Connect with other professionals on the platform to expand your network and enable direct messaging.

Steps 1. Find a User to Connect With

You can send connection requests from several places:

  • Candidate Search — Click the Connect button on a candidate card
  • Candidate Profile — Click Connect on their full profile page
  • Company Profile — Connect with recruiters listed on a company's page
  • Network Page — Use the search and filter tools to find users

2. Send the Request

Click the Connect button next to the user's name. The request is sent immediately.

3. Wait for Acceptance

The connection will show as Pending until the other user accepts. Once accepted, you can message each other directly.

Managing Outgoing Requests

View your pending requests on the Network page. Filter by Pending status to see all outstanding requests.

Tips

  • Connection requests from recruiters to candidates include your company affiliation, so make sure your company profile is complete.
  • Do not spam connection requests. Excessive outreach may result in your account being flagged.
  • You must be connected with someone to send them direct messages.
