Sending, accepting, and what connections unlock.

## How connecting works

From someone's profile, hit **Follow** — they get an invitation to accept or ignore. Invitations wait in the menu under Personal, with a count so you don't miss them.

## What connections unlock

- Their career updates in your feed (and yours in theirs).
- Direct messaging between you.
- **Connections here** — on organization pages, job listings, and search results, you'll see which of your connections work somewhere. Knowing someone inside is half of job searching; we surface it everywhere it helps.

## Recommendations and team confirmations

Connections can write recommendations and confirm you worked together. Confirmed relationships are the verified backbone of the network — and they earn both sides contribution points.
