Will WEB3 change the approach to hiring?

By and large, today's hiring strategies follow rather simple and straightforward, and one might even say passive.

Roughly it might look like this:

You post a job ad, get applications, review resumes, schedule interviews, a second and third if necessary, and hire. But each of these steps can change in the future of recruiting if and when Web3 becomes commonplace.?

Of course, we at MLP Co , as a progressive company that is constantly on the cutting edge of change in the web environment, is trying not just to be, but also to make some contribution to its development. ?And to meet high standards and be one step ahead.

We believe in what we create

I'm sure that at the very least, the approach will become more proactive. Not sitting around waiting for a candidate to post a resume or posting an ad on a board and waiting for someone to respond. I think the process will become more dynamic, using platforms like #Discord, #Twitter, #Hackathons and others...?

Some enthusiasts, like Raad Ahmed , CEO of Lawtrades , suggest:

"Perhaps resumes themselves will become obsolete in favor of a new system, a kind of digital ID token. Who you know (connections) and a demonstration of your work (portfolio) will be more important than your resume."

Three likely ways in which n all recruiters, and hiring managers will find themselves in a different situation than they are now.

№1. #HR management will have access to an "objectively vetted" talent pool

#Web3 enthusiasts have suggested that because employers will be able to directly view a candidate's profile and experience via blockchain, they won't have to wait for job seekers to contact them through traditional job postings and application processes.?And because results on the blockchain cannot be faked, employers will be able to objectively assess a candidate's skills and experience through their Web3 profile.?

This can speed up the hiring process and reduce the time spent on things like assessment tests and multiple interviews.

№ 2. Job boards will play a secondary role in active search

The key role and largest #Web3 community are in Discord . Influencers, founders - Twitter .?

Well, it makes sense that since programming is a manual job, it makes sense that today's Web3 employers are more interested in GitHub profiles than resumes.

We also sometimes check the Gitcoin profile (a platform where you can get paid to work on open-source software). Sometimes they don't even ask for a resume," says Muskan Kalra , head of developer relations at Polygon.

While such an instant hiring process, from review to offer, maybe the exception at this point, I have a hunch that more and more people aimed at attracting talent will soon adopt these tactics.

№3. The gig economy is in for a major upheaval

For me personally, this is probably the most interesting point. I think it hides a tremendous amount of perspective and processes modification

With the advent of decentralized autonomous organizations (#DAO), many Web3 recruiters view potential employees as employees rather than actual employees.?

For example, Braintrust , the self-described ‘first decentralized talent network’ is on a mission to democratize the gig work environment for both companies and talent.?

Freelancers on Braintrust don’t have to contact clients via marketplaces like #Upwork or #Fiverr that collect a percentage of the fees they charge.

If companies like #Braintrust break into the mainstream, the talent that can usually be accessed via popular marketplaces could start opting to connect with clients via decentralized networks rather than the more well-trodden freelance sites.

In the final part, let's talk about the problems, and they are (OH NO!) quite weighty.

But about that next time...
