Role focus, the tools you actually open, project history, availability windows and references, kept in one place and updated when things change. Recruiters in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria read it in that order, then send a direct brief.
A running log of what changed here and when. Recruiters often check the last update before sending a brief, so the timeline stays visible rather than buried in settings.
Switched from full-time to three days a week while a Cape Town studio contract runs. Weekends removed from the calendar.
Added two Durban retail projects and dropped a 2021 mockup that no longer reflects the current toolset.
A former studio lead in Pretoria agreed to stay listed as a referee and was briefed on the current role focus.
Replaced a copied CV paragraph with a plain-language note on the tasks worth taking on next, written in first person.
Marked as hybrid with two days on site in Johannesburg, plus a note on backup power for load-shedding days.
Profile
This is where your Talentack profile lives. Role focus, the tools you actually open on a Monday, project history, availability windows and references sit in one place. Recruiters in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria read this page before they send a brief, so the details you keep here decide what kind of work reaches you.
Nothing here is rewritten for you. The summary is yours, the portfolio strip is yours, and the list of tasks you want more of is the one you edit as your focus shifts.
Update role focus, tools, seniority band and the summary you wrote yourself.
Reorder recent projects so the strongest two sit first in the strip.
Set working hours and time-zone overlap so briefs arrive at the right moment.
Keep three referees briefed and current, ready for a call or email.
