GC Score
One identity, three layers
The GC Score is deliberately NOT a single opaque number. It is three distinct layers, shown separately to you and to employers — each one answering a different question about your career.
Why three layers?
A single score hides more than it reveals: it can't distinguish a polished resume from proven skill, or past achievement from current momentum. So we separate the signal:
| Layer | Answers | How it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Career Profile Score (0–1000) | Where does my profile stand today? | Recalculates when you update your profile or resume. |
| XP (no cap) | Am I actually doing the work? | Earned per real platform action; 6-month rolling window keeps it current. |
| Badges | Which skills are proven? | Earned by passing assessments, completing courses, shipping projects. |
Honest by design
- The Career Profile Score carries a transparent disclaimer: skills from your resume are self-reported unless marked verified.
- XP cannot be bought or faked — every point maps to a logged platform action.
- Verified skills show a clear verified mark on your public profile; self-reported skills are visibly unverified.
Deep dives
Each layer has its own page: Career Profile Score, XP, Badges & verification — and What employers see shows how it all appears from the other side.
