🤝 Apply to connect
Public channels never show either side’s contacts — by design. To reach someone, apply on their post; after they approve, both sides see contacts. Employers are not flooded with random DMs, and seekers are not forwarded everywhere after one application.
Prerequisite: set a Telegram
@username.
Without it applications fail — that is what gets exchanged after approval.
See Set a Telegram username.
How to apply
- On a channel post tap “Apply” / “Hire this talent” to jump to the bot
- Add a short note: who you are, why you fit, when you can start — or apply with no note
- They get a notice and decide
- One application per post per person — be specific
After they approve
- Both receive the other’s Telegram contact with a direct chat button
- If they do not add you, use “Remind them to add me” once — rate-limited, not spam
- Further talks happen in private chat; the platform does not join negotiations
Register the hire (important)
If you joined the role, tap “Register hire” under “My applications” in the bot.
It takes effect after the other side confirms; disputes use this record.
- Hiring channel: you are the seeker — you start registration; employer confirms
- Seeker channel: you posted the seeker listing — you start; the hiring side confirms
- You can submit directly or add notes (trial pay, full pay, trial length, other) before sending
- They confirm in Telegram; email only reminds that a hire awaits confirmation
- Later commission settlement and arbitration reference this confirmation
If you are declined
- They must give a reason you can see
- Try a better-matched post rather than chasing the same one
- Or publish your own seeker post and let employers find you
Tips for employers
- Respond quickly — speed and accept rate affect future applications
- When declining, write a concrete reason
- A company deposit raises application willingness a lot
Note template
- One-line positioning: 3 years cross-border ecommerce ops; took a store from 0 to $200k/mo
- Match the need: Shopify + paid ads — I can share past metrics
- Availability: online Beijing mornings; can start immediately
- Specific notes win; vague “I can do it, please contact me” rarely does
