Code of conduct

Respect people

Argue with ideas, not with people. Criticise the code, the approach or the vacancy, never the person.

• no insults, threats, bullying or stalking - in messages or at events;
• no discrimination by age, gender, nationality, religion, disability, sexual orientation or any other trait;
• no unsolicited sexual messages or images;
• «no» is an answer: if someone declined or does not reply, do not write to them again and again.

Keep to the point

A personal request is for getting to know someone and talking, not for advertising. A vacancy is offered with «Offer a vacancy», an event with «Invite to an event»: that way the person sees exactly what is offered and decides for themselves.

• do not send the same message to many people;
• do not add links to other services to move the conversation there without need;
• stay on the topic of the conversation you are writing in.

Be honest

• your profile holds only your real experience, education and skills;
• do not pretend to be another person or company;
• a vacancy is real work on the terms written in it;
• check any text the AI suggested before you save or send it: you are responsible for it.

Respect other people’s privacy

• do not publish other people’s contacts, correspondence or screenshots of private conversations without consent;
• do not try to find out who is behind an anonymous candidate card - the person reveals themselves when they want to;
• use the data you got on the platform only for what it was given to you for.

For companies and recruiters

• answer applications and close a vacancy once it is filled;
• decline politely - the decline template in the company settings is there for that;
• keep a test task reasonable and never a substitute for real paid work;
• invite people to events they may genuinely be interested in.

At events

• organisers describe the event honestly and, if they cancel, tell the participants in advance;
• participants come when they have registered and, if they cannot, cancel to free the place;
• this code applies offline too, at the event itself.

If something goes wrong

If you see a profile, vacancy, event or message that crosses the line, report it at the foot of the page or from the conversation. The author does not learn who sent the report.

A moderator reviews every report. Depending on the breach we may warn, remove the content, limit features or block the account. After two «This is an ad» reports in a month personal requests are switched off for 30 days, and repeated breaches block the account.

If you disagree with a decision, write to us and we will review it again.
