Are the connections & referals on the basis of my imported current contacts? Or how does it work?

in v2 you should be able to upload either your linkedin contacts by downloading them from linkedin and uploading them to jackfruit, or uploading a spreadsheet into jackfruit. Curious to know how you are storing your current contacts?
What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that getting your dream job might be one to two connections away from you. Getting a referral for an interview at a company makes you 9 times more likely to get the job than someone who just applies. A lot of people think quantity is the answer to applications and interviews, but I believe its actually quality that counts. Our tool creates relations between your applications, contacts, and companies, helping you create relational pipelines and connections to the right opportunities.
The website is still in beta right now, but hoping to get a v2 version with better content and more automation. Right now, the user still has to do a lot of manual entry, which has led to some drop-off. Happy to answer questions or hear feedback!
