Curious how it handles the awkward part where old coworkers ignore the request, does the trust score just tank or does it factor in response rates somehow?

@etinbyksantbfr Traditional professional recommendations and proof-of-work systems are typically hand-picked and highly filtered, often resulting in generic praise that reflects popularity rather than true performance.
Badge changes this by creating a system built on anonymous, structured feedback from verified work relationships. Instead of open-ended compliments, it uses targeted questions to measure how you actually work, aggregating these insights into a quantified Trust Score. While standard recommendations show that a professional is liked, Badge provides recruiters with a clear, verified measure of how well they actually did their job.
Connected my LinkedIn and got three reviews back within a day, all from people I hadn't talked to in years. The trust score concept feels actually useful instead of gimmicky.

@gzdenlolur0qr THanks for trying out the app. Do you have any feature requests?
Loved how it pulls in reviews straight from past coworkers without me chasing anyone down, and the trust score actually feels like something I'd show a hiring manager. Wish the LinkedIn connect step was a bit smoother, but overall a solid take on verifiable work history.

@berkeuw1e Berke could you please elaborate on the LinkedIn connect step and what;s the issue there?
tested it with two former coworkers and the review requests actually came through without me chasing anyone. the trust score feels more honest than a linkedin recommendation section that everyone knows is fluff.

@polat9pom thanks for the feedback
love how it pulls real coworker feedback instead of relying on polished LinkedIn recs, feels like the trust score actually means something because it's built from people who've worked with you directly.

@zkan329792 Yes absolutely! Badge is built around the real proof of work concept. It's like a credit score, but for professionals. Neat right!

@zkan329792 Hey Ozkan, Did you get the chance to try the app, do you have any feature requests?
Badge
@zkan329792 That's precisely how we wanted to position ourselves in order to stand apart.
Love how the agent handles the awkward part, reaching out to old coworkers for reviews so candidates don't have to chase anyone down. That anonymity angle is what makes the whole trust score feel real instead of curated.

@hatuneskiauevt Absolutlely! Traditional professional recommendations and proof-of-work systems are typically hand-picked and highly filtered, often resulting in generic praise that reflects popularity rather than true performance.

Are you usually a recruiter or a job seeker?
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.
