Blockchain/NFT-based hiring does NOT solve two big hiring problems
Excited about web3 potential for improving the world?
Including hiring process and better work experiences for millions?
GOOD. You should be.
Buuuuut ….
🧵 There are 2 BIG problems blockchain/NFT-based hiring can NOT solve:
1. Do your past proven on-blockchain credentials guarantee future performance?
NOPE
They indicate (some of) your potential. That’s all.
Key phrase there: SOME OF.
Jut because you did X well to someone else’s satisfaction …
Does not guarantee me you will do it to mine, tomorrow.
Nor does it tell me ANYTHING about what UNDISCOVERED AWESOME POTENTIAL you might have.
2. Do I the recruiter LIKE you?
Irrelevant for repeatable verifiable tasks, with no ego-level communication.
Not many tasks like that.
All others …. if I don’t like you, you AIN’T GETTING HIRED. Period.
Or I like you NOW, but you piss me off in the future … FIRED.
😃I remain excited about web3 potential for better hiring and better work experience. See Greg Isenberg’s great thread on Twitter:

But let’s be real:
• Technology solves gaps in human knowledge
• It does NOTHING for solving gaps in the human psyche
