How It Works

It's easy to join BeKnown. And we'll guide you every step of the way. As you install the app, we'll use your Facebook information to create your BeKnown account.

Next, you can invite connections to join your professional network and start earning badges to showcase on your profile. Ta-da! You've just joined BeKnown.

Your dashboard on BeKnown provides a snapshot of your professional network, and keeps you up to date with your connections.

You can review your network stats, including badges and endorsements you've earned and the number of companies you follow.

Plus, you'll also see suggested tasks and recommended connections to get the most from BeKnown.

Managing your professional and social life has never been easier.

With BeKnown, you can invite friends and colleagues to connect professionally even if you're not friends on Facebook - and your friends-only social communications will never be disclosed on BeKnown.

We've also made it easy to invite your professional connections from other networks besides Facebook, like Twitter, to help you build your network faster.

And if you have contacts from your Gmail or Yahoo! Mail account, you can invite them in a few clicks.

Your BeKnown profile showcases your work experience, skills, accomplishments, and interests. It starts out like a resume, but can become so much more as you earn badges and endorsements that become a permanent part of your professional identity.

Feel free to edit your profile at any time. And here's a tip: save time and import your profile information from your Monster.com profile.

Also, be sure to take advantage of the BeKnown privacy settings that allow you to control what you share and with whom.

And remember: you can upload a professional photo to your BeKnown profile - instead of using the Facebook photo that shows your social side. BeKnown always keeps your professional life separate from your social life.

Badges are earned on BeKnown based on your work history, education, size and composition of your professional network, endorsements you've given or received, and more.

You'll have fun competing with your connections to see who has the best badges. Check out the badge gallery to find out what it takes to unlock badges.

Earning endorsements has never been easier.

With BeKnown, the person making the endorsement has the option of a) providing a simple "stamp of approval" of the skills you list on your profile, or b) including a written recommendation.

When a connection writes an endorsement for you, we'll email you and ask for your approval before posting it to your profile. You can even earn badges as more people endorse your skills.

BeKnown finds and recommends jobs for you based on your skills and experience - before you even do a search. In the Friends' Jobs section, you can also view jobs that are posted by people in your network. (Psst - these are jobs where you have an inside connection, and might not be found anywhere else!)

Or, you can search thousands of jobs to find the perfect one for you.

Interested? Simply click "I'm Interested" and you're done! We'll email the job poster and include a link to your BeKnown profile, which serves as your resume.

Explore connections on BeKnown with Company Profiles. You can see the people who you're connected with at a company-and people you should be connected with.

Companies can claim a profile for free and provide information on products, services, job opportunities, and more.

To get the latest news and updates from a company, click "Follow Company" on a Company Profile page. All company updates will be automatically posted to your Network Updates.
