Peoplewave is placing HR on the Blockchain

Wavebase from Peoplewave is looking to bring HR out of the dark ages and revolutionise recruitment, background checks, onboarding, performance reviews and people management by utilising blockchain technology.


 

Two things that blockchains are really good at are transparency and immutability, something sorely lacking in the world of human resources. According to international research 56% to 85% of people lie on their resume. Some of these are small lies to perk up an otherwise boring CV, while others are outright made up job positions and performance claims.

HR departments spend a lot of time doing background checks and verifying claims job applicants make on their CVs and this is a great example where Peoplewave offer an attractive alternative with their blockchain based Wavebase platform.

Wavebase will allow Peoplewave to dramatically transform the HR industry by establishing a distributed database of accurate and verified performance and employment information on the blockchain.

As a result, employers will possess an unprecedented ability to evaluate a potential candidate based on actual, verified credentials and past performance, or even utilise the information right from the start for targeted searches of suitable candidates. In addition, for the first time, employees will get to own and take control of their performance data, even after they leave the company.

Peoplewave use cases

Currently the HR industry is worth around US$550 billion globally and is ruled by industry dinosaurs such as SAP, Oracle and Workday. Wavebase will allow Peoplewave to completely disrupt this outdated industry across the entire spectrum from pre-employment screening, background checks to recruitment and talent acquisition.

Company Introduction

The company is based in Singapore and has been operating since January 2017. They have an impressive team of senior leaders with deep industry experience and impressive business accomplishments.

Something that we like to see from any ICO is a minimum viable product and a successful track record. Peoplewave delivers on both counts as they already have existing commercial products – the “First 100 Days”: a new hire onboarding tool and “Performance Wave”: continuous 360-degree performance appraisals, which you can download and test for free over at peoplewave.co. Peoplewave also boasts a robust customer base of over 450 businesses, that’s growing every day.

Currently Peoplewave has 19 team members in 4 countries with experience in technology, development, marketing, product management and user experience.
