With unemployment numbers at record highs, millions of people around the world are embarking on the daunting task of job hunting – which is even more challenging for both candidates and recruiters in today’s world of remote work.

Let’s face it – finding the right person for the right job is hard enough, but verifying their credentials to finalize the hire can be a nightmare. Personal references can often be unreachable or unresponsive, past roles may be unverifiable due to the companies being defunct or acquired, and credentials from other countries are incredibly hard to validate. It makes it difficult for both the employer to make a hire and candidates to land the job.

This is where blockchain technology can make a huge difference – in essence, acting as a trusted source of truth for employers and delivering a greater sense of data security for employees’ records.
