The problem Resume Chain solves

As you may be aware, people manipulate their resumes with false information in order to land a job. Multinational Companies are investing heavily in verifying job applicants' background information. However, the background verification process used by these companies is extremely expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient.

Do you know according to Risk Advisory Group, a risk-management firm based in London, says that of 5,500 resumes it reviewed over a six-month period, 80% contained “discrepancies,” and 12% contained false information about an applicant’s education.

Solution

As a result, a mechanism that benefits both candidates and interviews/organizations is required. So here comes our project, which assists candidates in creating their resumes and securely storing them in blockchain. Using this resume, an interviewer can learn about the user's resume updates and confirm his authenticity.

Yes, you read that correctly: authenticity. We also have another feature where organisations or educational institutions can upload their data and a student referencing this data can easily be verified with respect to the organisation.

Challenges I ran into

  • Major Challenge I faced was with dependency issues among react 18, react-scripts, react-pdf and moralis. I had to do a lot of work arounds and finally solved the issue by degrading the react and react-scipts versions after batteling 2-3hrs.
  • I am new to this blockchain environment, so it took some time to digest the technology, though I found moralis really helpful with thier youtube videos along with their service
