Giant Randstad turns to blockchain

Leading global player in human resources, Randstad leverages technology blockchain of Cypherium, associated with Google Cloud, to optimize and accelerate recruitment process.

according to Randstad, the combination of the blockchain solution Cypherium and of Google Cloud makes it possible to "match talents to the needs of businesses more effectively".

Google Cloud and G Suite already frees us from some manual verification tasks, and we want to use the blockchain of Cypherium to free up even more, ”said Frank van der Bijl, Global Collaboration Manager at Randstad.

Randstad selected the Cypherium blockchain in order to have the performance and security necessary for his project: "Choose the right blockchain platform was a priority for Randstad “, Specifies the leader.

Cypherium is a blockchain platform of smart contracts hybrid because based on the proof of work (PoS) but also HotStuff, a protocol used in particular by Libra from Facebook.

Randstad relies on humans to verify qualifications, a process which can sometimes be very long. With Cypherium, the Dutch group wishes to offer a instant verification from official sources through a system of digital signatures, while preserving the confidentiality of its users. Rather than storing clear data on centralized servers, Cypherium indeed secures data with the standard DID (Decentralized Identifiers).

We work with CVs that contain a whole story. Confidentiality is therefore certainly one of our main concerns, underlines van der Bijl.

According to the company, DLT technologies can help verify academic and professional qualifications as well as the date of birth, address and driver’s license information.

Google Compute Engine and the Cypherium blockchain are the perfect combination for us, ”concludes van der Bijl.
