Career Passport
Verified badges and the Career Health score
What the verified mark actually proves, why LinkedIn shows a badge but no link, and how the Career Health score is computed without ranks or percentiles.
Updated August 7, 2026
What "verified" means here
A verified mark on your passport is only ever backed by something we checked ourselves. A URL you typed in never earns it. The four verifications:
- GitHub: verified when you signed in with GitHub. When we captured your GitHub username at sign-in, the badge links to your profile; on older accounts we show the verified mark without a link rather than guess at a URL.
- LinkedIn: verified when you signed in with LinkedIn. LinkedIn's sign-in does not share your public profile URL with us, so this badge deliberately carries no link. We will not fabricate one.
- Email: shown when your account email is verified. The badge is a boolean; the address itself is only available through click-to-reveal on a PUBLIC passport.
- Phone: shown after you verify your number with an SMS code. Same rule: the badge never exposes the number.
One honest limit: skills are not verified. The skills on your passport are content you curated, and we present them as that, not as something we checked.
The Career Health score
The Career Health score summarizes your activity across five components, each weighted:
- ATS score of your latest resume analysis: 35 percent
- Interview Coach performance (average across scored sessions): 30 percent
- Portfolio (published counts fully, a draft counts partially): 15 percent
- GitHub connected: 10 percent
- Projects on your passport (each adds points, capped): 10 percent
Two design rules keep it honest:
- Missing data is omitted, not scored zero. If you have never used the Interview Coach, that component disappears and the remaining weights are rescaled. Your score reflects what you have done, not what you have not.
- No percentiles, no ranks, no hiring probabilities. We do not know how you compare to "all candidates" and will not pretend to. Each component shows a plain-language note on exactly how it was computed, and that note is visible to anyone viewing the passport.
If you have no scoreable activity at all, there is no number, rather than a fake one.
