That is a good question!

The educational and recruiting market is huge, it would be strange if no one targeted it. First of all, there are such projects as BitDegree, EchoLink, ODEM and so on. Their goal is to store all the diplomas from people all over the world in the Ethereum public ledger — this is illegal in most of the countries including Russia and EU due to privacy regulations. There is also Sony Global Education project, based on Hyperledger, that aims on storing educational records in a consortium blockchain. This is a better solution, but it does not suit the needs of HR — there will be no opportunities for trustless validation of the certificates.

Contrary to the solutions I described, our project aims at providing both privacy and verifiability of the data. There is no existing platform upon which we can build such a system (neither Ethereum, nor Hyperledger really suit our requirements). That is why we are developing our own blockchain architecture.
