Abstract

The aim of the study is primarily to investigate the applicability of
Blockchain technologies in the design of the ongoing recruitment process in the
companies. This can bring a more professional perspective especially to the
international companies by providing document transaction in fast and secure
way.

Many of the problems in Human Resources departments includes
recruitment problems. Today’s recruitment process built on accessing
information about candidates and eliminating those who does not meet job
requirements based on their resumes. Therefore, Human Resource specialists
often use career websites and it is significant to have an impressive number of
resume in their resume pools. In the end, there is a resume pool that has been
built with a very large unqualified and even false information about candidates.
In addition, there are difficulties in getting the employees' equivalence
certificates or transcripts about their education and proving their experience
and certificates gained abroad. This causes delays in gathering and verifying
the information and documents of job applicants. Although some mistakes are
difficult to remedy, it is of great importance to be against fraud and to
improve the hiring process. This is possible thanks to Blockchain Technologies
and strategic process flow approach. Since Blockchain’s main asset is solving
the problem of trust between individuals, Blockchain based model is recommended
with a new recruitment approach. BHR Platform represents a Platform which can
be used for keeping records and transaction of documents in secure way. This
platform recommends to create a decentralized Peer to Peer(P2P) network which
stores reliable, trusted, transparent information. This will assure an
effective recruitment process while decreasing operational costs.
