   In all seriousness, I think talent is quantified on the platform through the perceived talent of those who recommend u + who u recommend

   Thanks for checking it out! – I think a) LinkedIn is corporate social media it's really gone down hill b) Endorsements are just full of noise (hard worker, great ppl person etc) no real actionable help c) they aren't curated! ppl

   Got it thanks for the feedback! I think the hiring manager / tech recruiter is that customer. Trouble is I wanted to aim the messaging towards the network members first... definitely needs work

   Thanks for checking it out! Personal referrals are by far the best for the employer / employee comp + retention wise. But yeah a free trello / slack community could be great but I think the public profile approach just works with

    Thanks for checking it out! The Pro Plan is only to have unlimited profile visits, and meant for hiring managers so i'm charging kinda like linkedin sales nav. I think the value add is that you can traverse a network of recommendations

    Never looked at it like that haha – hopefully it won't only be recommendations to be a corporate cog

    Exactly yeah, so for instance you can see people who recommend you + the people they recommend to expand your network. I totally get the transparency thing (coveted contacts and all) but I think its more about helping people out in their ca

    Hmm you're right, it's more likely you would get value from this if someone vouched for u / you vouch for others, haven't thought about how to help people without a network yet. Open to suggestions tho!

    I tried LinkedIn but its corporate garb nowadays. connections are like follower lists, recommendations are fluffy ( Great Communicator, Hard Worker) and there's no curation, everyone hands out recommendations left and right

    Nothing at this point haha but they can only be positive and help your profile out. But i get where ur coming from – what would you suggest an acceptance of a recommendation from the receipient?

    Cheers thanks for the feedback! I think a couple other people have been mentioning the free limits / pricing as a roadblock

    by rohanmahen 3y ago

    Recommend people publicly but they have to be signed up yeah – can only be positive recommendations though!

    Cheers thanks for the feedback! I think there's been some pushback on price will definitely reflect on this
