Data theft is very common nowadays because its easy to track people through their Social security numbers and other personal information that's up on the job portal sites. This is mainly one of the problem of many jobseeker some job portals don't have any security portal and all of the data can be dowloaded or copied by those ill minded people.
i agree but the main issure in othe job platform in Terms of agreement with them. We allow our data to be used by them. having that said they sold it to other company for surveys and so on. so trustlogic is builsd for the privacy of the applicant
It's not easy to track people using their SSN in the US. They don't give that out you know since that is their private information. Only banks get that from them I don't think they will want to join the system if it requires filling out the SSN.
Usually, when filling out forms, or for verification purposes, they ask only for the last four digits of the Social Security Number. That's the norm here in the US. Unless you are a bank or a government agency or government accredited agency, I won't give that information to you.
When applying for a job, you sometimes give it to them once you are hired since that is a requirement, depending on the state where you're in or the job you're applying for.
You`re right, it really depends on the requirements needed for applying a job and maybe trust logic is not needed like Social Security Number ( SSN ), if yes, maybe not all can actually provide the Social Security Number, because this project is not depending only one country it is for the community that all can be qualified to be filling out the system of Trust logic.
