Networking on Simplify+

TL;DR

• See your network across every opportunity — Surface first-, second-, and third-degree LinkedIn connections, along with imported contacts, at companies you're interested in.

• Know who to reach out to — See how you're connected to employees and hiring managers before you apply, giving you more context for networking and referrals.

• Available throughout your search — Network insights appear across Job Matches, the Job Board, Job Lists, and supported applications in Copilot.

What Networking does

Networking helps you discover who you already know at the companies you're interested in.

Once you connect your LinkedIn account, Simplify maps your network against companies that are hiring and surfaces employees and hiring managers you may already have a path to through first-, second-, or third-degree connections.

You can also expand your network by syncing Google Contacts or importing contacts manually from a spreadsheet, giving Simplify more context to identify potential connections throughout your search.

The goal is to make it easy to see where relationships already exist before you invest time applying or reaching out.

Find connections where you're already applying

Networking is built directly into the rest of Simplify, so you don't need to search for connections separately.

Whenever you're viewing a job through Job Matches, the Job Board, Job Lists, or supported applications in Simplify Copilot, Simplify automatically checks whether you have existing connections at that company.

If you do, you'll be able to see:

• first-, second-, and third-degree LinkedIn connections

• employees and hiring managers connected to your network

• exactly how you're connected to them

Instead of manually searching LinkedIn for every company, you can immediately see whether you already have a potential introduction.

Reach out with more context

Finding a connection is only the first step.

Because Networking is connected to the rest of Simplify, you already have the role, company, and application details available when you're ready to reach out.

With Simplify+, AI Email can draft personalized outreach messages, referral requests, recruiter emails, and follow-ups directly from your Job Tracker using your profile, the job description, and your application as context.

That makes it easier to send messages that are specific to both the opportunity and the person you're contacting.

Connect your network

To start using Networking, connect your LinkedIn account from your profile.

You can also:

• sync your Google Contacts

• connect your Google Calendar contacts

• import contacts from a CSV or spreadsheet

Each source helps Simplify identify more potential connections across the companies you're targeting.

Where you'll see Networking

Once your network is connected, Networking works throughout the Simplify platform.

You'll see connection information while browsing our Job Board, reviewing Job Matches, and applying through Simplify Copilot. The same network can also be used alongside AI Email in your Job Tracker when you're ready to reach out.
