Once you send a request, WorkScore takes it from there.
What the recipient sees
Your request appears at the top of the recipient's Coworkers page, marked Sent you a rating request, along with your message. If you sent it through WorkScore, they'll also get an email, depending on their notification settings.
From there, it's up to them. They can recognize you, skip the request, or mark that you haven't worked together, at their own pace.
Will I know if they rated me?
No, and this is intentional. Their card on your page shows Requested, and you won't be told whether your request was seen, acted on, or dismissed. Anonymity works both ways. Removing the feedback loop protects the rater's honesty and ensures ratings reflect genuine professional opinions, not social obligation.
What if I sent it through LinkedIn or copied my message?
A request sent through LinkedIn is recorded just like one sent through WorkScore, with the same anonymity. We only email your coworker if you chose WorkScore, and you can add WorkScore later from their card. A copied message isn't recorded as a request, but if the coworker recognizes you, it still counts toward your WorkScore. Either way, you'll never know if or when that happened.
Can I cancel a request I've already sent?
Once a request is sent it can't be recalled. If you sent one by mistake, the best approach is to let it be. The recipient can always skip it on their end.
