[ANN][PRE-ICO] R_Block | Blockchain Based Referencing

[shippable.ls]

I'm interested in the stage of voting. Can an worker collude and buy votes in his favor to confirm certain skills? If yes - how to deal with it?

Very good point. The referencing tool integrates seamlessly into the hiring process. So the reference and skills data is collected in real job applications by previous managers. The reference scores highly by providing real examples of their work and the amount of detail.

The upvoting functionality exists within the hiring network. Companies in that pay CV tokens to interact with the worker and see their full profile will be given the option to upvote after interviewing or interacting with them. Hiring companies will be identity checked (Civic or Uport) just as referees will and the network validators will be looking out for this behaviour. There is an infographic on the site to explain how it fits together: https://rblock.co/

Does that make sense?

Interesting idea
Buut, I didn't quite understand. How does a recruiter, employee and employer interact on a platform? Explain please this process in more detail.

Can worker sell his account on R_BLOCK?  This is big problem for LinkenID

Good point. This would be an issue if profiles were purely skills based. But this is exactly the kind of problem we guard against. Since profiles are built up of proven references with confirmations of companies worked at and dates. This creates a unique digital identity in itself, profiles will be unique to each individual.

There are many different scenarios we have had to consider, I'll explain a couple of the popular ones. But let me know if you have something specific in mind.

Collecting The Reference
A company may be working with a recruitment firm to supply staff to hire. Usually, in this scenario, a recruitment firm will at least claim to be conducting references as part of their service with the client. We encourage both parties (the company & recruiter) to be involved in collecting the reference. The reference is collected via our email - private message exchange. The reference provided by the referee and will be passed by to the company or recruiter that initiated the smart contract in a form in an email. If the company is not part of this process, the worker can share the reference that has been stamped on the blockchain and their profile to cross check.

Job Board Network
Within this network companies and recruiters will have an interchangeable persona. They will be operating in the same way - just like companies and recruiters do on traditional job boards (Monster, Indeed). A company or recruiter will search via workers proven skills, then pay CV tokens to reveal their full profile and a chance to contact them.

Good question, thanks very much.

I think you can tie the account to the IP and phone number. In this case, the phone number will can change only after the video call to the administration of platform - that the identity has been confirmed. Everything is very simple.
2FA for account - necessary ..

Absolutely! It is a great solution we are looking in to.

a very quiet project. But ICOs acting like this are very profitable.

Are negotiations with large employers or recruiting agents going on? I believe that attracting serious market players can well affect the popularity of R_Block.

Thank you for your question. Yes we are they are ongoing we are speaking to quite a few companies, but only working with select few so that the network grows in the right way with the right data and people. We have confirmed one partner and will be announcing them throughout the campaign.

Very interesting projects, as I was used to be a recruiter. I know it is very hard to collects all the reference information from candidate.
I really got interested in the referees incentive to put their reference on the R_BLOCK.
I am very looking forward to seeing this project will solve our recruiters, candidates, and referees problems!!

The idea sounds good. When references come from other companies data is more reliable and that benefits both the employee and the recluiter.

Seems it's something like LinkedIn. You pay to contact employee, ye? But, i don't see difference between 'skill-proof' system.

it was a nice sharing.

It is nice to hear from the situation of your work.
I am a newsletter member but it is better here.
