Hey guys, I just wanted to spread the word about a blockchain project I recently heard about, having met the Founders and chatted a bit with them. If you're interested in the potential for innovation in the Recruitment Industry utilizing Blockchain Technology, this is a project to consider for sure! Founded by Adam Kilshaw (Founder), Kevin Gornall (Co-founder) and Leslie Dundas (Co-founder), this is a company that emerged from a pre-blockchain recruitment software project created by Adam. There are many great things the blockchain can provide in terms of increasing
Some of the problems they are providing solutions for for Jobseekers are:
The Problems
• How many job websites have you registered with over the years?
• How many minutes/hours has it taken to update your CV information, cover letter and general portfolio of documents and then have to login to your job websites and upload your data?
• Have you been sent a job via email from a reputable company/website that you had previously registered with and placed your data, and of which you think would suit your needs? However, when you click on “Apply” for the position it takes you to another job website that you have never seen or heard of and they require you to register with them to apply for the job, again this is “Frustrating & Time consuming” after spending your time and effort updating all your data.
• Have you tried to get your CV to employers when competing against other jobseekers/candidates but to gain an advantage a job website/company may offer you a premium package where you will be required to pay money so that you can get to the top of the list? Did this ever work? What are its guarantees?
• How many employers or job agencies have rang/emailed you regarding a job position but they sometimes have an outdated CV along with other parts of information, due to either forgetfulness on your be-half with not updating on a job website or that the agency simply have old documents?
• How many job emails or texts do you receive for a job role that has nothing to do with your career, location and information you have on your CV?
• How much of your data has been sold and passed on to a third party companies or websites where they benefit on your behalf?
Employers & Job Agencies
• Do you constantly have to chase after jobseekers/candidates to get an updated CV or documentation as you have outdated information?
• How many registered job websites do you hold an account with and need to keep logging in to update your job adverts and more, its very time consuming?
• How many job websites do you get emails from regarding a candidate/jobseeker that is or has no relevance to the job position within your establishment you are trying to fill?
• Do you have a company/business website but would like to have your own job board placed on your website but the costs for this are way too expensive especially if you only need to fill one or two job positions?
• Are the costs for job adverts and the purchasing of jobseekers/candidate profiles too expensive?
The Solutions Promised By UlteriorJobs
• We aim to provide a platform that will synchronize your CV, Data, Documentation, Job Adverts and more, by the use of a “Peer To Peer” transaction on the Blockchain.
• You will have the opportunity to recover your data if your computer or device breaks gets lost, stolen or other.
• UlteriorJobs will act as the engine with automatically transferring your transactions of data between the device applications that each account member has on their device but you will still hold the steering wheel, and will help save precious time during your busy day-to-day activities.
• We will NOT use/sell your data to a third party, like the many who currently use this tactic and sell to others.
• For all users to create an account will always be free. Regarding employers, companies and job agencies you will have the option of choosing between four options to use the platform and allow you to create your media and acquiring portfolios while still being able to control from your local device via the use of our application or website platform.
• There will be no advantage for any user as its tough enough to find a job within any of the working sectors.
• You will only receive emails relating to your job adverts, company advertisements that are due to expire. You will receive notification of direct messages or requests that have sent by the platform members once you interact with your application or the social platform.
• We will provide an API key for registered businesses/companies who wish to extend their own websites with holding their own job board that will only display their job adverts they have posted and are live on the UlteriorJobs platform.
• The UTR Token will allow Jobseekers to display their portfolio to the respective employer and agencies within the live feed discussions section. Jobseekers will be able to swap their UTR if they choose to and gain further functionality with gaining access to the professionally created CV templates, video training and more.
• The employers and agencies will be able to advertise their business using the UTR Token, and again will have the option to change using the credits system for more functionality with further business advertising options and job advertising. With our Credits system, you will be able to change your UTR Token into an internal credit to gain more functionality.
Now, the areas that may not seem like an obvious place for a blockchain to have utility are often the areas that can hugely benefit from it. Innovation can be made in the Recruitment Industry through the use of the Blockchain, as the blockchain will have utility in all sectors, so this is a project to explore. The Team has clear goals and they are fully committed to meeting the needs of their consumers and to ensuring they have a successful growing period in their company. They are partnering with recruitment companies for the Beta Stage of their project and the count down to their ICO is nearing its end, with the start date being July 18 2018! Check out their site, read their whitepaper, and give it some consideration if this is a sector you're interested in as an investor! Also, consider reaching out to them if you are a Recruiter, own a Recruitment Agency, or if you know someone who does!
