proof of work from peer reviews is a smart angle 👏 how do you keep it from getting gamed?
The anonymous part is interesting but how does it hold up for someone from a 5 person startup? if I invite my 3 ex teammates and one review says "struggles with deadlines" I'll know exactly who wrote it. curious if there's a minimum reviewer threshold before anything shows, otherwise honest feedback in small teams feels risky for the reviewer
Congrats on the launch! One thing I didn't see addressed in the thread: since the agent needs contacts/phone book access to find reviewers, how are you handling data privacy for the people being contacted? Especially under GDPR for EU users? Do reviewers get a clear opt-out, and is their contact info retained after the review is collected?
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
interesting concept. how do employers know this is trustworthy tho...
Badge
@lucapiekarski Since reviews are anonymous Luca, employers will see honest details which they do not get anywhere. This signal will make them trust Badge.
@lokesh_motwani1 how do employers know reviews are trustworthy tho... the anonymous aspect seems like it hinders trustworthiness tbh
Badge
@lucapiekarski I think i understand, so if we show - the work relationship - manager. colleague and not the name, do you think will it help in gaining trustworthiness?
Badge
@lucapiekarski Currently users can enter their company and review anyone from that organisation. Full verification is not yet in place but is actively being built.
When someone submits a review, they are given the option to verify their work email. Once verified, a blue tick is added to their review , signalling to recruiters that this review comes from a confirmed colleague, not just someone claiming to know you. What do you think of this feature?
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

love it! it'd be interesting to see if there's a use-case for gathering testimonials for your business as well! :)

@marcin_uchacz1 A lot of companies do this for businesses. TrustPilot, etc So i think problems have been solved there to a certain extent
