CVWhisper
In a world where hiring is expensive and verifying credentials can be a daunting task, we need a system to prove one's work experience, which is at least slightly more informative than a PDF, and more transparent than LinkedIn.

The landscape
1
Hiring is Expensive
It's rather normal to spend 10-15k EUR to hire a new developer in Berlin.2
Of that, at least **3k** is spent on figuring out whether the whole experience the candidate claims to have is fake.3
The world is complicated
More than one account.
More than one CV.4
People like certificates!
Hats are profitableExisting Solutions and Their Limitations
Velocity Network Foundation
This platform focuses heavily on KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, which can be a barrier for some candidates, especially those from third-world countries or independent professionals.
Indorse 2.0
Focuses only on people writing an reviewing programming code. People outside the industry may also want to join the party!
DeepSkills, DeepTeams, and DeepWorkStudio
Resonate well with our purpose. They build a blockchain-based verification of actual work accomplishments, which could be a more organic and versatile approach to building a comprehensive employment history.

Revenue Generation and Sharing
Community Revenue
Communities must deposit crypto to enter the system. This deposit is then distributed among existing active members of the network. A crypto fee is also required to send invites.
Individual Revenue
Individuals can join for free and earn by referring companies to the platform. They share in the revenue generated by "good" communities they belong to.
Exclusion and Penalties
Communities that send unsolicited invitations are excluded from the network. Individuals who were part of "bad" communities also see reduced revenue rates.
Incentive Structure
The revenue sharing model incentivizes building "good" communities and being an active, contributing member. This helps maintain the integrity and value of the network.
Potential Use Cases
Hiring and Recruitment
Companies can use the blockchain-based proof of work record to efficiently and cost-effectively verify the credentials of job applicants, reducing the burden of the hiring process.
Credential Verification
Individuals can use the system to easily and securely share their work history and achievements, without the need for extensive documentation or personal information disclosure.
Collaborative Opportunities
The decentralized nature of the system can foster a community of professionals, enabling collaboration, skill-sharing, and the formation of new work opportunities.
Potential Partnerships and Integrations
Our Path Forward
1
Prototype Development
Complete the prototype! Our one definitely needs some love: it's a bare-bone POC
2
Community Engagement
Engaging with key stakeholders, such as companies, job seekers, and credential providers, to understand their needs and ensure the solution aligns with their requirements.

Community Engagement
NICE (named accounts for communities rock!)
ZUPASS (because it seems like a nice instrument to create identities for individuals)
