A Blockchain-based Model for Integrated Higher Education and Recruitment Information

Abstract

In order to have an automated and complete profile about any graduate, it is required to combine both academic and professional data from educational institutions and business organizations. Blockchain is a recommended solution to solve this problem. Educational institutions should keep all student information including the student's profile, courses, skills, grades, and certificates securely to be available later to the recruiters, and this is rarely considered by recruiters in order to have a complete profile for the graduates. As a result, we propose a new framework for integrating education, recruitment, and skill verification systems, which is based on blockchain that guarantees the confidentiality and privacy of the information and also saves time and effort. The proposed framework consists of three components: educational institutions (graduates' affairs), business organizations (HR for the former employer), and business organizations (HR for new employers).
This framework can contribute to solving the challenges facing the secure and efficient integration of the education and recruitment information about the graduate in order to have a sufficient profile to select suitable employees through verified information.
