This is between a reference check and a 360 review, expect it's portable across companies instead of stuck inside one org's HR system. That portability is the real unlock.

@nora_mitchell Exactly! This way the candidate also has an idea of what needs to be done bettwe or continue with what they are doing well already.
Badge
@nora_mitchell absolutely! We understant that 360 reviews are stuck within the company and its just such precious data going to waste. Badge is looking to use reviews to benefit both job seekers and recruiters!
Tried it on my own profile and was surprised how easy it was to nudge old coworkers into leaving real feedback. The trust score concept feels like something LinkedIn should have built years ago.

@alya6vnc Yes the only problem this was not possible before because of toxicity and abuse which is only possible today in the AI age when agents can understand language. But i agree LinkedIN could have built this.
Badge
@alya6vnc Yes. Finally no more filling out hundreds of applications! Badge makes hiring trustable and reliable.
@lokesh_motwani1 I'm curious about protability , if someone changes industires or has an uncoventional career path , does thier Badge score adapt to different hiring contexts, or is it intended to be a universal trust signal?

@james_anderson77 I agree with you, if they change skills, then some context will definetly will not work out but a lot of interpersonal and personality attributes will still matter in the new industry.
Connected my LinkedIn and got three anonymous reviews back within a day, way faster than I expected. The trust score idea is genuinely useful since most references I've collected feel one-sided or overly polished.

@aseltenhova Thanks for trying the app out!!
The anonymous peer review angle is genuinely smart, since most reference checks today are basically theater. Love that the agent handles the outreach itself instead of leaving that awkward task to the candidate.

@muharremksgcpe That was the first thing we wanted to tackle while trying to solve this problem. Did you get to try the app yet?
Verification through work email is the strength here, but it's also the weakness for freelance and contractors who don't have that kind of org access to lean on.
Badge
@hazel_brooks I agree with you here. In future we will APIs integrated with freelance platforms. The idea is to be present where the actual work is happening, slack, upwork, etc. We are working on the partnerships!
Just switched jobs recently, would love this more if it showed score history over time instead of only a current number.
