How it works

Database hiring, without the noise

Whether you're a database professional looking for your next role or a recruiter searching for one, here's exactly what happens when you sign up.

For Database Professionals

1

Create your profile

Sign up in under a minute — just your name, email, and a password. Verify your email, then build a profile that shows off your database platforms, years of experience per platform, certifications, and employment history. The completeness score guides you to the fields that make you most discoverable.

2

Set your visibility

You control who sees you. Choose Active (visible to all recruiters), Open to opportunities (visible but passive), or Not looking (hidden). Add specific companies — your current employer, competitors, anyone — to your blocklist and they'll never see your profile.

3

Get discovered

Verified recruiters search the pool by database engine, seniority, location, availability, and work preference. They see your skills, summary, and employment history — not your email address. You're notified whenever someone views your profile.

4

Talk on your terms

Recruiters message you through the platform. You choose whether to reply. Everything stays in your DBCareers inbox — no more mystery emails or LinkedIn spam. Browse and apply to jobs on your own terms too, and track applications through your hub.

For Recruiters

1

Post a role

Create a recruiter account, verify your email, choose a plan, and post your first role in minutes. The job form captures the essentials — DB engine, seniority, location, salary, contract vs permanent — and your listing goes live immediately.

2

Search the talent pool

Filter database professional profiles by engine (Oracle / PostgreSQL / SQL Server / MySQL / MongoDB / cloud), years of experience, availability, work preference, and location. Every profile is database-specialist — no general-purpose devs to wade through.

3

Reach out and shortlist

Message any candidate directly through the platform — they see it in their DBCareers inbox. Shortlist candidates against specific roles and add private notes only you can see. Track everyone through the pipeline from applied to hired.

4

Flat subscription, unlimited access

DBCareers is a flat monthly or annual subscription for access to the talent pool — no per-user, per-post, or per-hire charge from us. Post as many roles as your plan allows, reach out to as many candidates as you like. Cancel any time.
