Inspiration

Talent and companies both express deep frustration with legacy hiring practices and existing Web2 platforms. We are utilizing blockchain technology to create a new user ownership model, increase engagement and improve user experience on both the demand and supply side of the talent marketplace. Our plan is to start with the blockchain industry. There is high growth and a lack of purpose-built solutions.

What it does

Talent login with Metamask, and receive tokenized incentives for completing their profile and verifying their credentials, namely education, and experience. Further, they can earn NFT certificates for completing courses and code challenges. Recruiters and hiring companies can purchase tokens for fiat and use that to post jobs. Kelsa helps them quickly assess the quality of candidates. For the hackathon, we developed a set of basic tasks - users login, receive tokens for completing part of their profile, can view their public profile, can post jobs, and view them on a job board.

How we built it

We used Dfinity to store all platform information and created DIP20 standard Kelsa tokens. Our reward smart contract on Dfinity distributes DIP20 tokens when a section of the profile is completed. Inspired by The Wall, we also implemented Metamask and ICP authentication. We'd like to develop a shape shift contract that swaps DIP20 to ERC20 Polygon Kelsa tokens.

Challenges we ran into

We spent a lot of time trying to strategize fraud checks in our reward smart contract and how to import NFTs from the wallet to the profile.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have been able to fully deploy a ReactJS based platform, reward smart contracts, and DIP20 tokens with Motoko and Dfinity without the need of any cloud provider!
