Resumes over nostr

Problem: Employers want the best candidates, but get an overwhelming number of unqualified or underqualified applicants.

Candidate: wants the best possible job with the best possible company (think reputation), but is probably already employed because they are in high demand.

Employers never see the best possible candidate, and the best possible candidate does not apply because that process is stressful.

Solution: Resumes over nostr

How it works:

1. Anyone can create a nostr-native resume (new NIP).
2. This resume benefits from the Web of Trust score of the creator. Employers get a glimpse of whether this is someone who is in some way connected to people they know or follow (referrals are generally better than cold applicants).
3. Individual gets to put themselves out into the market without applying (think LinkedIn). Employers then search a pool of candidates based on their criteria. This could include a WoT score, shared working connections (new NIP could support this), skills criteria, etc… Let’s say I know Kieran and trust his judgement, and would like to know all the people he is connected to (maybe also dedicated some specific level of trust), who happen to have public resumes. I could then search for semi-vetted candidates.
4. Companies can send offers to candidates who may not even be available yet, but are possibly open to new opportunities with the right company, for the right compensation amount.
5. Companies also have profiles that benefit from their own WoT. (the more people follow them, the more likely they are to have a better reputation).
6. Public resumes keep candidates honest about their work history, education etc.. because anyone can verify that
