Be seen for how you show up.
CME won't tell people you're trustworthy. Your actions will. How you communicate, follow through, contribute, and participate builds trust over time. Trust is earned through behaviour, not claimed in a profile.
What CME Measures
- Response time to candidates
- Interview follow-through
- Commitments kept
- Communication consistency
- Community participation
- Verified professional conduct
- Patterns over time
What CME Does Not Measure
- Gossip or anonymous accusations
- Private life behaviour
- Popularity or social following
- Subjective character judgments
- A single isolated mistake
- Unverified external claims
- Protected characteristics
How It Works
Everyone starts at 50. Positive actions earn badges (permanent). Breaking commitments costs points (recoverable). Capped at 100 display — beyond that, you earn reputation stars.
Principles
Patterns matter
One mistake won't define you. Repeated behaviour does.
New ≠ low trust
New accounts start at "Building Trust" — absence of history is not a penalty.
Always recoverable
Consistent good behaviour repairs past penalties. No permanent damage.
Trust can't be purchased
Money buys advertising. It does not buy trust. Ever.
Both sides accountable
Employers and jobseekers are measured equally.
Trust earns visibility
Higher trust = higher ranking in search, matching, and discovery.
The Trust Loop
What Trust Affects
When two results are equally relevant, trust is the tiebreaker. It never overrides relevance.
Your trust is yours to build.
