Common questions and their answers
Q. What is the screening process?
Six Figures is a niche site catering for job seekers who are currently earning or capable of earning a salary package in the six figure package range ($100,000k). To access some services on the site, a member's resume is screened to ensure the details they provide are consistent with current market trends in terms of expected salary. Six Figures checks your resume and member profile to ensure only those whose salary is commensurate with the jobs advertised on the site can apply for positions.
Q. How is my information private?
When you create your member profile, only those businesses that you apply for a position with can view your details. Other members on the site and businesses do not have access to your information.
