Feature - Progress Hub
XP, badges, challenges, duels, and training surfaces for eligible talent plans.
Progress Hub
Progress Hub consolidates the player-side progression experience into one place. Instead of splitting badges, challenges, training, and leaderboards across multiple routes, the current product brings them together under /dashboard/progress for eligible talent accounts.
Access model
- Visible today for Pro, Elite, and legacy talent access.
- Hidden on free and Starter plans.
- Guardian-managed billing still unlocks access when the guardian is the billing owner of an eligible plan.
- Under-18 visibility still depends on guardian setup; progression access is separate from recruiter visibility.

Rankings
The Rankings tab exists in the product, but it is still a staged rollout surface. It currently communicates the upcoming competitive mode rather than acting as a full live leaderboard experience.
How it connects to the main dashboard
The unified talent dashboard is now the front door to progression:
- The onboarding strip and next-action banner explain what to do next.
- The gamification nudge strip links straight into relevant Progress Hub tabs.
- Actionable recommendations and profile coaching sit alongside progression instead of replacing it.
Reward model in the current product
- XP comes from validated activity, streaks, and challenge/training participation.
- Badges are criteria-driven and awarded automatically when their conditions are met.
- Challenges and duels surface inside Arena.
- Training feeds the structured work that keeps the hub active over time.
Progress Hub is designed to make player effort visible and actionable. It is not a replacement for profile quality, video quality, or recruiter judgement.
What Progress Hub is not
- Not an automated recruiter ranking engine.
- Not a promise that recruiter search order is driven by XP alone.
- Not a fully live competitive leaderboard yet.
Progress is live. Fully competitive rankings are still rolling out deliberately.
