Honest, unbiased, detailed professional feedback to and from
your colleagues – that's the idea behind Coworkers.com. And that's why we've
built a simple and effective site for you to give reviews and comments to your
coworkers and to receive the same in return. The result is professional
insight from throughout your career. This insight can help you improve your
work skills, and it makes Coworkers.com a valuable source for finding
evaluations of potential employees, employers and other business associates.
Coworkers.com was started in 2006 by a small team of
Internet entrepreneurs who saw a clear need for a standardized repository of
professional peer review. To date, we have bootstrapped from a simple idea to
a full-featured site, and we intend to continue our organic growth, remaining
focused on usability and the value of the experience we provide our users. We
are presently in Beta mode as we improve and extend the site's functionality
and features.
Website Description
Coworkers.com is a central repository for you to give and
receive reviews, testimonials and other professional feedback from throughout
your career. You can provide praise where deserved, relay criticism where
warranted and receive the same from your fellow workers.
Our detailed Scorecard rating system lets you enter scores
for a coworker in 20 areas, broken down into 4 categories – Core Values,
Competence, Interpersonal, and Productivity – while the comment area and tag
system let you give free-form context to your feedback. Reviews about you
become part of your Profile, which you can expand with additional details about
yourself and your professional background and experience. You are also able to
view and manage the reviews that you have received as well as written.
In addition to Coworkers.com's core functionality of
professional peer review, we provide an engaging experience with social
networking features that let you interact with others, find people who share
common work interests or have valuable skills to offer, or possibly even get a new
job. Our Groups feature lets you keep track of others' review and profile
activity on the site. Our Blog and Forum sections let you share and discuss
your work-related thoughts and experiences with others.
Finally, we offer an ever-growing set of tools, such as
embeddable "badge" widgets, which allow you to display your coworker feedback on
your own websites and blogs; and Zingers, which let you send instant feedback
to friends and colleagues, without creating full-blown reviews.
Given that parts of Coworkers.com allow content to be posted
anonymously, we recognize the need to counteract the potential for abuse. To
that end, we have taken extensive measures to ensure data integrity and
safeguard people's privacy. The "rules of the road" for using the site are
fair and transparent, and we moderate all public content.

Why It Makes Sense
The time has come for Coworkers.com. By providing a safe,
structured, and fair system to give and receive coworker reviews, we act as a
trusted third party in facilitating workplace communications. The benefit
of this is twofold: the reviewer is able to provide
constructive criticism to coworkers, letting them know what they are
doing well, or not so well. The recipient of a review is able to use
the feedback he or she receives to gain self awareness and improve his or her
workplace skills and persona. And a natural byproduct of our system is that
employers can use Coworkers.com to scout for great employees, or to look for
red flags before hiring someone. So, we are providing true value to all
parties concerned - the reviewer gets an opportunity to provide feedback, the
coworker gets meaningful insight, and the employer gets a wealth of
information.
We are the only site in our space that is solely focused on
work reputations as they relate to best-practices in workplace performance
evaluation. In contrast to the multitude of one-dimensional rating sites that
have emerged in recent years, Coworkers.com provides an unmatched level of
depth in the information that it houses. By providing our entry-level service for
free and available to anyone on the Internet, we are leveling the playing field
in the area of employee performance management, especially for small to medium
sized businesses.
