Built a verification + ranking platform for IT certifications

Posted by Public_Ad_5097@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 5 comments

The problem: LinkedIn's certification section is self-reported. Anyone can type "CISSP" into a text field.

There's no way for a recruiter to know if it's real without manually checking each issuer's verification portal.

What I built: certscore.org imports your Credly or Accredible badges, verifies them against the issuing platforms, and ranks you on a global leaderboard.

If it can't verify, you get 0 points.

6 users across 3 countries signed up this month organically.

One has 14 verified Kubernetes + GCP certs.

Happy to answer specific questions about how verification works, why EC-Council isn't supported yet, or how we prove ownership without exposing your email.

Thank you

...yeah, this is some linkedin shit for sure.

Sounds, honestly, like it'd do nothing but foster toxic culture and recruiter spam bs in a variety of ways.

AI-powered verification

Fuckin wretch at that, mate.
