A highlighted profile in the context of a job consultancy refers to a featured or specially promoted candidate profile that is given additional visibility and priority during the recruitment process.

🌟 What is a Highlighted Profile?

A highlighted profile is a candidate's resume or summary that is presented as a top match for current job openings — often due to the candidate’s exceptional qualifications, in-demand skills, or relevance to urgent hiring needs.

It’s a way for a recruitment company like Career Contact and Recruitment to draw extra attention to strong candidates for quick placements.

🔎 Key Features of a Highlighted Profile

• ✅ Promoted to Employers – Sent directly to employers or featured in employer shortlists.

• ✅ Priority in Hiring Process – Given higher consideration due to skill match or immediate availability.

• ✅ Optimized Presentation – Professionally formatted with a clear summary of strengths, certifications, and experience.

• ✅ Quick Response Time – Candidates are ready for interviews and often available to join immediately.

• ✅ Verified Documents – Background and credential checks are often pre-completed.

💼 Benefits for Employers

• Saves screening time

• Reduces hiring delays

• Increases confidence in candidate quality

• This profile would be marked as "Highlighted" and sent to hospital HR teams for faster review and scheduling.

💡 How Recruitment Companies Use Highlighted Profiles

• On internal portals or employer dashboards

• In email campaigns to clients ("Top Candidates of the Week")

• On featured sections of the website

• During urgent requirement fulfilments

​

🌟 How to Highlight Your Profile for Recruiters

🔹 1. Have a Strong, Updated Resume

• Tailor it to your role (e.g., Nurse, Lab Technician, Hospital Admin).

• Highlight key skills, certifications, and achievements.

• Use clean formatting and proper medical/job terminology.

📌 Tip: Use bullet points and include measurable results (e.g., "Managed 15-bed ICU ward", "Reduced patient admission time by 20%").

🔹 2. Mention Availability Clearly

Employers love candidates who can join immediately or with short notice.

Example:
Availability: Immediate | Preferred Location: Bangalore
Notice Period: 15 days

🔹 3. Highlight Certifications & Licenses

Especially in healthcare, valid registrations and certifications are crucial:

• MCI/Nursing Council registration

• BLS, ACLS, DMLT, etc.

• International licenses (DHA, HAAD, NCLEX)

Example:
✅ Registered Nurse (Karnataka Nursing Council)
✅ BLS & ACLS Certified – Valid until 2026

🔹 4. Add a Professional Profile Summary

Include a brief, 2–3 line summary at the top of your resume or in your email to the recruiter:

Example:
"Experienced ICU Nurse with 4+ years in emergency and critical care units. Certified in BLS/ACLS with strong patient management and quick decision-making skills. Available for immediate joining in Bangalore."

🔹 5. Keep Documents Ready & Verified

• Have scanned copies of certificates, ID, experience letters, etc.

• If you're applying through a consultancy, submit your documents for pre-verification — this makes you more “placement-ready.”

🔹 6. Be Responsive & Professional

• Reply quickly to recruiter calls, emails, or WhatsApp messages.

• Be flexible for interviews or document requests.

• Maintain a polite, professional tone.

Bonus: Ask the Consultancy to Feature You

At Career Contact and Recruitment, you can also request:

• To be part of their “Top Candidates” list

• A highlighted profile on their job board or email alerts to employers
