Abstract

An adequate project matching and recruitment process are of high importance for any company and organization. Many factors, such as rapid growth, sick leaves, or sudden new skill demands, can influence the rushed hiring decisions, which could lead to choosing an inadequate person for a project, and, consequently, produce a negative outcome. Several active platforms exist, that aim to increase employability on a global scale while offering potential workers with the ideal job position. In this paper, we present a solution which combines blockchain technology and AI, while taking advantage of their most important and most relevant features. Blockchain technology is used to ensure the integrity of the provided information, while the matchmaking process is assured by AI.
