Last summer, MIT ran a pilot program creating verifiable, tamper-proof “digital diplomas” for a small number of graduates. But they don’t know how the pilot turned out, and there’s a lot of experimentation underway. Eventually, all your credentials — resume, employment history, occupational licenses, diplomas — may be in a blockchain. The use of blockchain enabled digital credentials is growing. This could speed employment verification, and make lying on resumes harder.
The article points out that while a number of universities are exploring blockchain, MIT “has not heard of a case where a student’s digital diploma was either consumed or accepted by an employer,” although “Many certificates were verified…”

“MIT’s pilot illustrates the state of blockchain in HR. It is in a beta, proof-of-concept, experimental phase. Blockchain verification is currently not a practical option for employers and recruiters.”
