AI agents collect peer reviews to generate proof of work
Badge gives an AI agent that collects peer reviews to build proof of work. For job seekers - The agent connects to your contacts, requests anonymous reviews from your past colleagues, and builds a verified, portable trust score. score. For hiring managers - Badge gives you a 30 second reference checks on candidates, collecting authentic feedback from their actual coworkers to replace unreliable, AI-generated resumes and LinkedIn Recommendations.
I'm Lokesh. Over the last 15 years, I've hired hundreds of engineers and interviewed even more candidates.
One thing kept bothering me.
Resumes tell me what someone claims they did. They rarely tell me how they actually worked.
Today that's an even bigger problem because AI can generate polished resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles in minutes. Every candidate looks impressive on paper, making it harder than ever for recruiters to separate signal from noise.
At the same time, professionals have another problem.
The people who have actually worked with them know they're great, but that proof stays buried inside company 360° feedback systems, Slack messages, or forgotten performance reviews. Every new job search starts from scratch.
That's why I built Badge.
Badge uses AI agents to collect anonymous peer reviews from people you've actually worked with and turns them into a portable proof of work that recruiters can trust.
What makes Badge different?
Unlike LinkedIn recommendations...
Reviews are anonymous, so people are far more honest.
AI agents guide reviewers with targeted questions, making reviews detailed instead of generic.
Reviews are verified through work email verification (or employment verification), reducing fake or exchanged recommendations.
Every review contributes to a Trust Score that summarizes how you collaborate, communicate, and deliver, not just what skills you list on a resume.
For professionals
Instead of asking colleagues to write public recommendations, simply invite them through Badge.
In just a few minutes you can:
✅ Build a verified Trust Score ✅ Showcase real proof of work ✅ Share your Badge on your resume, LinkedIn, portfolio or email signature ✅ Grow your professional reputation over time as more verified reviews come in
For recruiters & hiring managers
Instead of relying only on resumes or spending hours doing reference checks...
You can quickly understand how someone performs in real teams.
Badge helps surface:
• Communication style • Collaboration • Ownership • Reliability • Strengths • Areas for improvement
Think of it as a much richer hiring signal before investing hours in interviews or reference calls.
