How do I add people to my Personal Network?

You can also invite colleagues, friends, and family to join Kalido. 

Mobile: tap the Nearby tab, and use the ‘Invite someone’ button.

How can I offer my Skills?

Mobile & web: go to the Skills tab and search for and add your Skills, including details of your rates, Competency self-rating, and Availability.

On mobile, you can also select the Skills tab and tap ‘Provide a Skill’. Search or add all the Skills you want to offer, which Networks you want to share them with and set your rates and Availability.

Alternatively, create a ‘Find me a Project’ Quest[link to Quests section] and we’ll take you through a hassle-free Profile update to make sure your Skills are up to date. Once your Profile is optimised, we’ll Match you to exciting Opportunities that are a great fit for your expertise. 

How can I offer my company’s Services?

You can represent companies for business development purposes. This could be your employer, or a company that you own or are associated with. You can add products and services to companies you represent and Match with people in your Network who are seeking companies with specific industries, products or services.

Go to the ‘Companies I represent’ tab on your Profile. You don’t need to be the owner of a company to represent it, and multiple people can represent the same company. Add your company’s logo, name, url, Location, short description, and your Role to the page. You can then search and add the key products and services your company can provide. Add an overview and pricing for each one, and include any relevant Certifications to boost their credibility.

Can I share examples of my work?

Yes – showcase your work on Kalido by uploading images to your Profile, and adding links to your portfolio, social accounts and website. You can send files in Chats and Channels on Kalido if you want to share specific documents or images.

What is Explorer?

The Explorer tab is a single, central place on Kalido which is constantly updating to show you your latest Opportunities and key changes across your Networks. Essentially, it’s a helpful dashboard that recommends your next steps and how to get the most out of Kalido.

The more regularly you update your Profile, the more relevant Opportunities we can keep surfacing to help you engage, enhance and grow. 

Explorer has three sections: 

Quick Enhance shows you all the easy ways you can boost your Profile to get more relevant Opportunities. 

Discover helps you explore all the latest activities, conversations and Opportunities across your Networks.

Latest Matches lets you review your latest Matches and Opportunities, and highlights the quick next steps you need to take to capitalise on them. 

How do I view all of my Opportunities?

Explorer shows you all your latest Opportunities across your Networks. But for your total Opportunities set, visit the Opportunities tab where you can explore them all. 

How can I get more Opportunities?

The more up-to-date details you include on your Kalido Profile, the more great opportunities you’ll get matched with. The Enhance My Visibility feature makes this easy by guiding you through 5 quick and simple steps. Simply go to your Opportunities tab and click the ‘Enhance My Visibility’ button. 

Kalido will show you the most in-demand skills in your Networks, and how you can acquire them to boost your Opportunity potential. You are also shown any Projects that you’ve worked on but haven’t tagged Skills to. Doing this is quick and easy, and helps to demonstrate your expertise, increase your Competency ratings and find more Opportunities.

Can I dismiss an Opportunity I no longer want to see?

Yes, just click on the cross in the top right-hand corner of the Opportunity card and it will be removed from your Explorer. You can reset your cards by clicking ‘Try resetting your Explorer cards’ at the bottom of the page to bring back cards you have recently removed but want to see again. 

An Opportunity I’ve previously seen in Explorer is no longer there. Can I get it back?

It may be that you have previously dismissed this Opportunity. Reset your cards by clicking ‘Try resetting your Explorer cards’ at the bottom of the page. This will bring back your recently dismissed Opportunity cards.
