I love the idea of a more secure and verified source of referrals. I am exhausted on a daily basis just trying to sort through the fake stories and accomplishments. Its great people can be rewarded and at the same time, help bring verified candidates to the block chain who need a reliable place to search for work.
I have to agree and when you flip this in reverse it's annoying being someone that has published their CV/resume online and are just waiting around like a potato for someone to contact them. At least this project seems like they have it all worked out with the idea of finding the perfect person for the job which means the employer gets exactly what they are looking for with little to no effort.
