Utilizing blockchain technology for job hunting To proof experiment 16:35 on August 16

Universities and companies have begun demonstrative experiments that utilize blockchain technology for job hunting.
The data tracking function is used to prevent companies from obtaining student information without permission, and to enable students to choose the information disclosure destination and content themselves.

Major banks and insurance companies participate in the verification experiments conducted by Keio University, and system development is handled by venture companies in Tokyo.

Regarding job hunting, a problem last year was that the company that manages job hunting information sites provided personal data of students to the company without permission.

In the field trial, students will enter their grades and activities such as circles through smartphones, etc., and create a system for companies to browse such information.

Student data is distributed and stored on the net, and by combining the function of block chain data tracking and encryption technology, the students themselves disclose the information, the range of information to be disclosed, etc. So that you can choose.

It is said that companies cannot take out student information without permission, which leads to the protection of personal information.

This December, 5,000 students will start inputting information, and we plan to increase the number of participating universities and companies in the future.

Professor Teruo Nakatsuma, Faculty of Economics, Keio University, said, "We want to create a system that allows students and companies to match well."

In addition, Mr. Shigeko Onodera, director of Sumitomo Life Recruit Promotion Office, who participates in the experiment, said, “It is natural for students to decide how to handle their own information, and I hope it will be a good system.”
