The problem it solves is the transparency issue between job applicants and companies by eliminating third parties in hiring processes. When a person applies for a job on one of these portals like LinkedIn, Indeed, etc, there is no transparency that the application is being submitted to that particular company. And even when it is, we don't know where our application stands in the queue. Also, in traditional job portal sites, there is an increased risk of data breach and user privacy is affected. We solve this problem by using the public Ethereum blockchain as the medium between the two parties and ensuring true transparency and negligible chances of a data breach. Also, in the future, we plan on including technologies like IPFS, to reduce the gas fees in our dapp.
So now, people can use our platform to look for jobs being posted in real-time directly by the companies on the chain, and also companies can get connected with the applicants directly without the involvement of any middlemen. We also plan on employing a digital asset-based verification of skills. Using this, people will no longer be able to fake their candidature and skills for getting shortlisted for jobs. We can do this by representing any skill or course certificate or even a degree as digital assets on the blockchain. Because of this, the skills and qualifications of a particular individual will always be authentic and associated with their ids.
There were a lot of bugs and hurdles while building the project.
