#12Tell me you don't understand digital signatures by the most tone deaf display of biohazardous tax cattle culture possible.

#13Seems 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.

I think NTFs would make sense in some cases by providing a publick ledger of properties. It would avoid situations like that when a Luton man got his home stolen from him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-59069662

#15I 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 se…
Linkedin is a walled garden. They make it really hard to use "their data" - the professional profiles of their users - outside their ecosystem, which makes sense as their business model optimises to sell Linkedin Recruiter Licences.
The fact that professional identities live in a closed ecosystem prevents real innovation to happen on top of the network.

Exactly - and this behaviour is a defining characteristic of blockchain technologies because of the money involved.
I never see posts like “how event-sourcing will change hiring forever” but that’s just as valid from a technology perspective to meet the implied requirements.

#17This concept sounds like tyranny. Would it really stop at credentialism? How would this work for the self-taught? If I quit a shitty employer after 2 weeks, is that going to follow me for the rest of my life?
It kind of baffles me how people act like interviews are a one-way street. I get that applying and interviewing can be a slog, but you should be interviewing your employer as much as they are interviewing you. There have been several instances where I turned down jobs because the employer failed the interview process in my eyes. I shudder to imagine how my life would have turned out if I ended up working at that one place where they wanted me to speed-code under 1 minute per challenge while the interviewer stood behind me with a stopwatch.

#18Lost all respect for Greg Isenberg. This thread comes across as a scam artist. The underlying proposed concept doesn't need NFTs nor does it need blockchains.

#19Skillset and capabilites are a small part of the process when hiring for full time roles. The person has to work with a team full of highly unique individuals. This thread misses the whole point there.
I think working, at all, will totally become optional by the time we reach the point what author imagines. If it is just the skillset that matters, you can hire a freelancer in 6, not 60, seconds even today.

#20This is daft, it’s assuming the only thing important in hiring is previous technical experience. As Dee Hock said : “ Hire and promote first on the basis of integrity; second, motivation; third, capacity; fourth, understanding; fifth, knowledge; and last and least, experience. Without integrity, motivation is dangerous; without motivation, capacity is impotent; without capacity, understanding is limited; without understanding, knowledge is meaningless; without knowledge, experience is blind. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities.”
