HRM Smart Contracts on the Blockchain

Abstract

Transparency is a problem in the hiring process of many institutions. For applicants, this process is often difficult to follow since applicants never know the state of their application and can't be sure that they are being evaluated in a fair manner. This is especially important in the public sector. Based on these premises, we propose a transparent and decentral model for the application processes by using Blockchain and smart contracts. In this system, vacancies are published to the blockchain as smart contracts, and candidates, as well as application reviewers and institutions, are rewarded for their honest participation in the process. This paper evaluates the proposed system and offers an example application to prove the viability of the model.
