The graphics community has started an interesting initiative at this end: http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/

After a paper has been accepted, authors can submit a repository containing a script which automatically replicates results shown in the paper. After a reviewer confirms that the results were indeed replicable, the paper gets a small badge next to its title.

While there could certainly be improvements, I think it's a step in the right direction.

But does this badge influence the scientific profile / resume of the researcher in any way?

You can always put "certified by the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative" next to each paper on your CV. It might influence people a little, even if it isn't part of the formal review for employment / promotion. Although "Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative" does not sound very impressive. And Federal grant applications have rules about what can be included in your profile.

Informal reputation does matter though. If you want to get things done and not just get promoted, you need the cooperation of people with a similar mindset, and collaboration is entirely voluntary.
