# Badge

> Badge is an AI agent that assembles social proof for job seekers by gathering reviews from the people who have actually worked with you. Instead of a resume full of self-reported claims, it collects peer feedback from your network and turns it into a proof-of-work portfolio that a hiring manager can weigh. The idea addresses a real weakness in hiring: resumes are easy to embellish and references are slow to chase down. By automating the collection of peer reviews, Badge aims to make the verification step faster for recruiters and more honest for candidates, surfacing what colleagues genuinely think rather than what a polished bullet point implies. There are open questions, of course, about how you keep peer reviews candid rather than mutually flattering, and about who gets to see them. But as AI-written resumes and cover letters flood the market and make traditional signals noisier, tools that lean on verified human vouching may become a more trusted currency for proving you can actually do the work.
