Daily networking requests, cold callers leaving unwanted messages, and recruiters bombarding your email with unwanted jobs have meant people are beginning to lose their faith in recruiters. In a fast moving world, how people can take control of their career paths, without feeling uneasy about who they share their profile and contacts with might seem like a complicated issue.

Blockchain technology is revolutionising the way we store, share and access data, across all industries. R_Block has now launched a network to give you ownership of your career.

Rather than a system plagued by a lack of trust and second guessing, our platform will provide a decentralised network of CVs and references. The network is semi-anonymous, which is designed to eliminate unspoken hiring prejudices and increase timely and accurate job placements.

This sounds good in theory, so how does this anonymous hiring actually work? Well, gone are the days when people place their trust in an unknown recruiter or company, unsure of how they’ll be presented and how their information will be used. R_Block is set up as a reference system, run using a consortium Ethereum blockchain, where the individual only releases information on their terms. The system allows people to own and enter into smart contracts — asking for a reference that will be verified and given a time stamp — and only releasing this information when they want to. The worker will own their years of credibility, proven performance, and skills developed over time, and avoid unwanted contact. We like to think of it as a modern careers ledger.

The network has also been designed to improve the broader recruitment industry, by enabling companies and recruitment professionals to collect authenticated references in a single click. Recruiters can feel more comfortable about the workers they put forward, and reduce misleading information on resumes. At the moment there is abuse in the system from both sides, which can lead to them both missing out, and the most skilled candidates being overlooked.

We believe it’s the individual who should benefit from the skills and references that they’ve accumulated and honed over the years. The workers in the network can earn CV tokens by sharing their blockchain verified profile, and entering into smart-contracts. These contracts should alleviate the need for third parties and eradicate any worry about passing on contacts’ details and information that you aren’t happy to share.

At R_Block, we believe it’s time that we let skills speak for themselves and help surface the most qualified person for the job. Let’s solve the trust problem, and help you take your professional identity back into your own hands.

Yours,

Luke Shipley
