Performance Badges
Performance Badges celebrate the recruiters who did the most on key recruiting activities last month. Each month HiringCenter awards one winner per badge, such as The Closer for the most hires or Dialed In for the most outbound calls.
Path: profile menu → Performance Badges
Everyone with a HiringCenter login can open the page. There is nothing to set up.
What you see
- Month picker (upper right) — the newest completed month opens first. Pick an earlier month to see its winners.
- Badge cards — each card shows the badge name, what it measures, the winner's name, and the winning result (for example
42 callsor38% response rate). Your own win is marked (you). - Unclaimed — nobody qualified for that badge that month.
Winners are the highest performers across HiringCenter, not just inside your account. Your activity is added up across every account you belong to.
If the page says No badges yet, the first full month has not been rolled up. Winners appear only after a month ends.
The badges
| Badge | How it is earned |
|---|---|
| The Closer | Most hires (counted on the hire date) |
| Dialed In | Most outbound calls |
| Inbox Hero | Most texts and emails sent |
| Prospect Pioneer | Most new prospects you own that got a text, email, or call during the month (from anyone) |
| Meeting Maker | Most meetings scheduled |
| Hot Streak | Longest run of consecutive days with at least 20 active minutes. Every calendar day counts, weekends included, and the streak restarts on the 1st |
| Power User | Most active minutes in HiringCenter |
| Organizer | Most stage updates. A prospect's starting stage (when it was imported or created) does not count |
| Task Crusher | Most tasks completed |
| Note Taker | Most notes recorded |
| Rookie of the Month | Most active minutes among people who joined HiringCenter that month or the month before |
| On a Roll | Biggest percentage increase in texts, emails, and outbound calls compared with your previous month. You need at least 10 of those the month before |
| Answer Machine | Highest share of outbound calls that were answered (minimum 20 calls) |
| Connector | Best rate of meetings scheduled from new conversations (minimum 50 conversations) |
| Efficiency Ace | Highest share of your new prospects you booked a meeting with that month (minimum 20 new prospects) |
| Conversation Starter | Best response rate on new conversations you started (minimum 50 conversations). A conversation counts when the first outbound text, email, or call came from you (or HiringCenter AI) and the prospect replied or a later call connected |
Rules that decide winners
- Three badges at most. One person can win up to three badges in a month. Badges are awarded in the order listed above, so if you already hold three, the next badge goes to the runner-up.
- Minimums matter. Rate badges (Answer Machine, Connector, Efficiency Ace, Conversation Starter) need the minimum volume shown, so a single lucky call can't win.
- Ties are broken by the larger underlying count, then by overall activity.
- Who is left out: HiringCenter AI, disabled users, and HiringCenter staff are never ranked.
Where your badges show up
When you win, your badges appear:
- As small trophy emojis next to your avatar in the top bar (or under your name in the sidebar)
- As chips on Your Profile
Hover or tap a badge to see what it is for and the result you earned it with. Badges from an older month disappear once the next month is awarded.
On the 1st of each month, active users also get an email announcing the previous month's winners.
Tips and FAQ
Why didn't I win even though I had the most calls? You may already hold three badges that month, or another badge earlier in the list went to you first. Check the other cards.
Why is a rate badge unclaimed? Nobody met the minimum, for example 20 outbound calls for Answer Machine.
Do texts I log by hand count? Yes. A text or email you log manually counts like a send.
Is there a live leaderboard? No. Public rankings are turned off. The page shows only each month's winners.
