Unlike open DMs or cold emails, Connections ensure both sides are real (ID-verified) and that private details are shared only when both people agree.
What Is a Connection?
A Connection request is an invitation to start a private conversation on Vetano.
When you send a Connection request, it includes:
A short message from you
A private chat that opens only if accepted
Access to personal contact details and attachments only if the recipient allows it
How Connections Work
✅ 1) Both users must be ID-verified
Only ID-verified users can use key trust features and communicate through Connections.
✅ 2) You send a Connection request to open chat
Vetano does not use open DMs. The recipient chooses whether to accept.
✅ 3) Chat + private info unlock only after acceptance
Personal contact info and attachments (resume/certs/licenses/awards) are kept private by default.
They become visible only after a Connection is accepted.
Why Connections Matter
🛡️ Privacy + safety
Prevents spam and protects users from unwanted contact.
✅ Real intent
Connections signal that someone is serious — not just mass messaging.
🤝 Better hiring and collaboration
Employers can chat with applicants and talent; talent can message employers; businesses can collaborate — all with verified trust.
