Edubuk has created a decentralized application to Digitally Issue, e-Seal & e-Verify Educational and Work-Experience Certificates on the Blockchain making it significantly cheaper and faster for Universities and Employers to conduct background verification process of Students and Employees. Our dApp provides eSealing and Hashing and Time Stamping of the certificates & documents on the chain for the certificates & degrees issued by the University, and for transparent verification on chain by 3rd Party Verification Companies. This helps Universities and Employers to accept only genuine students & employees, in a faster and cost-effective manner.
Our SaaS product & solution on the Blockchain is gaining traction in the market by Universities in India and by 3rd party transcript verification service provider in the US. We will also be adding a full blown scalable version of the CV & Resume being recorded on the Blockchain where every line mentioned in the CV will be clickable and a link to that information stored on the Blockchain.
The complete Edubuk profile of the candidate on the Blockchain will have the following features recorded on the chain: 1.) Learning Medium & Resources 2.) Credits & Grades 3.) Academic Certificates 4.) Professional Certificates (Work Experience of Corporate) 5.) Subjects, Courses & Projects Studied 6.) Interests, Hobbies 7.) Online Education Courses completed 8.) Online Skill Based Courses completed. This dApp will have 2 layers: 1.) eSeal Layer: to Record the Certificates and Transcripts on the Blockchain: for University & Students and for HRs & Employees in Corporates. 2.) Verification Layer: to Verify the already stored Certificates and Transcripts on the Blockchain by University Admins or by HRs in Corporates. Once this profile is created (customized Edubuk profile for each candidate: freshers, students and employees), then we will use AI (Artificial Intelligence), NLP algorithm to sift through the Edubuk profile of the candidate having all the information about his/her academics, skills, credits, grades, previous employment history (if any) and then this information will be used to map it with the most relevant job openings out there in the market. Hence, each potential employee will get to see only most relevant job openings suiting his Edubuk profile and each HR in the corporate will be able to see only the most relevant candidate which matches the skills and requirements as per the Job Description of the Relevant Job opening. Hence, this will be an AI driven Transcript & CV Recording and Verification Protocol on the Blockchain.
