Welcome to the second post of our development updates for HireVibes, which we plan to publish every month or so. These posts will help us and our community to keep updated with our development progress. Feel free to ask questions below.

HV team members will share some of the most important things they have worked on, the problems they encountered, what they might work on next, and anything else interesting.

Development

Now that the EOS blockchain is live, development is in full swing. The team are putting together the components in javascript for the frontend UI and our EOS contract is being developed as well. We’re currently looking at tackling issues such as storing sensitive data securely so that our users privacy is kept as well as allowing recruiters to find the relevant candidates without revealing their personal information. Once we’ve got everything in place we’ll be working through user journeys and building out the interactions and user experience.

Design

Some dapps look more inviting to use, while others can be frustrating.

Usability and good design is important for decentralized apps to get right for mass adoption to really happen. This is something we want to bring to EOS with HireVibes, a usable dapp that anybody can enjoy easily.

We think EOS is the platform for building these type of dapps on. Among the most user-centric features of EOS, no transaction fees are obviously very important as it enables free trade to happen. However the simple design upgrade to human readable Usernames that EOS offers, is something we think will remove many barriers to adoption. It’s a small thing but it will alleviate a lot of the common fears that new people experience when using cryptocurrency for the first time.

When posting a job on HireVibes, we think the flow looks and feels like a regular app, and the people we showed (as part of validation testing) really understood it too. You simply choose the job you want to hire for, location, contract type, salary bracket, and any particular skills required. That’s the core of it, before finally adding the description of the job.

Hirers can also request help from the Decentralized Recruiting Team. These Recruitment Facilitators will be listed and available to facilitate any Hirer’s needs on HireVibes Dapp.

Matching Hirers with Recruitment Facilitators:

HireVibes Dapp will provide an option to all Hirers when posting job ads asking if they would like to engage the services of a Recruitment Facilitator for an added 2.5% token amount (bringing the total cost to a 10% token amount).

If a facilitation service is required, HireVibes Dapp will automatically choose the best Recruitment Facilitator based on reviews, areas of specialism etc and present this to the Hirer. An advanced option will also become available to enable a Hirer to choose their preferred Recruitment Facilitator manually. Learn more about Recruitment Facilitator Tasks.
