When the time comes to add roles to the notice, you would click on Add Roles and be taken to the following page:
Towards the bottom of the page you will see the following available Privacy Settings referencing what can been seen on the notice in regards to the job poster's name and company details. You may pick one of the three options:
***Please note that privacy settings are only available for Voiceover notices at this time.
When you are then ready to begin creating a role, if Voiceover is selected and the + Add a Role button is pressed, you will now be able to flesh it out:

Evaluating Voiceover Applicants
Employers are able to evaluate voiceover applicants using the same tools they use for all other talent on the platform. The only difference to be found is that when viewing the details of an application, the submitted application is focused on voiceover attributes.
- Voice reels are quickly accessible to make it possible to listen to the applicant’s voice
- Voice characteristics, languages and accents, make it possible to understand the range of the performer's abilities
