PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH · Workflow idea
For a professional who has asked for networking suggestions, use their stated goals and permitted public profile information to prepare a private list of possible connections. Public profiles may be outdated or incomplete, and a recommendation is not proof of fit, endorsement, or consent to contact. Follow source terms, avoid sensitive inferences, keep the shortlist private and short-lived, and require the user to verify each person and approve the exact invitation before any outreach.
01 / The starting point
User-provided goals, permitted public profile details, and a private delivery address
“Surface possible professional connections without turning public profile information into an unreviewed contact action.”
02 / The work
Searches for profiles related to a user’s stated professional interests, prepares a shortlist, and delivers it privately to that user.
Use only details the user supplied or explicitly approved for this search.
Check source terms, recency, professional relevance, and possible duplicate identities.
Base notes on visible, role-related evidence and state uncertainty clearly.
Share suggestions only with the requesting user and remove unnecessary profile details.
Require the user to verify the person and approve the exact invitation before it is sent.
03 / The result
A source-linked private shortlist with tentative fit notes and individual outreach approval status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A source-linked private shortlist with tentative fit notes and individual outreach approval status.
Search results can be inaccurate, and a profile does not imply willingness to connect. Verify each suggestion, do not infer protected traits, keep personal information minimal, and require the user to approve any message and recipient before contact.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Explain the source, information used, delivery audience, and deletion timing.
Avoid sensitive attributes and explain the visible basis for each suggestion.
Respect permitted access and provide a way to remove inaccurate saved details.
Do not send invitations or messages until the user approves each recipient and wording.
