#2To be clear, I'm not sharing this because I agree with it (because I don't), but I'd love to hear what HN thinks.

#3I can't even get companies to trust my open source portfolio, with all of the work public on GitHub, and my long list of references from credible places like NASA. Most companies still insist on 8+ hour sample projects. There'd have to be a huge change in the way companies think about hiring for them to someone simply because their work history is verified on a block chain.

#4I think plausibly your cv, recommendations from people and credentials could be listed on a Blockchain and verified by your id tied to it, but:
- I don’t see why you need NFTs - I don’t see how it’s better than e.g LinkedIn. Or maybe it could be the back end to LI’s front end
It’s really a distributed way of storing your cv - how does that benefit your job search?
One comment in the thread was that employers would search and compile your experience, in order to end up to selecting you…. So why aren’t they doing that now on LinkedIn as all that info is there already?

#6Another example of technology being forced into an application and solutionising rather than thinking about how it will/should work in practice.

#7Seems like the idea has nothing to do with NFT (idea = 'employment db is good'), but the author is selling his book / course on NFTs and is making the thread into an advert for his product.
That sums up everything to do with NFTs for me. The smell remains rotten and I will, again, run away and fast.

#8Can’t imagine wanting to work, or really have a beer anywhere in the vicinity of, somewhere that hired like this. But VCs will fund this stuff, some companies will use it, and mostly we’ll carry on as before.

#9i don't like it.
largely because:
1. its focussed on "how" we hire, not "why" we hire which seems like a red flag for me.
2. it's a human - human interaction. all the humans involved should consent to it, requiring a human decision which must be done at human speeds.
3. people, their skills and interests change. we forgive and forget. success is chancy and sparse. the block chain is immutable.
4. the vision of the future reminds me a lot of the CCCP's social credit score system which does not fill me with hope.
5. it's entirely from the employers perspective with little to no consideration for the job seekers needs beyond "need a job". how do review, agree, negotiate the contract?
hiring isn't "broken", it's just a system being wrenched along with the wild pace of change
that said, maybe in a different system where things worked differently it wouldn't feel such a jarring idea

#10Why would being on a block chain help? Why wouldn't this be a private database like the credit bureaus? Thats always the question with block chains.
