As blockchain and the crypto sector have evolved, it has become ever clearer that these will be among the foundational technologies of Web3.0. New decentralised services are now being launched that leverage blockchain\u2019s advantages for mainstream use cases.<\/span><\/p>\n The HR sector has been one of the earliest beneficiaries of this movement, offering one of the first examples of how blockchain and crypto can offer a more efficient and effective basis for building online applications.<\/span><\/p>\n Blockchain technologies share a number of features that offer intrinsic benefits to the HR industry. As decentralised, shared ledgers, public blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Tron are:<\/span><\/p>\n This combination of features enables the creation of software with functionality ideally suited to HR applications:<\/span><\/p>\n Over the last two years, blockchain and cryptocurrency have rapidly gained traction as means of organising work and accepting payment. This adoption has largely been driven by the coronavirus pandemic, which saw not only a change in working patterns due to lockdown and furlough measures, but an interest in alternative assets prompted by skepticism about conventional economic policy, as central banks embarked on large-scale money printing.<\/span><\/p>\n As more people sought freelance opportunities, and realised they did not have to work for businesses in the same country as they live, cryptocurrencies met a demand for efficient, global payment systems. The traditional banking and money transfer industry is poorly-suited to moving cash around the world. Long delays and high costs are the norm, making smaller payments uneconomical. Many people are excluded from using these services due to a lack of banking facilities, or policies that prevent access by people in certain countries, through no fault of their own. Crypto payments neatly circumvent these problems, enabling fast, low-cost payments to anybody, no matter where they live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As crypto gained popularity and the threat of inflation grew, an increasing number of high-profile figures opted to receive payment in crypto, further boosting the legitimacy of this new asset class:<\/span><\/p>\n Many other NFL and NBA athletes have followed suit, but it\u2019s not just sports personalities who are taking an interest in crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n New software platforms are coming online to cater to this new demand for crypto salary payments and blockchain HR processes. Notable examples include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bitwage<\/b> provides crypto HR and payroll services. The service enables individuals to receive part of their wages as crypto, and for companies to settle invoices in crypto \u2013 ideal for organisations working with freelancers around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n Ispolink<\/b> is an AI-powered platform that uses blockchain to connect prospective job candidates with employers, collecting and filtering information to match open positions with the most suitable applicants, with no third parties involved. The solution is primarily used to source talent across the Web3 and DeFi space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Chrono.Tech<\/b> is a Sydney-based company that uses blockchain to address the inefficiencies of the HR sector. Its freelancer platform, <\/span>LaborX<\/span>, uses smart contracts to enable employers to hire freelancers for an off-the-peg \u2018Gig\u2019 or custom job, paying the agreed amount automatically in cryptocurrency when tasks are completed. The company also developed <\/span>PaymentX<\/span>, a payroll solution that integrates with accounting processes, enabling businesses to settle invoices in crypto automatically, avoiding human error.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As the so-called gig economy grows, and crypto assets become more popular, it\u2019s reasonable to expect a significant proportion of HR activity to move onto these and other blockchain-based platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Can Blockchain Offer HR?<\/span><\/h1>\n
