IMDbPro Connections and Endorsements are here

The entertainment industry runs on relationships that start on set, on stage, and with the crew in the credits. Today we're launching two new features that turn your credits into a professional network and your peers into verified references, right where the industry researches talent.

Here's what's new:

Connections Send connection requests to the professionals you've worked with, met at an industry event, or discovered on IMDbPro, whether or not you share credits. Both people agree to connect before a connection is formed, and you manage your own privacy settings throughout. Your new Connections tab brings together your pending requests, current connections, recommendations based on shared credits and mutual connections, and your privacy settings in one place.

Endorsements Once you're connected, you and your connections can vouch for each other's work. Write a reference in your own words, tag relevant credits and professions, and submit for the page owner to approve. Approved endorsements publish to their About tab, visible to anyone viewing their profile. A badge on the Name page hero section shows how many endorsements a member has received, and tagged credits show a badge with the number of endorsements that reference that credit.

You're always in control Every endorsement requires the page owner's approval before it goes live. You decide what appears on your page, and you can manage, edit, or remove connections and endorsements at any time. Your Written Endorsements page, linked from your own Connections tab, lets you track the status of every endorsement you've written in one place.

Your credits tell the story. Your connections confirm it. Get started today by visiting any IMDbPro Name page and selecting Connect.
