As part of your profile, WeAreDevelopers allows you to set your expectations for your next job, such as type of job, location, salary etc. WeAreDevelopers then uses an algorithm to take your profile and create an anonymous profile for you, such anonymous profile may include information on your skills, location, types of experience but will not include your name, contact information or other unique identifier ("Anonymous Profile").

Only in the case of the commitment to an interview by the developer will the whole Profile be shared with the employer.
