Hire the capability. Not the résumé keyword.

And what you may never ask for

These fields are blocked from employer requests.

• Social Security number
  Why?

  A government identifier with no role in evaluating a candidate. It belongs to payroll onboarding after an offer, handled by the employer's own HR systems — never to a hiring platform.

• DoD ID number
  Why?

  A government identifier. Service can be evidenced by branch, dates and role without it.

• Medical history
  Why?

  Health information is not a hiring criterion, and collecting it creates discrimination exposure for the employer as well as risk for the Hero.

• Disability details or rating
  Why?

  A protected characteristic. An accommodation can be arranged from the request itself — the reason behind it is never needed.

• Religion
  Why?

  A protected characteristic with no bearing on job capability.

• Marital or family status
  Why?

  A protected characteristic. Availability and relocation are already requestable and answer the legitimate question.

• Race or ethnicity
  Why?

  A protected characteristic. Never collected, and never inferred from a photograph.

• Age or date of birth
  Why?

  A protected characteristic. Years of service and work history convey experience without it.

• Clearance level, agency or adjudication detail
  Why?

  Coarse confirmation is requestable; the level is not. The detail is sensitive in aggregate and can itself be revealing.

• Classified information
  Why?

  Unlawful to disclose. A candidate must never be placed in a position where a platform appears to invite it.

• Operational or deployment detail
  Why?

  Unit movements, mission specifics and deployment detail can endanger people who are still serving.

• Home address
  Why?

  General location and relocation preference answer every legitimate hiring question. A street address is a personal safety matter.

• Personal phone number or email
  Why?

  All contact runs through the platform until the Hero chooses otherwise. This is the promise the directory is built on.

• Financial or banking information
  Why?

  Never relevant before an offer, and never relevant to Aim High Hero at all.

• Criminal history
  Why?

  Where a background check is lawful and necessary it is the employer's regulated process, run with its own notice and consent — not a field on a talent platform.
