Human resources house Ranstad, which recently became global leader in the sector, has chosen to farther automate its workflow using a smart contracts-focused blockchain.

The firm's 40,000 employees will be using an enterprise blockchain solution from New York-based Cypherium, which has struck partnerships with major cloud providers Google Cloud Wing, IBM Cloud, and Amazon Web Services.

All of the paperwork-intensive processes involved in Hour resource allotment, Randstad revealed on February. 28, will soon be automated using the platform in conjunction with Google Deject.

Automating verification

Cypherium has a hybrid blueprint, combining ii consensus mechanisms: Proof-of-Work (Pw) and HotStuff (besides used for Facebook's Libra). This protocol, information technology claims, is highly scalable yet also preserves both privacy and decentralization. The platform uses a Turing-complete virtual machine written in Java to run its smart contracts.

Randstad expects that using the blockchain will greatly reduce human error and save time, particularly when information technology comes to key bureaucratic tasks involved in Hr work — payments, as well every bit verifying academic and professional qualifications and personal identity information.

Verifying this data volition rely on cooperation with official sources, such as public regime, who will demand to publish hashes of digital certificates onto the Cypherium public chain.

To safeguard individuals' privacy, Cypherium'south arroyo will combine cryptographic hashing, metadata and a system of digital signatures that can remove the need to shop the sensitive data itself. It too incorporates a Decentralized Identifiers standard to farther protect users.

In a statement, Randstand'south global collaboration manager, Frank van der Bijl, said that above all the firm wanted to observe an like shooting fish in a barrel solution:

"Google Compute Engine and the Cypherium blockchain have proven the ideal combination for us. Both tin be accessed with a few clicks; at that place's no need to worry about edifice everything ourselves, installing other apps, or maintenance."

Terminal fall, Large Iv audit house Deloitte integrated a privacy solution from cryptography startup QEDIT for its own blockchain platform, Eduscrypt, which is designed to enable organizations to track, share, and validate staff qualifications.
