Community Guidelines
Last updated: 2026-04-23 · Draft content — pending legal review before launch.
ContactedIn works because members treat each other professionally. These guidelines are the norms we uphold together.
Be specific
Vague outreach wastes everyone’s time. Say why you are contacting someone and what you are asking for.
Be respectful
No pressure, no guilt, no manipulation. A professional "no" is a complete answer.
Be honest
Represent your role, experience, and intent accurately. Verification depends on it.
Respect the recipient’s time
Keep your first message short. State the opportunity, the reason, and the next step.
Report bad behavior
If something feels off, report it. Trust & Safety reviews every report.
