LinkORB Foundational
These are the 5 common badges that every team member will acquire and maintain: Communication, Effectiveness, Learning, Quality, Security, Teamwork. Once you have earned these badges, you will earn the Foundation badge.
Badges
We love learning and actively support team members upskilling and venturing into new areas. Our Badge System defines the skills and qualifications needed for each role. Each badge provides criteria and the resources to help you earn it.
Badge types
There are 3 types of badges you can earn:
Skills badges
These badges are acquired by matching all criteria listed in the badge. They are a token of mastery of a given tool, technology, language or any other soft-skill or hard-skill.
Fun badges
There's a whole range of fun badges to recognise accomplishments, first actions and winning the occasional competition.
How badges are used at LinkORB
Badges are used in the following use-cases:
Job posts
(both for longer-term roles and single gigs) refer to the badges we screen candidates for. We do not expect you to acquire all listed badges immediately, but we will guide you through the process of acquiring them, and base our selection on your ability to obtain them.
Continuous learning
is an important part of our culture. Badges contain clear learning paths for acquiring a selected new skill, and make an excellent tool for self-study and mentoring.
Onboarding
during your first days and weeks our check-in process guides you to aquiring the Foundational badges, and any badges related to your role or gig specifically.
Reviews
help team members stay on track on their learning goals. Badges are used to assess your current vs target skillsets, which we'll use as input for your learning plan.
