Badge
An app that has an AI agent quietly ask your former coworkers what it's really like to work with you, then turns their honest answers into a trust score you can put on your resume.

Description
Anyone can write "team player" or "strong communicator" on a resume, and hiring managers know it — which is why reference checks exist, even though they're usually a slow, awkward phone call that happens right before an offer. Badge automates that whole process: an AI agent reaches out to people you've actually worked with, asks them targeted questions anonymously so they can be honest, verifies they really worked with you, and rolls all of it into a single Trust Score you can share on your resume, LinkedIn, or email signature.
Badge is built for two sides of the hiring process. For job seekers, it connects to your professional contacts, sends anonymous review requests via channels like WhatsApp, verifies each reviewer actually overlapped with you at work, and produces a portable, shareable trust badge. For hiring managers and recruiters — the site names companies like Stripe, Notion, Uber, Airbnb, and Atlassian as users — it offers 30-second reference checks and a discovery platform to find candidates ranked by Trust Score. Reviews are anonymous to encourage candor, verified through work-email confirmation to cut down on fake endorsements, and reviewers get AI-guided prompts designed to produce specific, useful feedback rather than generic praise. No pricing is published on the site.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're job hunting and want something more credible than "references available on request," Badge turns real colleague feedback into a portable trust signal — the value depends entirely on whether recruiters in your field actually recognize and trust it yet.
The mechanics are sound on paper: anonymity should get more honest answers than a reference call where the reviewer knows you're listening, and work-email verification is a reasonable check against someone just asking friends to vouch for them. The company's claimed roster of recruiters at Stripe, Notion, Uber, and similar names suggests real traction, though that's a company claim rather than something independently verifiable from outside. The bigger open question for any new trust-signal product is adoption: a badge is only as valuable as the number of hiring managers who already know what it means when they see it, and as an early-stage product that's still being built. Pricing being completely unpublished is also a yellow flag for a consumer-facing product — worth confirming there's no hidden cost before you invite your former colleagues into it. Good fit for job seekers, freelancers, or contractors in fast-moving tech hiring markets willing to be an early adopter; less useful if you're in an industry where formal written references still dominate.
