A product's shape is defined as much by what it refuses to be. Reading these out loud has saved us more than one bad feature.
Jobs may surface — but we don't index listings, broker postings, or charge for placement. The product is identity. Opportunities follow good profiles, not the other way around.
No endorsement spam, no connection-count vanity metrics, no public follower lists, no curated congratulations on five-year anniversaries. The network exists; we just don't display it as a leaderboard.
Venues find talent through clean, structured search — not by uploading a job description and waiting for keyword-matched submissions. The candidate stays in control of how they're reached.
Hospitality workers already get enough notifications. Outsiders reach members through a one-shot relay form — privacy-aware, ignorable, never an obligation.
There's no main feed. Members can post light professional updates — new role, certification, guest shift — but these are signals, not posts.
Membership exists to keep the bar high, not to make members feel special. Every member is verified; that's the value.
The public graph is curated from public sources, shows professional facts only, and stores no contact details. Anyone can claim, correct, or remove their own entry — no arguments. Member-submitted connections appear publicly only when both people consent.
Where you trained, who you worked beside, which rooms formed you, and who can vouch for it. A CV records employment — Guild records formation. LinkedIn shows where you worked; Guild shows where you come from.
Simplify. Reduce chrome. Increase whitespace. The profile is the product — anything that pulls attention from it earns its place twice.
