Abstract

:  Recruitment of the right person for the right position is an enormous task and the core functionality of the Human Resource department. It is a procedure that encompasses identifying, attracting, screening, shortlisting, interviewing, selecting, recruiting, and onboarding. Many organizations outsource their hiring requirements, while others rely exclusively on ads, job boards, and social media platforms to recruit new positions with qualified candidates. The employee background check on performance and attitude is equally important before absorbing into the current Organization. There is an uncertainty for the recruiter as they are unaware of the candidate’s current employment status. The candidate's efficiency can be measured from his/her certificates, their experience and performance in previous companies. These certifications and proof of experience can be manipulated, and fake credentials can be presented to the recruiter. This can be avoided through an authorized system maintaining the repository and updating the credentials of a candidate. BlockChain technology provides a reliable option for an authorized repository. The content in a block has a series of authorized miners before a change can be implemented, which is a secured procedure to keep the data intact. The permission to add specific user’s academic and experience certificates would be given to authorized institutions and organizations so that scope for creating fake certificates by user is reduced and, in our application, the hiring organization can view users all certificates uploaded by different organizations and institutions during the interview process so additional time required for employee background check is reduced. This paper reviews the existing methodologies and proposes the design of a Blockchain Network, to facilitate the candidate verification and validity of information for the recruiters. The candidate can avoid carrying copies of credentials every time facing an interview board.
