Indy AI is a new feature within Contra Pro that helps independents find career-defining opportunities through their existing network on one feed. It connects to LinkedIn and X, quietly surfaces warm opportunities from your extended network, and cuts through the noise of job boards and cold outreach.
Step 1: Browse the feed
Go to the Opportunities feed to connect Indy AI and start discovering opportunities from your LinkedIn and X network. On this feed, you'll see a combination of jobs from Contra, Linkedin and X.
Step 2: Apply to jobs
If a job is from Linkedin or X, you'll be taken to these platforms to read the full job description and apply if interested. Once you've applied on one of these platforms, you can hit "Mark as applied" on our feed to move the job into your "Active" tab. This is where you can monitor the status of jobs you've applied to.
If the job is posted on Contra, you'll see the option to "Apply" instead of "Mark as applied". Once this is clicked, you'll be able to read the full job description and submit your application on Contra. Once submitted, these jobs will also be moved into your "Active" tab.
Step 3: Referring jobs (optional)
See a job that's not perfect for you but is for someone else? You can easily refer the job to them by clicking "Refer".
Once clicked, this will open up your direct messages so you can send the job to anyone on or off of Contra.
Step 4: Marking jobs as "Not a fit" (optional)
If you see a job that's not a great fit for your skillset, click "Not a fit" to teach Indy AI what kind of opportunities you're looking for. Once clicked, you'll be prompted to share why this job wasn't a fit. You can also select "Other" to share custom feedback.
