Send hire requests

Hire requests let a user or workspace express direct interest in working with a manager. This helps move hiring from passive browsing into active outreach.

What a hire request is

A hire request is a structured message sent through CollabOS to indicate that a workspace or hiring user wants to start a conversation with a manager. It helps formalize interest and create a cleaner hiring flow.

Why hire requests matter

Hire requests help teams:

• move from browsing to action
• create a clear signal of interest
• keep hiring communication organized
• avoid relying only on scattered DMs

They also help managers see incoming opportunities more clearly.

When to send a hire request

Send a hire request when:

• a manager looks like a strong fit
• the workspace is actively hiring
• the profile shows the right specialties
• you want to start a direct hiring conversation

What to consider before sending

Before sending a hire request, check:

• whether the manager’s profile matches your needs
• whether their specialties align with your workflow
• whether their availability looks relevant
• whether your workspace page and hiring details are ready

What makes a better hire request

A strong hire request is usually based on:

• clear fit
• clear hiring intent
• relevant role expectations
• trust and professionalism

💡Best practices

• send requests only when there is real intent to hire or discuss work
• make sure the manager is relevant to the role
• avoid spammy or overly broad outreach
• keep your workspace public presence complete before contacting others
