Solution Overview

Problem

The current hiring process has a low Shortlist to Hire Ratio (H/S), leading to inefficiencies and resource wastage, as most candidates fail to justify their resumes during interviews.

Innovation Solution

A skill wallet platform aggregates and authenticates tokens representing skills and credentials from various blockchain networks, determining compatibility with job listings and generating scores to recommend the most suitable job listings to users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional resume-based hiring process is used, then candidates can apply for jobs using keyword matching, but the Shortlist to Hire Ratio becomes low and hiring efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehiring efficiencyVSAvoidtime spent on unsuitable candidates
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual resume review process with an automated skill verification system using blockchain technology. Instead of hiring teams manually evaluating resumes, the system automatically retrieves and verifies skill credentials from blockchain networks, substituting mechanical human review with automated digital verification processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a skill wallet platform as an intermediary between candidates and hiring teams. This platform aggregates verified skill credentials from multiple blockchain networks and provides them to hiring teams, eliminating the need for hiring teams to directly verify individual candidate credentials and reducing time spent on unsuitable candidates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive skill verification is implemented, then candidate-job matching accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecandidate-job matching accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal skill wallet platform that can aggregate credentials from multiple different blockchain networks (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, etc.) through a single interface. This multi-functional system handles diverse credential types and blockchain protocols uniformly, achieving comprehensive verification without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The skill wallet platform serves as an intermediary layer that abstracts the complexity of multiple blockchain networks from both candidates and hiring teams. It handles the intricate tasks of retrieving, aggregating, and verifying credentials across different blockchain protocols, presenting a simplified interface while maintaining high matching accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If manual resume screening is used, then the process is simple to operate, but resource wastage increases due to low Shortlist to Hire Ratio

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational simplicityVSAvoidresource wastage in recruitment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service system where candidates automatically populate their skill wallets with verified credentials from blockchain networks. The system autonomously retrieves and aggregates credential data without requiring manual input from candidates or manual verification by hiring teams, reducing operational complexity while eliminating resource wastage through accurate matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback to hiring teams by presenting pre-verified skill credentials and compatibility scores for each candidate. This feedback mechanism eliminates the need for manual screening of unsuitable candidates, reducing resource wastage while maintaining ease of operation through automated decision-support information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A skill wallet platform retrieves and aggregates a first plurality of tokens into a first skill wallet for a first user. Each token of the plurality of tokens corresponds to a given skill of the first user. Then, the skill wallet platform authenticates the first plurality of tokens. Next, the skill wallet platform determines a compatibility between the first skill wallet and each job listing of a plurality of job listings. In an example, the skill wallet platform generates a score for each job listing based on a compatibility between the job listing and the first skill wallet. Then, the skill wallet platform returns a given number of job listings which are most compatible with the first skill wallet, where the given number of job listings are those job listings with the highest scores.
