Lifecycle Management of Resumés with Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials

Trust in applications is crucial for fast and efficient hiring processes. Applicants must present verifiable credentials that employers can trust without delays or the risk of fraudulent information. This paper introduces a trust framework for managing digital resum\'e credentials, addressing trust challenges by leveraging Decentralized Applications, Decentralized Identifiers, and Verifiable Credentials. We propose a framework for real-time issuance, storage, and verification of Verifiable Credentials without intermediaries. We showcase the integration of the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure as a trust anchor. Furthermore, we demonstrate a streamlined application process, reducing verification times and fostering a reliable credentialing ecosystem across various sectors, including recruitment and professional certification.
