Who benefits more from Blockchain Recruiting without middlemen: job seekers or employers?
Blockchain rapidly develops and updates many spheres of human life, and recruiting is not an exception. I analyzed many projects and their products, but not all of them are unambiguously clear, and it's not always clear whether someone will use this product/service at all.
But will employers do this themselves, or will they work through HR and other recruiting agencies?
Will blockchain be able to incentivize employers to work without middlemen and without overpaying third-party recruiters to find employees?
Will this trend of transfering online recruiting process to blockchain work at all?

In the context that you are looking at the use and implementation of the blockchain, I don't think blockchain is about putting some people out of job but rather making the process a seamless one than what is currently being witnessed. In the areas of recruitment, I don't see recruiting agencies put out of business because organisations hire them in the first place because they don't have the time to start scouting and screening pool of candidates to hire what blockchain would then do is to help the recruiting agencies do that job faster and be error free to a large extent in areas of certificates that applicants are parading.

Another reason why employers go through third party recruitment agencies is to reduce the cost of employee and attaching obligations that comes as a full staff but with being hired by third party firm to work for them, they are absolved of such responsibilities which I don't see blockchain eradicating.
