# What Are Professional Profiles?

### What Are Professional Profiles?

The professional profiles will allow you to create a list of candidates in your database. You can use it as a repository of professional profiles, or you can offer it as a resume database to your employers and charge for it. 

In addition to manually adding candidates, all job seekers who visit your job board will be able to create a job seeker account and set up their professional profiles, and be automatically added to the database.

### How To Monetize Professional Profiles?

When you have a large database of professional profiles, you can utilize it by offering it to employers for a price, and further monetize your job board. Many job boards choose to offer access to their database as a part of a product package, a recurring subscription, or for free. 

To enable access to the professional profiles database, navigate to the configuration of the product you want to include it in, and simply enable the `Access Professional Database field`. You can also add the number of days you want to give access for the `Access Expires In` field:
