LinkedIn permwall. No thanks. Flagged.
I'm not interested in registering, but looking at the sign-up page, it seems signing in with LinkedIn is optional, is it not?
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 they are trying to review.
As you mention someone could scam that of course. We're working on ways to get even better data (i.e. real current employees).
This is our MVP and we wanted to get people scoring companies as frictionless as possible.
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 email - hence keeping it 100% anon.
We're working on it!

I have an ideological issue with LinkedIn. It made some people I like a boatload of money, so I like it on that front, but I also feel like the modern trend of oversharing one's economic relationships is really dangerous, so I prefer to keep my career history semi-private. I'm not ashamed of anything (except one shitball startup where I worked for 3 months and that I don't include on my resume) but I prefer to conserve information in a game (private-sector self-preservation and advancement) that is more adversarial than it is socially acceptable to admit.
