Manage incoming hire requests

Incoming hire requests help managers or recipients review opportunities from interested workspaces or users. This is where people can decide which opportunities to engage with and which to ignore or decline.

Why incoming requests matter

Incoming requests help recipients:

• see who is interested
• evaluate fit
• manage opportunities in one place
• avoid losing real hiring interest in DMs or chat apps

What incoming requests may show

An incoming hire request may include:

• sender identity
• workspace context
• request status
• timing
• related public profile context

Why this is useful

Without a structured inbox, hiring conversations often become hard to track. Incoming requests create:

• a clearer review process
• better organization
• stronger visibility into active interest
• fewer missed opportunities

What recipients should evaluate

When reviewing incoming requests, consider:

• does the sender look legitimate?
• does the workspace seem credible?
• does the role fit your skills?
• is the timing right for you?
• are trust signals present?

What you may do with requests

Depending on your workflow, you may:

• review them
• respond to them
• accept or move forward
• leave them pending
• decline if they are not a fit

💡Best practices

• review incoming requests regularly
• prioritize credible and relevant workspaces
• keep your own profile updated so requests stay relevant
• use trust signals when deciding where to respond
