Job offers in one channel, placing portfolios and self-presentations in the second channel, and holding conversations in the third channel.

Each topic thread will have its own notification settings and it will also support the standard tools: pools, bots, pinned messages, games, and so forth.

To activate a new topic, admins should go to the Group settings section, opt for the Permissions tab, and choose people who can create new topics.
