Badges on a worker profile highlight important information that can help you understand more about the worker at a glance. They can make it easier to review profiles and compare workers when deciding who may be the right fit.
Why badges are helpful
Choosing a worker is about more than availability.
Badges can help you spot useful information quickly when you are comparing profiles. They can give you more confidence about a worker’s background and help you narrow down which profiles you want to look at more closely.
What kinds of badges might I see?
Depending on the worker, you may see badges linked to:
- checks
- training
- qualifications
Examples can include:
- Working With Children Check
- first aid
- CPR
What a badge does mean
A badge is a quick visual signal that a worker has that check, qualification or training available on their profile.
It helps you understand some of the worker’s background at a glance, without needing to search through the whole profile first.
What a badge does not mean
A badge is helpful, but it is not the whole picture.
It is still worth looking at:
- the worker’s experience
- reviews from other clients
- their profile information
- whether they feel like the right fit for the type of support you need
The strongest choice usually comes from looking at the full profile, not just one badge.
How to use badges when comparing workers
Badges work best as a starting point.
They can help you shortlist workers more quickly, especially if certain checks or training matter to you. From there, it helps to read the full profile and think about how well the worker’s experience, communication style and availability match your needs.
