Nothing here is scored

Offer candidates a free way to learn.

Choose the credentials you value for a role. New applicants get one email with free courses for each one and a page to share badges they already hold. Taking part is optional.

What they share, and when, goes on the application. Nothing is verified, and nothing is scored.

What the candidate opens

Free courses first. The share form second.

The page lists free courses first, then a field for a badge link or certificate. Candidates can choose “No thanks” without giving a reason. Sharing or declining does not change their application.

How it works in Kit

One invitation. The candidate chooses the rest.

  1. Recommend a credential

    Select a credential on the job posting form and save. Recommendations are off by default.

  2. They get one email

    New applicants receive an email in the posting’s language, with your branding. No reminders or resends; the share link stays open for 30 days.

  3. They decide

    Candidates can take a course, share a badge link from a supported host, upload a certificate, or decline. You only see what they share.

Available credentials

9 credentials available. We maintain the course lists, and every listed course is free.

Free ways to earn it

Why it works this way

Useful even if they do not get the job.

Recommending a credential gives candidates a way to learn something you value. It stays optional, with no score and no reminder.

A candidate can take a free course, share a badge they already hold, or ignore the invitation. None of these changes their application.

How Kit handles credentials

No scores, rankings, or automatic stage changes.

You see what candidates share. Assessing it stays with you.

No credential scores

Credentials get no points, percentages, or ratings.

No ranking or filtering

Sharing a badge does not change a candidate’s place in the applications list.

No claim of verification

Badge links are not opened and certificates are not read. Shared credentials are labeled “Sent by the candidate, unverified.”

Declines stay private

You won't see whether a candidate ignored or declined the invitation.

What comes back

See the badge or certificate they shared.

Shared credentials appear on the application with the date received. Badge links show the host and full URL before you open them. Certificates appear as downloadable attachments. The applications list marks candidates who shared something.

“Sent by the candidate, unverified. Nothing here is scored, ranked, or filtered.”
The note Kit prints above the section, in the product.

Before you recommend a credential.

Which credentials can I recommend?

9 credentials are available today. We maintain the lists of free courses. To request another credential, email [email protected].

What about people who already applied?

They are not emailed. Only applications that arrive after you save the posting get the invite.

How many emails does a candidate get?

One. No reminders or resends. The link to share evidence stays open for 30 days.

Can I sort or filter candidates by this?

No. Credentials are never used to sort, score, or exclude candidates.

Does Kit check that the badge is genuine?

No. Links are accepted from supported hosts, including Credly, Kaggle, and LinkedIn. The supported hosts depend on the credential. You see the host, with misleading link formatting stripped. You must check the badge or certificate yourself.

Will I know if a candidate declines?

No. You won't see who ignored or declined the invitation, only the credentials they chose to share.

Does it cost extra?

No. Recommended credentials are part of hiring, included in every seat.
