The mistakes that cost money and time

Most of the costly mistakes come from paying before you know what the paid tier changes, or from missing the renewal date. The table at the top lists the common ones with the fix for each.

Tips for founders

Set your non-negotiables before you touch a filter. Matching shows only people who meet each other's requirements, so a loose setup floods the feed and a tight one can empty it. ^[10]

Count your picks for two weeks before you pay. The daily limit is not stated, and the feed was slow for at least one reviewer, so one week may not show the pattern. ^[2]

Buy the shortest term that covers your search. The monthly figure falls as the term lengthens, but a longer term locks more money up front, and the Terms offer no refund route. ^{[1] [6]}

Tips for job seekers

Ask early who decides and what the process is. The company's own advice is to find out who makes the call before you spend weeks on it, and to ask about the process at the start. ^[9]

Send one follow-up after about a week. A single, specific follow-up keeps you visible without chasing. The company's guidance is general and gives no data behind it. ^[9]

Get equity terms in writing. The company's advice is to ask for equity terms in writing, because a verbal promise is hard to rely on later. ^[9]

Check eligibility before you sign up. Talent and startup hiring are US-focused, so a candidate outside the US should check first. ^[4]

Tips for startups and everyone else

Ask for the price, eligibility and refund terms in writing before a call. The company publishes no price for hiring, and its pages do not define 'user' or 'active'. ^{[4] [5]}

Ask for deletion in writing and keep the date. The Google Play listing gives no developer email, and the policy gives no number of days, so a written request is your only record. ^{[3] [7]}
