As a hiring manager, I couldn't trust resumes. My team wasted so much time on screening calls, only to find the candidates weren't a match. There was no real proof-of-work, and with AI now writing resumes, the noise is just getting worse.
As a candidate, it was just as frustrating. My past work didn't help me get better roles; it felt like I was starting over every single time because my performance signals were buried in old company HR tools that no one could see.
Really liked how it just messages your old coworkers quietly in the background and you get a trust score without having to chase anyone down yourself. Felt less awkward than asking for references directly.

@erayeepi Exactly the point! We want to make it as simple and seamless as possible, making it comfortable for all parties involved.
The work-email verification anchor is the right call — keeps reviewers accountable without exposing them to politics. Curious: how do you handle the case where all of someone's reviewers come from a single employer? Does the trust score surface any signal about review-pool diversity?

@sabber_ahamed Not currently Sabeer but how would that matter. Could you please elaborate a bit more on this
The agent actually reached out to my old coworkers and came back with surprisingly thoughtful, honest reviews i never would have asked for myself. The trust score feels way more useful than another polished resume.

@erhankoalafnk9 Glad you like it!! Do let us know about any other additional features you would like for us to add in the future.
Finally a reference tool that pulls from real coworkers instead of just glowing LinkedIn blurbs, the anonymity part actually makes me want to leave honest feedback.

@bukete48y glad you liked Badge! Have you had time to build your trust score yet or is it 60 for now ?
Badge
@bukete48y Whom are you leaving the feedback for?
finally tried badge and the anonymous review flow is surprisingly smooth, way less awkward than chasing down old coworkers myself.

@nehirt3na Thanks Nehir. We had to build a proof of work which builds itself for professionals and we did not want users to chase people for reviews. AI agents today enable this today which was not possible before AI
Badge
@nehirt3na Yes absolutely! old coworkers, current employers, recruiters. No chasing involved. We were tired too. Hence, we built Badge!
Congrats Lokesh. I like that the AI guides reviewers instead of collecting one-line testimonials that don't say much.

@ranjan_kumar45 Yes, We do this because writing long reviews are cumbersome. I have worked as the EM and we saw that during the 360 feedback (annual), people used one liners. We understood that giving review is cumbersome and AI can do this for us. AI agents are the enabler for Badge
Finally, a way to get honest references without chasing down old coworkers myself. The trust score concept is genuinely useful, and I like that the reviews stay anonymous but verified.

@ayazkabasadqhc Yes that's where the AI agent comes into the picture, it takes the burden to do the follow ups
