The problem ProfNet : Apply, Employ, or Own solves
Traditional platforms like LinkedIn have amassed massive profits by capitalizing on your professional data, all while leaving you with limited control and compensation. Additionally, existing networks often perpetuate identity biases and nepotism, creating an uneven playing field in the job market. This disparity raises concerns about data ownership, fairness, and transparency. Even if we consider these in marginal aspects, there is no way in this economy to enforce employers with the practice to vet thousands of applications they receive for a single job opening, which as much is frustrating to the employer, is equally if not less frustrating for the applicant to not hear back or not receive the feedback to improve.
ProfNet empowers you with true data ownership. You decide who accesses your encrypted contact information, and you are fairly compensated whenever the contact or any personal information is accessed. When someone purchases your encrypted data, you receive the transaction proceeds, putting you in control of your worth. Best part of all, you dont even need to trust us to have that data control, we would store your data with you and only be accessed the payer party once requested. Our innovative system guarantees a transparent, merit-based process for job applications, eliminating favoritism and promoting equal opportunities for all.
Challenges I ran into
Not being a core developer, developing the dapp by myself in just a few last days has been bit of a challenge. Would expect protocols to improve how they explain architecture, data flows and dependencies much more clearly, understanding them has been a challenge.
ProfNet stands as more than just another network; it's a paradigm shift towards data empowerment, a fair landscape, and a level playing field within the professional realm. Beyond its role in this hackathon, ProfNet is a project committed to continuous enhancement. If you share the vision and wish to contribute in any capacity, don't hesitate to reach out. Join us on this transformative journey as we redefine the way professionals connect, apply, and flourish in an environment founded on genuine equity.
