   Thanks again for the advice - wanted to let you know we updated the site over the weekend with better explanation of LinkedIn, an explicit privacy policy, and an alternate (albeit it a little heavy) way of asking for an account without Link

   Indeed. We toyed with Facebook login, but we really wanted the current position information, without having to do a domain (work email) verification.

   Interesting idea- we were interested in the score to start so that companies with great culture can wear it with a badge of honor. Statistically, anything above 50 is above average. 80s, and 90s would be very very good Candid scores.

   We'll be adding that shortly. LinkedIn was the 'easiest' way to do a litmus test on whether someone works as a place currently or not. Not perfect, but was a good start.

    Good point - we're thinking of reworking the main page to scroll more featured/recently scored companies.

    Very nice... We surveyed a hundred or so corporate types to settle on our 7 factors... but we do want to experiment with new questions. We also envision a responsive algorithm based on a variety of variables (i.e., questions skipped or igno

    I like that line of reasoning. I think the anonymity and peace of mind a company has NO way of tracking who visited the site would be degraded with work emails. Most US companies can and do read employee emails...Thanks for the feedback!

    "Window-shopping" is definitely a driver on the post-mvp roadmap. Geo search is an interesting idea... Thanks for the feedback!

    Thanks for the feedback. We're looking at other ways now to check if someone works at the company without requiring LinkedIn. We will repost to HN once we add a second verification feature.

    We'll add the guarantee your info won't and can't be shared. No account is Candid required, we simply use the LinkedIn API to check that the current position for that would-be reviewer has a current position at the company th

    Hey Michael, Sorry for the lack of explanation. We're adding some copy to explain why we require a linked in verification. Basically, it was of the few ways we can check where someone works without sending an email to their work emai

    Thanks for the feedback! We're adding a bit about the LinkedIn verification. For this MVP it is an easy way to check (within reason) someone actually works at a place. Sure, they may lie to linkedin, but for the MVP it was an 80&#x2

    EXCELLENT feedback - I really appreciate it. We piggy-backed LinkedIn to "build on the shoulders of giants" but agree the explanation is necessary. Thanks again!
