Core Platform Features
Our platform enables professional networking, skill development, and career advancement opportunities.
Professional Connections
Build and maintain your professional network by connecting with colleagues, partners, and industry contacts. When you establish connections, you gain the ability to explore each other’s networks, subject to mutual privacy settings. We leverage your profile information, browsing history, and optional address book uploads to suggest relevant connections and make your profile discoverable to others in your professional sphere.
You control who joins your network – all connection requests require your approval. When you invite someone to connect, they’ll see basic profile elements (name, photo, title, region).
Professional Development
Stay current with industry trends, insights, and learning opportunities. We analyze your activity, stated interests, and engagement patterns to recommend content, conversations, and learning resources tailored to your professional goals.
If you express interest in developing specific skills (through content consumption or direct input), we’ll customize recommendations to support your growth in those areas. With your permission, we may notify your network about profile updates, content you share, or professional milestones.
Career Advancement
Showcase your professional identity to potential employers or find candidates if you’re hiring. By default, your account is not publicly visible until resume criteria are met. Your profile visibility to companies depends on your privacy settings, which you can control directly through your resume. We use your profile data, skills, and preferences to recommend relevant job opportunities and may, with your permission, highlight your profile to companies seeking your qualifications.
Keeping your profile current ensures you receive the most appropriate opportunities and connections.

We use automated systems to help match job seekers with relevant opportunities and help companies find qualified candidates. These automated processes analyze the information you provide in your profile and resume, along with your activity on our platform, to:
All matching is based on the explicit information you provide in your profile, resume, and preference settings. You can update this information at any time to improve the relevance of matches and recommendations.

We may also send you communications about our Services, including updates, security notifications, and information about features that may interest you based on your profile and activity. You can manage your communication preferences through your account settings, though you cannot opt out of service-related messages such as security and legal notices.
