Your WorkScore is your performance record. It's built from the people who actually worked with you, and it's yours to take from role to role. The most effective way to grow it is also the most straightforward: ask the right people to rate you.
Request ratings from your Coworkers page
Your verified coworker network is already on your Coworkers page. Browse it, search by name, or filter by company to find the colleagues you want to hear from. Focus on people you worked closely with: on the same team, on shared projects, in regular collaboration. Quality matters more than quantity.
Tap a coworker's card, open the Request tab, and send it through LinkedIn, WorkScore, or both. See How do I request a rating? for the details.
Invite coworkers who aren't on WorkScore
Use the Invite button at the top of the page to get your personal link and send it however you naturally reach them. Once they join and their work history is verified, if they recognize you it will count toward your score.
Track your progress
Your Coworkers page tracks the requests you've sent, toward a goal of 20, and the ratings you've received. At 5 ratings received, plus 5 coworkers recognized, you can share your WorkScore. At 10 ratings received, your score reaches the Highly credible milestone. Your My WorkScore page shows the same ratings track.
You won't know if a coworker rates you
However you send a request, you won't be notified if or when that coworker rates you. This is by design. Anonymity works both ways. It protects the rater's honesty and keeps the process free from any social pressure to reciprocate.
Be patient
Ratings accumulate over time. A WorkScore built steadily from genuine professional relationships is more durable, and more credible, than one built quickly through volume.
Once your score is where you want it, sharing it is just as straightforward. See How do I share my WorkScore?
