🏅 Badges

The Badge System

At LinkORB we are using the Badge System to describe the skill-sets, knowledge and other qualification criteria required to fullfill roles. Badges describe clear qualification criteria, and the resources (links, videos, books, etc) you need to earn them.

We love learning and support team members in developing their skills in new areas. Badges help you to discover learning paths, and grow into new roles.

Collect them all!

Badge types

There are 3 types of badges you can earn:

  • LinkORB Foundational: These are the 5 common badges that every team member will aquire and maintain: Communication, Effectiveness, Learning, Quality, Security, Teamwork. Once you have earned these badges, you will earn the Foundation badge
  • 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 recognize 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.
