XPChain: A Blockchain-Based Decentralized e-Recruitment Platform

Abstract

E-Recruitment system has emerged in the modern age since 1994 to amend the traditional recruiting system by making it faster, cost-effective, and flexible. Although the issue aroused from racism, nepotism, fraud, etc. these couldn’t be mitigated entirely even with the help of modern technologies. This research study aims at creating a decentralized global platform for e-recruitment and make the recruitment process more secure as well as trustworthy to both the recruiters and the recruitees. It constitutes a ubiquitous trusted, experience point system that can present a globally unified perspective for employees, organizations and other stakeholders. This will also discuss how Blockchain technology is helping to secure the e-recruitment process from all the issues mentioned above. The study will provide a conceptual model along with a proof-of-concept. The XPChain implementation is a prototype proof-of-concept of the environment. XPChain stores employees’ work experiences in terms of experience points. It is flexible enough to be used along with the organizations’ existing HRM systems. This platform becomes more acceptable and robust as more people and organizations start to use it.
