Abstract

With the government's measures in “Competing for Talents and Enterprises” aiming to attract 35000 foreign talents per year, companies have to examine numerous people’s skills, academic qualifications and other certifications in order to look for people who accord with the requirements. Moreover, it is time and manpower consuming to search and confirm different candidates’ academic credentials, which blockchain technology will be able to help.

Blockchain technology is able to store and secure myriad academic data and certificates of different people. It is also able to prevent people from falsifying their certificates, increasing the candidates’ credibility. Additionally, it is able to provide a quicker method for searching and selecting candidates who can meet requirements of different companies.

By utilizing blockchain technology on storing and retrieving individual’s data, it will greatly reduce the amount of manpower and time required for retrieving data and selecting suitable candidates for the companing. Plus, it will significantly improve the quality of the recruited candidates as candidates who are selected by the company are more qualified and suitable for the company.
