Methods and systems for employment and education verification using blockchain

Abstract

A method for facilitating employment and education verification is disclosed using Blockchain technology. The method includes: a user submitting a change or an update to their online resume using Blockchain. At its core, Blockchain is a network of computers, all of which must approve a transaction has taken place before it is recorded, in a “chain” of computer code; the Users Update is recorded in a Block and made available to all the relevant parties on the network to validate the Users claim regarding the latest update (eg change in title at current company); when all the relevant parties validate the claim, the change is recorded as a permanent record. In this methodology using Blockchain, the information is transparently held in a shared database, without a single body acting as middleman and once the final change is recorded as it cannot be altered or changed. There can only be additions to this data.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
