WorkScore's trust model is built into the platform at every level — not bolted on as an afterthought. Several overlapping mechanisms work together to keep ratings genuine.
LinkedIn sign-in is required
Every WorkScore user must sign in with LinkedIn. This means anyone rating on the platform needs an established LinkedIn presence — raising the barrier to entry and making it significantly harder for bad actors to participate at scale.
Only verified coworkers can rate you
Ratings can only come from people whose work history overlaps with yours at the same company. You can't be rated by strangers, people outside your professional network, or anyone who hasn't shared a verified employer with you. This is the core trust mechanism of the platform.
One rating per coworker
Each verified coworker can only rate you once, regardless of how many companies you've worked at together. This prevents anyone from inflating or tanking a score through repeated submissions.
We monitor for abuse
WorkScore monitors platform activity for patterns that suggest bad faith — and reserves the right to remove ratings and restrict access for users who misuse the system.

If something doesn't feel right, use the Report a Concern button on your WorkScore page to flag it directly to our team.
