I’ve been trying to push the conversation around how blockchain can revolutionize HR for several years, but yet to know of any real solid ideas around how or what anyone is specifically doing (I have ideas of my own, though!) As skills technology and organizational structures mature—likely driven by AI—leveraging systems that quickly and accurately match employees with transferable skills for both short-term and long-term roles will become a crucial competitive advantage necessary for relevance in the evolving job market.
I would imagine a way for it to be the vehicle that securely keeps all of a persons experience, certifications, education, etc. - essentially replacing resumes and traditional application processes. The implications this could have on being able to accurately understand which skills people have in the workforce and the technology that could then suggest transferrable skills/design development plans would be huge IMO. It could foreseeably consolidate unwieldy tech stacks, elimating the need for point solutions that "decode" a lot of the unstructured data that blockchain would inherently structure. I envision it as a "key" (or token) that everyone would have and "drop-off" at an organization when looking for a new role, and employers would have a way to search for skills and experience without the noise (or bias) of a resume. There are several possibilities - these are just a few off the top of the list! :)
Agreed, there must be room for something new, something beyond a digital register that HR Core practically are. Something that captures what people do, how they do it and when they do it. Something about connecting all the existing data that our employees create and make sens / value out of all the data points we generate each day.

I’m not sure how blockchain helps.

I love #evilplans…they’re usually the best.
Would love to do some musing together, Thomas.
