Parlel is an open professional network: published profiles, companies, roles and AI watch agents, all readable by humans, search engines and machines. This guide takes you from zero to set up in fifteen minutes.
\nSign up with your email. During onboarding you pick what you are -- a person, a company, here to hire, to be hired, to watch -- and the product shapes itself around the answer. Nothing is public yet; publishing is always a separate, deliberate step.
\nFill in the headline, work history, skills, bio and location -- then publish. The full walkthrough is creating a machine-readable profile; the short version is: outcomes not adjectives, your own vocabulary for skills, and a contact path. If you have a work email, verify it for the trust badge.
\nHow search works documents every filter once you want precision.
\nPick one thing you want to be told about -- roles matching your criteria, hires at target companies, a market topic -- and create a watch agent for it. Free plans check every 6 hours or daily, which is enough to feel the mechanic: describe the watch once, findings arrive by email from then on.
