Korea’s Largest Job Search Platform Uses Blockchain to Verify Applicants’ Credentials

ICONLOOP , Korea’s leading blockchain company, and SaraminHR, Korea’s largest job search platform, have announced the first full implementation of blockchain technology in the recruitment and staffing industry in South Korea. Earlier this year, the two companies signed an agreement to build and promote a blockchain-based decentralized identity (DID) ecosystem and related services.

On behalf of its corporate clients, SaraminHR provides end-to-end recruitment and staffing management services from sourcing the best candidates to providing a comprehensive evaluation report. With ICONLOOP’s DID, SaraminHR aims to further enhance the credibility of job applications and recruiting processes by introducing three new features to its job search platform: Final Candidate Report Forgery Prevention, Certificate Forgery Prevention, and Offline Test Attendance Verification.

First, the Final Candidate Report Forgery Prevention feature enhances the security and transparency of job qualification exams and interview scores. After a candidate takes a job qualification exam and completes interviews, all scores are immediately and permanently recorded on a public blockchain network.

Second, the Certificate Forgery Prevention feature first requires all applicants to download and use ICONLOOP’s Zzeung (www.zzeung.id) mobile application to verify their identity. Then, the applicants can upload and link all their official certificates such as college diplomas and transcripts to their identity by using ICONLOOP’s digital certificate app called BROOF (www.broof.io). Through this process, the credibility of the applicants’ certificates are improved. In addition, applicants can conveniently submit verified certificates to various companies with only a few clicks. The blockchain technology that powers both of these applications ensures applicants’ privacy and security while providing the benefits of transparency and credibility to companies.
