Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#42the way NFT's or blockchain can improve hiring is by asking candidates, if they think these technologies have potential, and if they say yes don't hire them.
Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#43This 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 unde…
I think the problem is that list is basically in reverse order of what's easiest to assess in a candidate.
Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#44Seems 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.
> That sums up everything to do with NFTs for me. The smell remains rotten and I will, again, run away and fast. NFTs are just a way to represent something unique on a blockchain. The smell comes from the pixel art NFTs. Your position on a uniswap v3 pair is represented as an NFT (no pixels associated), while v2 used ERC20 tokens (fungible) Suppose you own a car rental. You can represent the available cars as NFTs an…
Have you ever worked at a warehouse? Companies keep inventories in a database. This database often does not reflect reality
I bought some lumber a few weeks ago. Bought a cedar board that they had in their inventory, went out to the lumberyard to find they were out of stock. Ended up swapping the it out for some cedar deck board they happened to have

Suppose you own a car rental. You can represent the available cars as NFTs and use a blockchain to make reservations and payments
And either give that information away to your competitors if the chain is public, or just implement a far more complex tech that could have been a straightforward database if it's private. Either way you lose.

#46From the second tweet in the thread:
It scans the blockchain and rates your set of on chain experiences and credentials
The hard part of hiring is that rating work. Comparing candidates is 99% of the work. He just hand waves that away, which shows a lack of understanding at best.
Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#47> The web3 enabled internet will give you quests, adventures and courses to prove your worth
> You'll learn and earn on-chain credentials
> You’ll use your credentials to prove who you are, what your skills are and what people say about you
So how will this apply to people who are using their time for work or personal projects (or indeed anything else), and not for "web3 quests and adventures"?
Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#48 rates your set of on chain experiences and credentials
- If above a certain rating, you’re hired within 60
seconds
And it is similar in a more professional context. Hiring on UpWork is hard work. Even though they have a lot of scores. But for some reason the scores are not enough to base decisions on.
Re: How NFTs will change hiring
#49The overwhelming consensus in this thread and in the replies to that tweet is dissent on the basis of the many completely obvious holes in the author's reasoning, which I won't get into here. What I'd like to appreciate is the uniqueness of the blockchain space in its seemingly bottomless capacity to generate these bold propositions for which blockchain is _blatantly_ ill-equipped to solve whatever problem is at hand…
In this case, the author is just selling a $6000 course called “Crypto College” which is a week-long Discord event.
Hyping the possibility of NFTs solving everything is how he sells NFTs to join his expensive course.
He doesn’t really believe NFTs will make people instantly hired by companies. He just wants to sell more tickets to his NFT course.

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why do we even need NFT or blockchain? Couldn't we just have some open standard and maybe PGP for endorsements? Now generating chain from PGP might be bit more tricky, but I don't see blockchains or NFTs adding anything extra.
Having an on-chain professional profile that is part of your (web3) identity does make sense to me. People are already willing to share their Linkedin profile with the world, why not replicate that in a system that is user-owner vs. Microsoft owned.
So put it on your own website, or as part of your profile on any of the tons of other sites you use professionally. Burning the planet to share a cv with a handful of people is bonkers.
