LinkedIn Cringe 2022 recap

I’m starting a new channel called Humans of LinkedIn, where I will talk about all the hardships faced by the Influencers and Top Voices on LinkedIn in getting customers for their Topmate or course pages. The idea is to help people build a brand for themselves so that they can sell their services to people who are in genuine need of help and/or mentorship. If you are helping people for free, that is not acceptable by us, because we believe people should only help people for money. 

P.S. We will only accept sob stories, and if you do not have a sob story, we will help you create one.

P.P.S. Out here for making money, so don’t expect us to publish your stories for free.

I’m sure many of y’all old timers will find this interesting :)

"It's that time of the year again—counting accomplishments. I came across a Twitter trend about such posts, and it's heartening to read about people achieving so much, including celebrating those seemingly small victories. As the year ends, I acknowledge those who may not have such so-called accomplishments; I hear you. This year felt monotonous for me, with neither highs nor lows, but looking back, I'm content. The year is over, and I'm optimistic about doing better and executing my plans in the coming year.

Life is good, even when it feels stagnant. Don't be disheartened; it gets better. I've had some of my worst years, but they were followed by great ones. This especially goes out to young individuals entering the workforce—your favorite company or desired CTC might be just around the corner. Keep at it.

Survival is the biggest achievement.

Though this available on Linkedin still thought of sharing it here for larger audience for visibility.

I'll go first: the phrase I said the most this year was "can you hear me" on g-meet calls.

So.. Around 2 years back I got my first payout of 50k as a referral bonus for a friend I referred to my company. 

Around same time.. My team had a few positions.. So i put it on linkedin and got a decent response.. Got another referral.. 

Next year.. I decided to scale it.. I started putting multiple posts on linkedin for positions across my company and started streaming the responses on google sheet. Having a big linkedin network of 20k helped. 

This year I scaled it to 4L a year... But then it all stopped after one fine day there was a HR circular to not undertake commercial level sourcing of profiles on linkedin.. And only refer ppl I know. 

It's a different matter that I could manage to source almost 20-40x more relevant profiles as compared to my HRs even with their third party agencies. More than half of my team members are my referrals :). 


While scaling this hustle.. This is what I learnt. 

1) You will get lots of spam.. I feel sry for some candidates .. But sometime even civil grads will apply for semiconductor jobs. 

2) Better to invite applications using a google form with proper filters.. Only serious ppl will apply. 

3) Do not refer everyone.. Reduce your effort and only refer candidates who have a chance. 

4) Engage with candidates, followup after interviews. 

5) Do not trust your employer will automatically honor referral payouts if you don't track.. I literally lost more than 2L coz of inefficient referral tracking system. 

6) Control your greed.. Even if you scale up.. Limit yourself to a decent no.. Say 2L a year.. Referral policy is for company's benifit.. They will shut you down one way or another if they find you are gaining. 

7) Handling it at scale is a lot of work.

What Using/misusing employee referral policy has taught me.

Never heard using referal as a side hustle. Great job

Same time last year, an early version of Grapevine was ready. We still didn’t know if it will ever work, if anyone will use it and even if they do, will they return to use it a second time? 

If there’s anything we did well this year, it was in creating a space where smart, talented, high-potential people like to spend time and communicate with each other on topics ranging from work, salaries, personal finances, life, philosophy, technology and so much more

Rest everything: Product, Marketing, Engineering, Design, we want to get better on, and we will

Thank you for your patience as we slowly build this product and mess up, many many times. 

In 2024 we promise to work 2X harder to deliver you the most helpful platform for professionals 

But more important than what the Grapevine team achieved in 2023, is what y’all did: 

- You created 24K posts 
- You created ~200K comments 
- Shared 10s of thousands of salaries to help each other 
- Shared 1000s of open job opportunities 
- Referred 100s of people 
- Helped 100s of Grapeviners find new jobs 
- Helped 1000s of Grapeviners negotiatiate an offer
- Helped 100s of people not move to Bangalore by complaining enough xD 
- Endless awesome conversations
- Infinite good vibes 

This is truly wholesome and thank you for all your countless high-quality contributions - not to forget the epic memes and laughs along the way! 

Onwards and Upwards!
Happy 2024
