Yes. When adding or editing a certification, click the upload area to attach a PDF, PNG, or JPG of your certificate, digital badge, or verification page screenshot. Proof documents are stored securely and only visible to the verification team.

Credly auto-verification completes within minutes. Manual reviews typically take 2–5 business days. Certifications with uploaded proof documents and valid verification URLs are processed faster. You'll receive a notification when your certification status changes.

The system automatically updates the status to "Expired" when the expiration date passes. You'll receive a reminder notification 30 days before expiry. To renew, edit the certification with your new credential details and resubmit for verification.

Yes. Use the "Custom Certification" option to manually enter the certification name, issuing organization, and details. Custom certs can still be submitted for verification with proof documents.

Verified certifications appear on your public profile by default. You can control visibility through your privacy settings. Pending and rejected certifications are only visible to you.

No. Cyberr is the professional network for cybersecurity. Heelr is the cybersecurity services marketplace connected to the Cyberr professional community.

Eligible Cyberr Premium members can provide services through Heelr when they meet the relevant provider and identity verification requirements. Providers can include independent cybersecurity professionals as well as cybersecurity companies offering specialist or managed services.

Identity verification is an additional trust signal: it helps establish that the person behind a professional profile is who they claim to be. It does not guarantee competence, trustworthiness, security or the outcome of an engagement, so organisations should still carry out their own checks.

Current examples include audit readiness, fractional security leadership, incident response, managed security, product security review, security questionnaires and supplier assurance. These are examples rather than an exhaustive list.

Heelr is designed for organisations that need cybersecurity expertise, including startups, SMEs and larger organisations looking for specialist skills, additional capacity or help with a particular security requirement.

Upgrade to Cyberr Premium and complete the relevant provider and identity verification requirements, then set up as a provider on Heelr. Provider setup and engagement details are handled on Heelr.

Go to "Mentoring" in the sidebar. Browse the mentor grid or use filters: specialty (e.g. Cloud Security, Red Teaming), price range (including free mentors), language, session type (video, chat, CV review), and minimum rating. Click any mentor card to see their full profile with reviews, availability, and booking options.

Mentoring uses a connection-first model. A mentor (or mentee) sends an invitation with a proposed rate, currency (supporting USD, EUR, GBP, and more), and personal message. The recipient reviews and accepts, declines, or the sender can edit pending offers to update the rate or message which triggers a re-notification.

A Premium subscription is required to become a mentor. On the Mentoring page, switch to "Mentor Mode" and click "Become a Mentor". Complete your mentor profile: write a compelling tagline and about section, select your specialties (up to 10), set your hourly rate or mark as free, choose your session types, configure your weekly availability slots, and select your timezone and languages.

Mentor Mode is a dedicated dashboard view for active mentors inspired by Airbnb's Host Mode. It shows your active mentees, sent invitations (Pending/Declined/Withdrawn), upcoming sessions, milestone progress, review scores, and the ability to re-invite mentees from terminal states.

Mentors can configure multiple session types: Video Call (live screen-sharing sessions), Chat-based Mentoring (asynchronous guidance), CV/Resume Review (document-focused feedback), Mock Interview (practice sessions with feedback), Career Guidance (strategic career planning), and Technical Deep-dive (hands-on technical problem solving).

Milestones are structured learning goals set by the mentor or mentee. Each milestone has a title, description, target date, and progress percentage (0–100%). Examples: "Complete OSCP lab exercises" or "Build a home lab with SIEM". Both parties can update progress. Completed milestones appear in the mentee's learning history.

A Premium subscription is required to access both mentor and mentee features. Some mentors offer their sessions for free (marked with a "Free" badge), while others set hourly rates in their preferred currency. You can filter the mentor directory to show only free mentors.

During the 7-day Premium trial, you can set up your mentor or mentee profile, browse mentors, and explore the platform. However, both mentor and mentee features will lock when your trial expires. Upgrade to paid Premium to keep full access.

Yes. On the Mentoring page in "Find a Mentor" mode, click "Set Up Your Mentee Profile" to describe your goals, interests, and what you're looking for. This helps mentors discover and invite you.

Every meaningful action on the platform earns reputation points: Creating a post (+5 points), Writing a comment or reply (+10 points), Receiving an upvote on your post or comment (+2 points). Your cumulative score determines your reputation tier. Points are awarded instantly via automated database triggers.

There are five tiers: New Member (0–99 points) default tier for new users; Contributor (100–499 points) active community participants; Expert (500–1,499 points) recognized knowledge contributors; Top Expert (1,500–4,999 points) highly influential members; Community Leader (5,000+ points) the platform's most valuable contributors. Each tier has a distinct color and label.

Badges are earned automatically when you reach specific milestones. They're organized into six categories: • Contribution: First Post (1 post), Active Contributor (10 posts), Top Contributor (50 posts), Prolific Author (100 posts) • Discussion: First Response (1 comment), Community Helper (25 comments), Discussion Leader (100 comments) • Recognition: First Upvote (1 upvote received), Rising Star (50 upvotes), Crowd Favorite (200 upvotes), Influencer (500 upvotes) • Cybersecurity: Threat Researcher, Cyber Sentinel, Firewall Guardian, Red Team Operator, Blue Team Defender, Bug Hunter, Incident Responder, Cryptographer, Pentester Pro, Zero Day Hunter • Cyber AI: AI Specialist, AI Researcher, Neural Network, ML Pioneer, Prompt Engineer, Deep Learning • Milestones: Dedicated (100 reputation), Unstoppable (1,000 reputation), Legend (5,000 reputation)

Earned badges are displayed on your profile page in the reputation section. They show as compact, labeled badges with icons. The most recent badges appear first. A maximum of 8 badges are shown by default, with a "+X more" indicator for additional badges.

Yes, multiple safeguards are in place: Self-upvoting your own posts does not award reputation points. A daily cap of 20 points from interactions with the same user prevents collusion and vote manipulation. All point calculations are handled by server-side database triggers, making them tamper-proof.

Access the Leaderboard from the sidebar under "Community". It displays a ranked list of users by reputation score, filterable by time period: This Week, This Month, or All Time. Each entry shows the user's rank, name, avatar, reputation score, tier, and earned badges.

Currently, reputation points only increase. Deleting a post does not remove previously earned points. The system is designed to encourage participation without penalizing experimentation.

Reputation measures your community engagement and contribution volume (posts, comments, reactions received). Certifications measure your verified professional credentials. They're complementary a high reputation shows you're an active community member; verified certifications show you're qualified and credentialed.

Talent Search is a recruiter-exclusive feature that searches a global database of cybersecurity professionals. Candidates are sourced from public professional data and enriched with contact information, certifications, and skills. Results are ranked by an AI fit score relative to your specific job posting.

When you click "Invite to Apply" on a candidate card, an email is sent to their best available address. The email includes the job title, your company name, and a direct link to view and apply for the role on Cyberr. The candidate can then create an account (or sign in) and submit their application.

After inviting a candidate, a status badge appears on their card: • Sending… Email is queued and being processed • Sent Email has been accepted by the mail server • Delivered Email reached the candidate's inbox • Bounced Email could not be delivered (invalid address) • Retrying… A bounce was detected and the system is trying an alternate email address • Failed All delivery attempts were unsuccessful

The candidate receives a professionally branded email from Cyberr with your job details. If they click the link, they're taken to the job posting page where they can view the full description and apply. You'll see their application in your Pipeline tab. The delivery status updates automatically on their candidate card.

When an invitation email bounces, the system automatically identifies the next best email address for that candidate and resends the invitation. This happens via webhook processing you'll see the badge change from "Bounced" to "Retrying…" and then to "Delivered" if the retry succeeds. The Delivery History (visible by hovering the contact email) shows the full timeline of all attempts.

Delivery History is a chronological timeline of all email delivery events for a candidate. Hover over the contact email link on any invited candidate to see it. Each entry shows the event type (sent, delivered, bounced), the recipient email address, and the timestamp. This helps you understand exactly what happened with each outreach attempt.

To prevent spam, there is a cooldown period between invitations to the same candidate. The system enforces a minimum wait time (shown on the badge tooltip). Once the cooldown expires, the "Invite to Apply" button becomes active again. If the candidate was invited for a different job at a different company, the cooldown may not apply.

When a candidate has multiple email addresses or phone numbers on file, the primary one is displayed with a (+N) indicator showing how many additional contacts are available. Hover over the email link to see all contacts ranked by quality, including type badges (Personal, Work), grades, and bounce history.

Each candidate receives an AI-generated fit score (0–100) based on: skill overlap with your job requirements, certification relevance, years of experience alignment, location proximity, and overall profile completeness. Scores above 70 indicate strong matches. The methodology is transparent click "Why?" on any score to see the breakdown.

Ghost Mode is a privacy feature available to Cyberr Premium members. When enabled, a candidate's identity is hidden their name, photo, current company, and education are redacted. However, their skills, certifications, AI fit score, and years of experience remain visible so recruiters can still assess quality. Ghost Profiles protect employed professionals who want to explore opportunities without alerting their current employer.

You can send a reveal request directly from the candidate card. Include your company name, the job title, salary range, and a compelling message explaining why the opportunity is a good fit. The Ghost Candidate receives a notification and decides whether to accept or decline. If they accept, their full identity (name, photo, contact details) is disclosed to you. If they decline, their identity remains hidden.

This is by design. Ghost Mode exists to protect user privacy and maintain community integrity. Many high-quality professionals use Ghost Mode because they are currently employed and don't want their job search visible. By keeping identity hidden until the candidate chooses to reveal, Cyberr prevents unwanted contact, protects careers, and ensures professionals feel safe exploring new opportunities on the platform.

The default stages are: Applied (new applications), Screening (initial review), Interview (actively interviewing), Offer (offer extended), Hired (accepted and onboarded), and Rejected (declined or not progressing). Each stage is colour-coded for quick visual identification.

The current pipeline uses a fixed set of standard stages designed for cybersecurity hiring workflows. Custom stages may be available in future updates.

Use the view toggle buttons at the top of the Pipeline tab. Kanban view shows drag-and-drop columns. List view shows a sortable, high-density table. Your preference is saved for next time.
