Why We Exist
Pay and performance are inextricably linked.
I’ve spent the first 25 years of my career trying to solve problems on the pay side of that equation.
For decades, companies held the data and the control. Employee pay decisions were opaque—a kind of “dark art.”
Opacity breeds suspicion.
Information creates understanding.
We believed better information could create better conversations between companies and their people. That compensation could become more transparent, understandable, empowering, and human.
So we built a company called PayFactors to help change it.
Now we believe performance is readyfor its own transformation.
Your performance influences your pay, promotions, opportunities, career trajectory, and ultimately your lifetime earnings. It may be one of the most economically valuable assets you create during your career.
Yet the evidence of that performance is fragmented across employers, managers, colleagues, reviews, and HR systems—and almost none of it travels with you.
You did the work.
Why shouldn’t you own the record?
That question matters even more now.
AI can write your resume, optimize your LinkedIn profile, tailor your experience to a job, and prepare you for an interview. Everyone can look exceptional on paper.
AI can manufacture the presentation.
It can’t manufacture a career of great performance.
That’s why we’re building WorkScore.
Not another resume.
Not another social network.
Not another place to tell the world how great you are.
A performance record that belongs to you.
Built from anonymous feedback from people who actually know your work—the people who worked beside you, for you, and above you.
You own it. You don’t write it.
Use it to better understand yourself. Bring independent data into a performance review. Put it on your LinkedIn profile or resume. Use it to differentiate yourself when opportunity comes.
Because a resume tells employers where you’ve been.
An interview tells them how you present yourself.
References tell them what a few selected people are willing to say.
The resume describes you.
WorkScore proves you.
And you don’t need to be looking for a job to start building it. Your performance record should grow throughout your career—becoming more valuable as you do.
The principle behind WorkScore is simple:
You created the value.
You earned the reputation.
You should own the record.
Own your performance record.
