BlockFuse

Inspiration

BlockFuse was inspired by the endless amount of talent we have seen in the web3 industry. The amount of individuals who are learning and growing in this area of technology increases at a very high rate. While discussing opportunities and the struggle to find the right fit for us, we had come to an agreement that going on web2 alternatives whilst working towards web3, was not optimal. That's where we decided to work on something that could address our concerns, as well as those of recruiters.

What it does

BlockFuse reinvents talent profiles with proof-of-skill badges and intelligently matches them with web 3 job opportunities. It revolutionizes the way recruitment works by making the job search merit-based, engagement focused, and inclusive. Whether you are a web 3 company looking to hire full-time or a DAO looking for strong contributors, our platform allows you to quantitatively view candidates based on their talent ranking. Recruiting companies can also partner with our educational organizations to design and curate technical challenges for candidates to complete. As rewards for completing these challenges, candidates earn proof of skill badges which gives them a competitive edge in the recruiting process. Candidates have a platform to consolidate all the aspects of the professional identity scattered in the metaverse (GitHub, NFTs, Twitter, LinkedIn). Candidates have the opportunity to view their talent score based on their proof of skill badges and be provided a path to improving that score. Candidates can participate in sponsored challenges from hiring companies that would put them higher in the recruiting pool. Educational organizations benefit by being provided the infrastructure to aggregate and mint their own proof-of-skill badges on our platform. In addition, they are rewarded when candidates who hold their proof of skill badges are hired. Educators strengthen the reputation of their curriculum by being ranked higher with the BlockFuse algorithm, thereby enticing more learners to take those courses.
