# Recruit Mode and public recruiting profiles

# Recruit Mode and public recruiting profiles

Recruit Mode turns an approved public player profile into a recruiting-focused presentation. It does not change who can manage the athlete or make private information public automatically.

## Before enabling Recruit Mode

Complete and verify the information appropriate to the athlete:

* Graduation year, current school, GPA, positions, and measurements
* Current team and approved contact destination
* Awards, honors, biography, and athlete goals
* Verified statistics, performance trends, and highlights

<Warning>
  For a minor, use a guardian-controlled contact destination when appropriate. Do not publish a private phone number, home address, birthdate, school schedule, or account email without informed authorization.
</Warning>

## Turn on Recruit Mode

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manage Player">
    Select the athlete, choose **Manage Player**, and open **Profile & teams**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete recruiting fields">
    Add the approved school, graduation, academic, athletic, and recognition details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose public sections">
    Decide whether statistics, trends, performance, highlights, and coaching insight can appear publicly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable and preview">
    Turn on **Recruit Mode**, save, and open the public profile in a separate window.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Recruiting actions

| Action                 | What it does                                                                             |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Message**            | Sends an inquiry to the approved athlete or guardian contact destination                 |
| **Share**              | Shares the SEO-friendly public profile through supported apps or the device share menu   |
| **PDF resume**         | Creates a print-friendly recruiting summary from approved profile information            |
| **Create Player Card** | Creates a shareable sports-card image using the athlete's approved photo and information |
| **Follow**             | Uses the browser's supported bookmark or follow behavior                                 |

<Tip>
  Test every action after publishing. The public profile should be understandable without requiring a ProspectHQ login.
</Tip>

## Update the recruiting record

Recruiting information is most useful when it stays current. Review it after each season, major tournament, testing period, award, school change, or new highlight.
