Hiding your profile from shepherds
For talentsUpdated 7 Oct 2026
Take yourself out of the shepherds' Talents list, and what shepherds you book can still see.
Hiding your profile
- Step 1: Go to Settings → Privacy & visibility.
- Step 2: Switch off Show my profile to shepherds. The card then says Hidden from shepherds.
Switch it back on at any time and you're listed again straight away.
Where to find itOpen Privacy & visibility
What changes
- You leave the Talents list, so shepherds browsing talents can't find you or invite you to a coffee chat.
- Chats you've already booked carry on as normal.
- A shepherd you book still sees your name, your photo and whatever you include in that request.
Your public profile link
Hiding your profile from shepherds also switches your public link off, unless you turn the link on yourself on your Profile. Then people you share it with can still open it, but shepherds can't find you or invite you from Talents. Your public profile link
Hiding just your photo
Prefer to stay listed without your photo? Leave Show my profile to shepherds on and switch off Profile photo under What shepherds can see. Shepherds see your initials instead.
Accounts that are never listed
- Shepherd accounts: as a shepherd you aren't listed among talents. Other shepherds can find you in Network.
- Work accounts: an account your employer invited you to is never listed for shepherds. Switch to your personal account to choose how shepherds see you.
