This has become a major part of an HR’s life and even a challenge for them to recruit the best candidate possible according to the skills, talents, experiences and also their management in the work area.
As quoted by Zig Ziglar, building and running the business is not enough it’s about how a work force within the organization is formed and worked properly to build up the business. Therefore, with the creative ideas of business a good work force is also needed to reach the heights of success.

It can be used to send, receive and record information and also helps in securing the transactions and to keep the sensitive matter private. This is used to create digital records which is nearly impossible to be hacked, replicate or misuse. These records are completed in a cluster of computers forming a chain which claims the security of records. The benefits of block chain in business are:
Recruitment is the term referred to the overall process of attracting, shortlisting, selecting and appointing the candidates who are suitable for the job within an organization. In the process of recruitment, the recruiters under goes pains in reading, looking and analyzing through the long resumes which is one of most difficult procedure involved in the course.
So, with the help of the new technology called ‘block chain’ presented as a new tool in their recruiting arsenal helps in securing the information like education, certification, work experience and applicant’s skills etc. and thus this information has to be approved by the person linked to the chain.
Secondly, once a candidate updates his/her information in the block chain it cannot be altered further which helps the recruiter to check the credentials properly in a secured way. This eventually reduces the chance of altering or faking of the credentials. It allows recording of the real history of the candidate.

As HR are the ones dealing heavily in personnel and financial and are at the risk of being hacked or tracked and therefore because of the block chain attributes it denies the cyber crimes to take place and secures the information and records.
