When starting up a business organization or any other organization, to fulfill your mission, vision or mandate, expenses must always be kept low to try and keep the profits high. Even for organizations that receive funds mainly through donor funding, there is a need to keep spending as low as possible. Every coin counts in business especially in these economic times where things are ever certain. One area where costs can be reduced greatly is in employment.

The whole process of employment can be simplified making it less time consuming and more cost effective. The overall result of the method that is being proposed is qualified employees for organizations which translates to more efficient work hence less spending per financial period and maybe even more profits. The proposed method is an attestation platform that is being developed by the SpringRole Company.

A platform that focuses on personnel quality

SpringRole is working on a platform that will see stakeholders in the employment sector work together to ensure that employees that make it to organizations are qualified and can deliver the tasks that are required of them. In third world countries like Kenya for instance, collapse of buildings have been witnessed in the recent past because of poor workmanship among other factors. Some of these collapses can be attributed to negligence by engineers or construction managers of those buildings.

This is just one example of the problems SpringRole may be able to solve through its attestation platform. Tragedies and losses occur daily and some can be attributed to poor workmanship and negligence. With a more efficient employment system, better services can be realized by companies which would translate to better profit margins or an overall growth of the platform.

Eliminating fake credentials

One of the ways through which fraudsters beat the current employment system is through fake credentials.

Making fake qualification certificates is not quite a hard task in this technological era.
Distinguishing real certificates from fake ones may take a lot of unnecessary time and it may require experts in that field which means more cash has to be spent on the recruitment process.
The SpringRole system is designed to prevent fraudsters from accessing the platform.

One of the first and major hurdles is the identity requirement. KYC bodies or other identity bodies may be required to verify the information submitted by individuals who would want to put their resumes in the platform. Fraudsters like anonymity but SpringRole will not give them that luxury.

After identity confirmation, different bodies within the platform will be used to attest to the credentials that will have been submitted. Universities, professionals and course givers are just some of the bodies that will attest to the cited credentials. Without the attestation by these bodies, the authenticity of the data submitted will forever be in question and may not even be considered.

Furthermore, SpringRole will also use a skills endorsement set up which will help potential employers determine whether the qualifications listed can actually be performed by the applicant. Endorsements can be given by professionals or past employers. Individuals who get more endorsement are at a better chance of getting employment through the platform. Employers will trust in the positive reviews these endorsements signify.

Protection for both employers and employees

SpringRole will also protect the interests of the employees. Organizations wishing to use the SpringRole platform to conduct their recruitment will also have to register and be verified by the platform. This is to prevent any shortchanging by these organizations or any fraud from taking place in the platform. Fake employers are known to popup and swindle job seekers by asking them for money in exchange for an interview or to get shortlisted. SpringRole will maintain the level of ethics required in recruitment.

Some problems solved in the employment sector

SpringRole may be the key to raising the standards of employment around the world. There are qualified graduates who are unable to practice what they have learnt. SpringRole is designed to keep these types of graduates or job seekers low on skill endorsement points.

When applied correctly, SpringRole can create an employment system that is solely based on merit.
Corruption, nepotism and such vices will be forgotten with a system such as the one SpringRole is proposing. The use of blockchain will also help keep things transparent.
Some of the obscurities in employment processes are the ones that lead to very questionable candidate selection by the recruitment panel.

Token ecosystem and ICO details

The token ecosystem cited by SpringRole in their literature focuses on the use of these tokens to strengthen the platform. SpringRole tokens are known as Spring and users can earn them through participation in various activities within the platform. Referrals are an easy way of earning Spring in the SpringRole platform. These tokens can then be used to endorse or attest a skill by users of the platform and they can also be used to obtain access to validated resumes when employers are looking for personnel to employ.

SpringRole’s solution can solve current employment issues and even future ones. Going the blockchain way will increase its credibility in terms of transparency. SpringRole will maintain an easy to use interface for both employers and employees. SpringRole have planned for an ICO event scheduled to start form the 1st of July, 2018 to raise funds that will enable them to complete their proposed platforms and deliver the services they have listed in their various platforms.
