LinkedIn Turns AI Skills into Verifiable Profile Badges
LinkedIn is rolling out vibe coding badges that let users showcase proficiency with AI coding tools by having the toolmakers—Replit, Lovable, Descript, and Relay.app—assess and assign levels (e.g., bronze, intermediate) that appear on profiles. More integrations with GitHub and Zapier are in the works. These levels update as users gain experience, providing recruiters with a verifiable signal of tool-driven work while LinkedIn emphasizes that this isn’t meant to replace existing signals. The move comes amid a broader AI-era backdrop and concerns about layoffs.
