FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can ContactGraph replace LinkedIn entirely?
- ContactGraph replaces the job-search and networking part of LinkedIn — finding who you know at a company and surfacing relevant openings. It doesn't replace LinkedIn's social feed or recruiter tools.
- Do I need to delete my LinkedIn account?
- No. ContactGraph works alongside LinkedIn. You export your LinkedIn connections once, and ContactGraph merges them with your phone contacts into a single searchable graph.
- How does ContactGraph find job listings?
- ContactGraph aggregates open roles from across the web and matches them to companies where you already have a contact — so every listing comes with a warm path in.
- Is my contact data safe?
- Yes. ContactGraph is open source, nonprofit, and never sells or shares your data. You can export or delete everything at any time.
