Indian Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) provider Neeyamo has partnered with non-profit blockchain consortium Velocity Network Foundation. Among other things, Neeyamo offers background screening for recruitment and will be implementing Velocity’s Careers credentials blockchain technology in its service.

It is also a hassle for the prospective employee to find valid documentation of qualifications and provide papers that prove their employment history.

Velocity is pushing for the adoption of a token-based Career Wallet on blockchain, which would enable educators, HR firms, employment marketplaces, and other relevant organizations to issue, verify, and share career credentials.
