About TalentSnap:

TalentSnap is building zero-proof knowledge technology that will automate the hiring process. We are doing so by building Artificial Intelligence technology that will work on decentralized, encrypted, and verified data, while giving control and ownership back to the people. Our AI tech is based on a something we’ve built called FitScore, which analyzes thousands of indicators to determine perfect fit between candidates and employers. Bringing this technology on the blockchain will automate hiring in a very safe way that is beneficial to everyone involved.

Why Blockchain?

Shared: All players in the process have access to the ledger and its transactions. !

Distributed: The data is distributed across many peers. This ensures that hacking/ changing data on one computer will not impact the overall truth. As long as 50%+ of the nodes are unhacked, the truth is secure. !

Encrypted: The data is encrypted and secured by a sequence of private and public keys, ensuring that players outside the chain cannot view the data. Blockchain is the core technology behind Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. However, the use of this technology can also revolutionize processes beyond the financial transactions that cryptocurrencies support.
The decentralization of data and the efficacy of Machine Learning will empower people to connect to jobs globally in a safer and more rapid manner than ever before. In determining the non–functional requirements for the TalentSnap platform, we came to the conclusion that for achieving the best results, the platform needs to be decentralized. The platform should be stable and secure, extendable, scalable and it ought to promote an exposed arrangement for user motivation.

Current Problem:

As a society, they understand that Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence technologies can and will eventually automate the majority of industries globally. Companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft have access to immense amounts of data, and construct multi-billion dollar business models around people’s information. The more data you can feed AI models, the more purposeful they can become over time. The sheer amount of data these companies are processing, allows the aforementioned companies to be on the forefront of AI research. It’s quite frightening that these companies know more about than they know about ourselves. If this trend continues, AI models will become more powerful.

TalentSnap Solution:

TalentSnap’s platform is built in three Layers:

Blockchain Layer:

TalentSnap is building a decentralized P2P candidate platform built upon the Ethereum Blockchain. This will allow us to decentralize candidate data into the hands of anonymous nodes owned and controlled by the users. As a result, unlike centralized databases, there are no single points of failure due to the distribution of independent nodes. Within open distributed ledgers, we are able to encrypt personal information with strong cryptography, making these transactions permanently verifiable and immutable. These transactions will enable robust data integrity as well. Blockchain technology will allow us to give ownership and control of data into the hands of the people; thereby allowing candidates to share information to their liking, and to be rewarded with TSC tokens through smart-contracts for participating within the platform.

Artificial Intelligence Layer:

TalentSnap’s Zero-knowledge proof Artificial Intelligence technology is being built to automate the hiring economy for both candidates and employers. The algorithms behind TalentSnap’s AI technology revolve around our proprietary FitScore technology (more below).

Web Layer:
TalentSnap will present its technology in a clean UI. The user-facing component of our platform will take the Blockchain and Artificial Layers and present them in purposeful application format to end-users. The platform MVP is currently built on Javascript (React.JS, Node.JS), using MongoDB as a central storage. As we decentralize data, and scale for user activity, TalentSnap will explore Vue.JS, a high frequency backend such as GoLang, and decentralized databases such as BigChainDB.
