I would like to understand more about your product. Does it ensure the accuracy of your resume? I.e that you really did work for Google since 2020? Or is it more to simply ensure that the content has not changed. But if so, who cares if your resume has changed?

  > What is a Blockchain Verified Resume? > When the owner of a resume decides to create a blockchain resume, Rezi makes an encrypted record of: issuer, recipient, resume, date of creation. These pieces of data are encrypted right onto the blockchain. This means that every blockchain resume is incredibly secure. Secure from what?

    They could put the resume file on ipfs and be done. They made what looks like a tech course final project.

      or even better, put it on github or google drive.

        or just email it or attach it to a form for whoever needs it when you're applying (which is how they'll ask for it)

  This is the first step we've taken towards the bigger goal of ensuring truthfulness of the experiences on the resume. But for now, it does two things - ensures the resume has not been altered since created (think recruiter's incentives to do so) and serves as a promise from the job seeker that the resume is truthful. We're just launching, so let's see how it evolves over time

    >ensures the resume has not been altered since created (think recruiter's incentives to do so) How often do recruiters actually modify your PDF resume after you submit it? Why would they do that when the company can just verify its contents on LinkedIn? Do you actually have any kind of data on this? And if you're actually worried about rogue recruiters modifying your resume after you make it, why would you not sign your PDF? >serves as a promise from the job seeker that the resume is truthful. Because it's on the blockchain it's not bullshit? This is quite honestly one of the dumber product pitches I have heard in a while. It sounds like you just pulled a word out of the hat to figure out what to blockchainify next.

      let me answer these questions in a year once we've had time to see the result. The feature comes from asking our users what they'd like to see improved on our existing software. The topics of trust/authenticity have been left unexplored in relation to the resume. We'll gladly be the first.
  - beachy 5y ago
    I still don't get it - when you give your resume to a recruiter they can rework it as they see fit, but they can't change your original. That's on your hard drive/wherever. What does Blockchain add to that? And as to a promise that the resume is truthful - thats just your assurance, what does block chain have to do with that either? Asking with genuine interest as we are in the HR space so often discussing these sort of things.

What does this protect against? Nothing too bad has happened to me so far with my non-blockchain PDFs. From the site copy it seems to say I can just verify that it was uploaded at a certain time. Why does that matter?
- jacob_rezi 5y ago
  I agree with you, I've never had issues with my non-blockchain PDF, but having the option to put a resume on the blockchain is something that the majority of our users responded they'd like to be able to do. Ultimately it's a small part of our software, but it does allow users to prove they are the one who created the resume originally. The value of this is yet to be determined.

Does the blockchain verify my identity? Or that I worked any of the places I claimed to work?
- jacob_rezi 5y ago
  It would verify that you are the original creator of the resume. It would also allow the hiring manager to instantly and independently verify that the resume has not been altered by anyone accept you. It does not verify claims of your experiences - that is a messier endeavor.

    So its not useful at all, good job

    Fyi I can sign my pdf resume with my national id card with a legally binding digital signature. This provides all the same guarantees, without using a third party blockchain-based service.

> You have no idea how your career goals are related to the job you want I don't know whether an employer can help me meet my own career goals, but an AI does? And somehow the blockchain factors into this? This is one of the more patronizing startups I've ever seen.

  Cleaned up that lazy copy-writing. Thanks for that. We use GPT-3 to write content following best practices. I am sure you understood that much from the website. Blockchain verified resume is one of four download types along with PDF, DOCX, Drive. Not a huge component of the software by any stretch of the imagination. The software is quite nice, no patronizing here.

    Don't blame GPT-3, there aren't that many words on there.
