WALL STREET JOURNAL - Professionals are turning to dating apps to network and explore job opportunities. "I've definitely heard of it in passing, and my views are, where you can network, you should network," says Eliana Goldstein, a New York-based career coach who works with young professionals. She says she's going to start urging her clients to use dating apps as they search for jobs. About a quarter of Grindr's users are there to network, according to the company, from young workers to seasoned professionals. On Tinder, the community guidelines advise users to "make personal connections, not biz ones." Earlier this year, the company began removing social-media handles from bios to stop people from using the app to build their followings or sell things.
