Centralized platforms like LinkedIn and Yelp, have transformed the corporate world since they increase the connectivity between employers and prospective employees. Yes, users spend a lot of time on this platform, but curating their profiles and adding vital information and publications. It's undeniable that platforms like LinkedIn survive on the activities of their users. However, these platforms hoard any form of monetary incentives from getting to the users. Users are not rewarded for their data, which is used to drive the value of these platforms. In addition to this, there's no way of verifying the information submitted on the platform. It depends on the company to spend resources on finding out discrepancies in the resume of their prospective employees. Therefore, blockchain technology platforms like SpringRoles have been developed to tackle these issues.

   What is SpringRole

spring rolls were created to curb the inconsistencies and excesses surrounding falsified and incorrect resumes, and the lack of monetary gains for users. Since blockchain technology has incorporated a scalable solution where people can have a synchronized and immutable ledger, then it's possible to build a platform where people can have verified recommendations and resumes powered by blockchain technology.
Many companies follow the reference and attestation protocol before recruiting any individual. Reference checks involve checking the validation of the information on a resume by a prospective employee. Reference checks might include skillsets, educational qualifications, and specific projects. Therefore, SpringRoles is building a system for reference checks and attestation-based reputation network that offers incentives to both the users and attestation. This blockchain-enabled platform uses the SPRING token as it's the main mode of payment. In addition, users can interact with each other and the system through SPRING token. From the cost of attestations to referring, everything is dominated by the SPRING token.

   SpringRole's Attestation System

Attestation is verified recommendations that help users to get their preferred jobs. In fact, they are like extra credits on a professional resume, and SpringRole is projected to be a platform where people can acquire, share, and view attestations on their resumes. In Spring, a user's professional resume will consist of skillsets, educational qualifications, and work experience. You should know that each of these parts, once verified, will have their own attestation flows, which will be written on the blockchain platform. Any claims made by the user, in respect to employment and educational history, will be verified by the respective institutions and organizations through two-option attestation format. Verifying the claims of a particular skill set is always hard, and most platforms utilize several tests to gauge the level of proficiency in the skill. Most times, these tests are not a true gauge of the skill level. Therefore, SpringRole aims to solve this problem by crowdsourcing the user's reputation on a particular skill. Those on the user's network can endorse the skill level of the user, either at the user's request or independently. The Spring platform will calculate the user's skill set based on the number of people endorsing the skill, and the individual scores they compute for each skill.

  Types of SpringRole Attestators.

SpringRole's aims to build trust amidst companies and people. Therefore, it's attestation system is backed by an immutable ledger and reputation scores. The attestators in this case, are a certain group of users who will verify each claim made but by other users on their resumes.

   Companies As Attestators

Companies can attest to a previous employee's work experience when required by a new company. This type of attestation has more credence to it than most types of attestation.

  Individuals As Attestators 

Every user on this platform can also play the role of an attestator. They can endorse other members on this platform based on their skillsets. In addition to this, certain users like academic instructors can attest to completed projects done by their students.

  Universities As Attestators 

Educational institutions are very reliable sources of attestation, as they are regarded as being beyond sentiments. Educational institutions can attest to the claim that a member obtained the specified degree. They can even provide attestations to the duration and type of course studied.
Lastly, Course Providers like Coursera can provide attestations that a user completed a course or more on their platform.
