Tell HN: AngelList told my employer that I'd updated my profile
Hi there,<p>I’m Dave and I work at AngelList on our Talent platform. Please accept our sincere apologies for what happened here.<p>Sending an email without giving you a heads-up or control over its content was wrong. Here’s what we’re doing to fix it:<p>* We’ve made it clearer that tagging a company on a project may notify them by email.<p>* We’ve revised the project tagging email to clarify that it’s automatically generated by AngelList.<p>* We’re looking through all emails we send on behalf of our users to make sure that a) it’s clear when an action may generate an email notification, and b) any automatically generated notifications come directly from AngelList.<p>As long as you keep your profile up-to-date by tagging your current and previous employers, we won&#x27;t show them you’re looking for a job— they won’t see your name or resume appear when using our recruiting tools.<p>Again, please accept our apologies. We’re working to make this better. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns -- dave@angel.co.<p>Thanks,
dave
