What matters most
Your employer cannot see this.
Starting Monday is a private tool for your career. Here is what your employer, colleagues, and recruiters cannot see:
- ✓Your account does not appear in any directory, marketplace, or recruiter search.
- ✓Your target companies are visible only to you. We do not share your watchlist with anyone.
- ✓Your resume, positioning summary, and career notes are stored securely and never shared with third parties.
- ✓We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with recruiters, employers, or data brokers.
- ✓We do not use your profile data to train AI models without explicit consent.
- ✓The only people who can see your data are you and Starting Monday's founding team, for the purpose of operating the product.
If you use a work email to sign up, that does not give your employer any access. Your account is yours.
