Why you should be paid for your personal data

Freelancers invest time and effort in building their professional journey: education, experiences, certifications… However, their information is exploited by recruitment platforms that profit from it without compensating them. Why accept this situation when your data has real economic value?

In this article, we will see why it is legitimate that you should be paid for your personal data and how to take control.

The hidden value of your CV

A CV, it's not just a simple document. It's a gold mine of information for recruiters and companies :

• Experiences and competencies : Essential data for matching a candidate with a mission.
• Availability : A key criterion for recruiters looking for a freelancer immediately available.
• Professional network : Some platforms analyze your network to identify other talents.

Recruitment platforms have understood the value of this data and monetize it by selling it to companies, sometimes at a premium price.

How companies already monetize your information?

Today, several industries reward those who provide valuable data :

• Influencers are paid for their audience.
• Advertising platforms buy behavioral data.
• SaaS software editors monetize the insights they collect.

Why not be paid for your CV? Your CV is an asset, and you should be compensated for its use.

The problem with the current model

The problem with classic recruitment platforms is that they do not play fair:

• No compensation : Your CV generates business, but you don't touch a thing.
• Lack of visibility : You don't know who consults your information or how they are used.
• Data stored without updates : An obsolete CV can be used without your consent.

It's time to change this unjust model.

The solution: a fairer model for freelancers

What if each interaction with your CV paid you? That's exactly what transhumance proposes:

• Direct payment : You receive a payment every time a recruiter uses your data.
• Total transparency : You know who consults your profile and for what.
• Absolute control : You decide which platforms and companies can see your information.

Your CV is an asset. It's time to exploit it for you... and not for others.

Conclusion

Freelancers invest in their skills and career. It is therefore normal that they be compensated when their professional data is used. With transhumance, you can finally transform your CV into a source of revenue and take control of your information.
