Relevants: networking for work

A designer needs a client, a startup needs a marketer, and in big chats job posts drown among ads. Looking for people to work with in a messenger feed is slow and frustrating. Relevants is a Telegram mini app where specialists and projects find each other. 🤝

The service's motto translates as "networking for business": nobody flirts here, people look for work partners. The main areas are design, marketing and IT.

How the search works

You create a profile and a built-in AI picks matching results. According to the authors, creating a profile is free. The bot description speaks of more than six thousand freelancers and openings.

The idea is simple. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of posts by hand, you get a selection for your skills or your task. The fuller your profile, the sharper the match. 🎯

Two sides of one app

• If you are a specialist. Say what you do, which tools you know and what kind of projects you want.
• If you are a client. Describe the task, the deadline and the format: a one-off job, a project or a permanent role.
• If you are building a team. List the roles you are missing and why the project is interesting.

All three cases live in one window and need no separate sign-up on a website, because you enter through your Telegram account.

A profile that gets replies

1. Start with one line: who you are and how you help. "Interface designer for mobile apps" beats "creative professional".
2. Name concrete tools and types of tasks.
3. Add a sample of work or a short note about a result you achieved.
4. State the format: remote, part-time, a one-month project.
5. Leave a clear way to reach you.

Five minutes on a profile pay off, because AI matching works with what you wrote. An empty form returns random results. ✍️

Why searching inside Telegram is handy

Many work deals already happen in the messenger. When the first contact lands in the same app, you skip moving a conversation from a job board into private messages.

A mini app also opens in a second and needs no installation. You can check a selection from your phone between meetings.

Staying careful when hiring or job hunting

Any business networking place attracts scammers. A few rules hold every time. 🔒

• Never pay for access to a job. Honest work does not ask the specialist for a deposit.
• Check the other person. Look at the portfolio, reviews and profiles elsewhere.
• Put terms in writing. Deadlines, payment and scope belong in the chat history.
• Do not send documents without a reason. Passport and bank details are needed only when a contract is signed.

For bigger jobs use a contract or an escrow-style deal, with payment in stages. That protects both sides.

Where to begin today

Open the mini app, fill in a profile and choose a direction: design, marketing or IT. Look at the first selection and message two or three people, not one. Not everyone replies, so wide reach matters more than a perfect message.
