Badge vs Workable

A platform that helps professionals build their trust score by collecting anonymous peer reviews from colleagues they have worked with. The reviews are collected by AI agents and turned into a proof of work that recruiters trust.

Workable is a talent management platform combining applicant tracking, recruiting automation, and core HR functions in one system. Its AI agent continuously searches a database of over 400 million candidate profiles, sends personalized outreach, and screens applicants through conversational gap-filling, then ranks and auto-advances strong fits with transparent reasoning. Beyond hiring, Workable includes an HR information system covering onboarding, time-off management, performance reviews, and employee records, and distributes job postings to more than 200 job boards and social platforms simultaneously. It is used by tens of thousands of companies to run both recruiting and day-to-day HR operations from a single platform.
