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.
What makes a Badge Trust Score more valuable than traditional LinkedIn recommendations?
Badge
@robert_dimla LinkedIn has recommendations, Badge has anonymous reviews. Recommendatins are public, you hand pick people whom you want recommendatins from. Badge takes your phonebook find colleagues and AI agents ask them to give anonymous reviews for you. Badge has more honest data which resembles proof of work
Badge
@robert_dimla Badge's AI agent works independently. It pulls data from your contacts to identify people you've actually worked with and reaches out to them for a review. This means the candidate has no control over who gets asked.This is what makes Badge reviews fundamentally different from LinkedIn recommendations, where you choose who endorses you and they choose what to say publicly, hence its more trustworthy.
Congrats for you! Curious to see how you keep the generated badge concise without losing the context behind the review.
Badge
@crystalmei Thats a good question Xufei, we have to manage both - not losing the context and also build the trustscore. so we have one this by having dimensions, underneath the platform we have contexual trustscores - which are then aggregated into one master trustscore - one for skill, one for interpersonal skills, and so on. This is how we are balancing the context and a generic trustscore

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
Badge
@sundar_balamurugan Sundar everytime you give a review your own trustscore increases and your recruiter visibility increases. Trustscore is the currency of the platform
Does the score ever drop, or is it purely cumulative and always trending upwards as reviews pile in?
Badge
@bradley_simon The score does definitely drop based on the reviews given. Let's say you do not perform well for quite a few projects now that reviews do get reflected on your trust score. However the good thing is that overtime you can always make up for the score lost by simply performing well.
