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.
Can candidates choose which reviewers to invite, or does Badge recommend people automatically?!

@divya_kothari1 Divya, No anyone can review anyone on Badge. But in order to build your reviews, you need to give your contactbook access to our AI agent which collects your reviews from your colleagues.
Badge
@divya_kothari1 Both! you can share your badge profile to any specific coworkers but for the most part badge also recommends your profile to your coworkers. Not just your coworkers, recruiters too! Badge sends your profile to relevant recruiters so you dont have to ever fill out 100s of applications everytime you want to get a job.
Interesting idea! How do you think Badge can help remote workers who don’t get as many opportunities to showcase their contributions?
Badge
@manish_mehta6 They can still take reviews from clients that they have worked for in case of freelancers. If not they can still take reviews from colleagues of the company they are working at, despite the remote setting. Since these reviews highlight the types of projects one has done and what contributions they have provided to the team.

@manish_mehta6 Manish,
Great question - Freelancers can start building their reputation on Badge and showcase it to their clients on different platform like fiverr, upvwork. By keeping one platform for trust signals, you can get work irrespective of the platform where you are.
Now the interesting thing is - with layoffs and all a lot of salaried individuals want to go to freelancing. when you start building your reputation at job, you can share it with your prospective clients.

Unique product! How does Badge handlesfreelancers or consultants who work with many short-term clients instead of one employer?
Badge
@roopreddy It still does work the same way wherein the freelancer/consultants can ask for a review from the client, therefore building the trust score just like any other regular candidate.
Badge
@roopreddy Thank you @Roop. Badge is a portable review system for freelancers. Clients can give review to the freelancers using LinkedIN, email or phone number.
Finally saw a tool that tackles reference checks head on instead of just another resume AI, and the anonymous peer review angle actually feels like it could work.

@sema1067799 Thank you Sema for the feedback. People who work with you have a lot of context on your work performance. The entire 360 feedback cycle in the enterprises is based on that. The only problem is that these reviews are hidden in some 360 feedback tool and recruiters do not have access to those. Badge is closing the gap there
Badge
@sema1067799 Exactly!! Did you get a chance to try the app out?
Super interesting concept. Is there an option to provide feedback publicly?
Badge
@grace_knowhow Thanks Grace. Yes, the feedback can be given publicly to anyone using LinkedIn, Email or Phone number anonymously on the app using AI agents
@lokesh_motwani1 Does how the feedback is provided (public vs anonymously) impact the Trust Score?
Badge
@grace_knowhow all the reviews are anonymous and all of them get treated the same
Badge
@grace_knowhow All review is given anonymously, It's just that the review is visbile to the public. You can not give non-anonymous feedback. Hope that clarifies your doubt.
Badge
@grace_knowhow Your feedback will be visible to other users as well. However the candidate does have the option to hide certain feedbacks if need. Although the hidden feedback will still impact your trust score.

Congrats on the launch. How do you prevent gamification?
Badge
@zahle_khan Good question!
We do work email verification and the agent probes the reviewer with specific questions. The fake reviewer will have a lot of friction to answer these concrete questions

Looks Good!
My question is why will people go to the platform and rate here instead of directly on linkedin or other platform.
Definitely nice .
Let us see and take forward .
Badge
@sundar_balamurugan Your Trust Score also builds up as you leave meaningful reviews for others. In the long run, when all your peers are on Badge with their trust scores, Badge will become the only option going forward.

@raaghav_naraayan_m_v Cool

@sundar_balamurugan Sundar everytime you give a review your own trustscore increases and your recruiter visibility increases. Trustscore is the currency of the platform
