Fiduxa is a new digital record keeper, using the blockchain to simplify the recruitment process.


By breaking the job-seeking cycle Fiduxa will shorten the gap in trust in the process, saving time and money.

WHAT IS FIDUXA?
Fiduxa is a decentralized system that enables people to attest their experience to companies. Fiduxa enables people to move jobs and countries more seamlessly.
The trustful profile that we create will allow companies to validate, attest, individuals and reduce onerous paperwork costing individuals hundreds of dollars and companies thousands.

Looks nice the project and idea super simple, but how you are different from Linkedin? In your MVP you even use login with  Linkedin. Are you gonna partner with them?

Is posting work reports mandatory?

This is very cool, but how are you going to convince people to migrate to your platform? There's a lot of friction there, and network effects are huge.

Hi, thank you for your interest in Fiduxa.

To answer your question: it is a process involving both sides: people will find advantageous to be able to certify their skills while HR managers or employers will be able to select their candidates with more precise searches.

One key element in our roadmap will be the fact that following standards we will 'normalize' the competencies: if you are a great 'project manager' you will disappear in the mess of the others, many of them are not project managers at all!

So your skills will emerge, like a good restaurant will emerge in Tripadvisor or a good Hotel emerges in Booking.com

We will start with a marketing campaing and we are already closing some agreements with HR companies and certificators.

Try out our MVP and feel free to give us any feedback... it would be precious!

BR
FiduxaTeam

Thank you for your interest in Fiduxa.

Report is not mandatory, you may choose whatever type of certification you want, and if you ask someone to certify you he can decide to give a feedback or not.

We have 3 certification levels (silver, gold, platinum) and each of them gives more quality in certification level, therefore more 'status' on a HR search.

You can give a try with our MVP: http://svc.fiduxa.com/fiduxa-certificator (http://svc.fiduxa.com/fiduxa-certificator)

A slight confusion, one of your goal is to reduce cost spent by both job seeker and hirer by acting as a bridge for both side. While this aim can be reached and actualized on the job seeker's side, doesn't the opposite effect happen to the job hirer side? To recruit employee, companies had allocated certain funds bestowed to HR department. Now, because they hire you as their bridge, they'll need a higher cost as they had to pay to use your service as well as still has to funds their HR dept.

Dear Miiike,

thank you for your interesting question, it's good to be able to clarify elements of our project through your help.

I run several rounds of hire and the real cost from hiring side is in the time spent by the HR or the headhunter going through hundreds of CVs and trying to figure out which experience matches their expectations.
You may understand how much would cost even a week of analysis run by a team of 2 (normally you have 2 people, one expert in recruitment and the second expert in the field.
 
Our aim is to reduce this cost to the minimum: by having a more focused group of candidates, the team may concentrate on the actual experiences and lookup the certificator's skills.

Querying through Fiduxa would not be a cost if the candidate sends the certified CV to the company, only when the company wants to select directly candidates.

Let me know if we've been able to clarify your question

BR
Fiduxa Team

So basically your goal to cut the company's budget is by offering the HR an already sorted and more focused list and of candidates so that they don't have to waste time to sort the candidates by themselves?

Who are your partners in the fintech sphere?

Thank you for your interest in Fiduxa.

Our partners are more in HR and skills certification sphere as we are not focusing fintech as vertical.

We already in advanced talks and looking to close some deals within first quarter 2018... stay tuned!

Fiduxa Team

That is one of the aims of Fiduxa. There is much more to it though. Another area where companies will save is in the validation of any candidate they select, however they select them. For example, to validate qualifications and past experience today, companies often hire external validation companies at significant cost. Likewise, if the qualifications and experience is trustworthy, then costs for head hunter services and HR admin processing can be reduced. Further costs can be saved for high value employees or in many industries where a great deal of documentation is required and costs allot of money today. In industries such as healthcare, engineering, oil and gas, transportation and others there is severe time and cost friction to the hiring process. Another case is hiring cross countries. Millions of people get jobs in countries outside their own every year and its a growing trend. A further case is in attestation of certifications for official processes, where companies have to submit documentation to governments or regulatory authorities. Lastly, for now, there is a case for helping universities and companies to attest documents. So Fiduxa have a clear aim, save companies money, save people time and money, create an ecosystem around the data. However there are multiple use cases that will be developed over time. Thanks for the question and please do let the team know if you want more info.

Thank you everyone for kind attention! We are happy to have many people cooperating with us and giving us valuable feedback!

Fantastic idea! Could you give me anymore information on the type of blockchain you're using?

Looks like a promising project that is going to streamline the recruitment process, very intriguing application of the ethereum network.

Dear Christopher,

Our token is an ERC20 token, this token is generated using the Ethereum blockchain. So we are using the Ethereums network to execute and run our smart contracts and will be using this to create our Decentralised application. Additionally, the Ethereum platform is the most common and well-tested platform currently available with multiple ICO's utilizing this blockchain. So we believe it to be the most optimal platform to currently develop on!

Thanks

We believe that skills certification will create a huge ecosystem where people will rate each other and certify correlated skills.

Now, how to push people to provide trustful certifications? The plan is to use a mixes solution where from one side an algorithm will try to understand if someone is not providing a proper rate: this person will have a 'credibility' value reduced until such value reaches '0'.
From that moment on,

1) each further certification from this person will be ignored
2) if this person will request a certification from another one, the applied value will be downgraded

From the other side, a trustful certificator will receive FDU grants (FDU=Fiduxa Coin) for each certification given.
From that moment on:

1) each further certification value will be upgraded
2) each time an HR company will use the given certificatin, the FDU grants will be converted in actual FDUs and assigned to the certificator


So from one side we'll ignore fake certificators and from the other side gift quality certificators

I like the vision of FIDUXA, it has great potential in a world where skills are going to be the best asset. Do you think it could be a way for freelancers to show in a more secure and shared way their competencies?

That'll be a case of missed target, IMO. And won't be cost effective. A company that spent so much on HR would prefer a more permanent employee. That's up to the dev team to consider this idea, though.

There is another project that focused on freelancing, you may want to check freelancercoin

Dear,

thank you for your interest in Fiduxa.

Yes, our aim is to try to solve the problem of trust between job seekers and HR entities.

In other fields this has been resolved by the involvement of the community, we are trying to apply the same approach but with a certification model

BR
FiduxaTeam

Dear Miiike,

indeed freelancing is something that is not in the immediate target, even though we believe that also the freelancing market will change: in future companies will buy specific skills not really focusing on people behind the skill.

Thank you a lot for your contribution, feel free to contribute more, we are growing with every comment by learning the market response

Please read our new post on FDU token prediction:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3013328 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3013328)

Thank you for linking our post: we believe this to be quite a conservative prediction.

Fiduxa Team

So this is some kind of website for job seekers and employers? What is the difference of your project to those existing now? Could this will protect our profile for those who want to hack our personal identity?

Dear Wylie,

thank you for your question.

Website is the interface for  a service where you can certify your skills, a kind of linkedin+tripadvisor+much more.

All skills are certified and all is saved on blockchain, we do not maintain really profiles, we rely on services like linkedin or others where professionals are already registered.

there's no 'hacking', indeed when you have your skill certified with your name and skill details, they would anyway refer to the data owner, and blockchain guarantees that data and certifications are immutable.

Feel free to raise further questions, all this is helpful to us

I like the idea and idea of the company, but you need to have a clear plan and plan how to make people use your platform. Now there are many similar projects that are your competitors

Thank you for contributing,

you are right, there's many competitors: this is good, the idea with only 1 player is generally a bad idea :)

Nevertheless we have the service already in beta release and our timeline is quite ahead of others. Furthermore we are closing B2B deals where both HR companies and Certificators will use our platform... as soon as we are ready we will disclose these deals.

We are different also in:

1) we have a great certification process, free for job seekers
2) certificators (professionals or not) will earn from certifying
3) we have onboard people that seat in standardization bodies for skills: we will standardize the skills while certifying, this is a great great advantage as many people use the same tag for skills really different (e.g project manager.. there's hundreds of interpretations of what is)
4) we have our investor in ISO standardization group for blockchain

At the end: we have the right people with the right ideas... we will do good!

Thank you again

Hey Fiduxa, one more question here: you said certificators (professionals or not) so anyone can be certificator?
How it will work in live  version? Let’s say I ask my colleagues to certify me, do they get FDU? But who are professionals?

Thank you for your question

Anyone can be certificator for gold level certification.

Yes your friend will be assigned FDUs: they will finally get them whenever an HR will use that certification successfully.

Professional certificators must be approved by Fiduxa team: they run platinum level certification and they get paid for their certifications by the person requesting their service.

Feel free to ask more if you need

BR
FiduxaTeam

So let me understand better: I can ask as many colleagues as I want to certify my skills? Correct? So If I asked 20 of them after my successful application all 20 will get FDU? This will be assigned automatically? Will price be depend on something?

Thank you for your question,

indeed you can ask any number of colleagues to certify you, the rating algorithm that is (c) by fiduxa will take care of the rest.

All your colleagues will be reserved a certain amount of FDU for certifying you

FiduxaTeam

wow this ico seems really interesting! are you planning to apply this technology to other fields than CV and headhunting?

Are you planning to pay to people who will submit cvs and documents?

And why should they be paid, on the first place? They're basically submitting in hope of getting a job, as in looking for a help to be hired, think about jobsDB or othet things alike. Now, do they pay their members?

Indeed you are right, we would assign tokens only to certificators as their role is a key role in Fiduxa process

Fiduxa TEam

I should say that your idea I really like. In this you are different from your competitors, most of them are giving tokens if you submit your documents, but as Miiike said this is nonsense.

So you are like TripAdvisor but with LinkedIn profile. Something new!

Indeed new but with a clear and already established process: we don't want to invent strange and unapplicable processes, we want to bring what is known in many areas into the HR, adding intelligence 'behind the curtains', that is a key element together with an easy process

FiduxaTeam

is there any form of investor protection, for example, a refund vault if the project doesn't reach the required crowd sale goal?

Just asking about the transparency of the tech. Will the blockchain be open, and the code published?

The code for the Fiduxa contracts is published on GitHub : https://github.com/fiduxa/FiduxaToken, the nature of the blockchain is visibility and trust so inherently. Yes!

Do u have agreements with some HR companies already?

What about universities? That would be useful!

Umm, wait... Now I get a little bit... troubled. If:

1. The certificator can be anyone, I repeat, anyone, close to the "submitter"
2. The review given by the certificator can increase the submitter's rating and visibility, and
3. The certificator get paid for their certification and review

Then, what would prevent someone to manipulate the system by saying to his friend, "hey, you're jobless, I am jobless, let's submit our CV and refer each other, certify each other. Not only it will give us a better visibility, it will also give you some beer money." Or to his neighbor, "Hi, I know we barely know each other, the last time I talk to you was on Christmas ten years ago, and that was because I was drunk and I thought you're my brother, but if you are willing to give me a review on this job seeking site I am joining, they'll pay you. Just make sure you make a good review of me. What? No, I am not the one that slash your tire last week. Ok, that was me, but I was just too annoyed by your cat. Anyway, don't forget to add review. Remember, free money. Ciao, see you ten years from now."

Did you get what I mean from both over-exaggregated dialogues?

1- the certificator (not platinum, i.e. not certified certificator) can be anyone. Naturally the algorithm tries to understand how 'close' you are with the submitter.
2- the review can increase but also decrease the rating (based on certain characteristics)
3- the certificator gets "assigned" tokens and paid not immediately but only if the review is useful to a specific HR company. I.e. the 'assigned' tokens are released if an HR company selects the candidate, therefore utilize the review.

What you say is correct but our algorithm will check cross-certifications and reduce the given rating accordingly.
Furthermore this will come out in case an HR company will see the candidate certification with related metadata (e.g. cross-certifications, etc as you properly mentioned) that will be given together with the profile. HR company will be able to 'mark' the skills as unreliable and the certificator will be considered 'fake' and completely ignored in further ratings.

I'm sure we will have to improve the system as people is very intelligent in dealing with this, but we planned the algorithm to be 'pluggable' and therefore we will be able to update it anytime.

Thank you for your very good question, it helps us to give exact details on the process.

FiduxaTeam

Whats the soft cap here?

Thanks for that. Do you have private investment?

II suggest you need to be more aggressive!  Is indeed not easy , to market Ico now is big money! In your roadmap you’ve started in September, why you started your marketing only now?

This is wise... learning while doing...good luck to all team!

Will you be implementing a chrome extension? ???

I am more curious on how do you suggest this extension to be working? As I imagine this project future realization, members will submit their CV once and update them from time to time. It'll be simpler to just access the site to update and check as I don't think people will need to check or access their profile several times a day.

Thanks for the responses. Do you have any further screen captures of how Fiduxa will function or is it still too early?

Thanks

Do you give 10 free FDU? How I can get it?

Are you thinking to extend this or offer a greater discount? The market is f*ked at the moment  ???

Something I'm also thinking about as a freelancer myself just unsure how this would function

What date does the ICO stage finish?

can you explain advantages for job seeker?
thank you

Inetersting project, but as for me it looks similar to LinkedIn. What differs you from it, team? Explain pls

Wow, you guys have good team leaders. Reading this "Pietro is a Committee Member for ISO TC 307 Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies standards. Pietro is an expert in government blockchain applications and is focused on blockchain implementations, including work with several governments across the world. "
and this "Roberto is head of Delegation for Italy in the European Commission for Standardisation TC 428 – Digital competences and ICT Professionalism.", just what is needed for the project to be success.
