Abstract

This research paper explores Blockchain (BC) technology-based identity verification's role in streamlining and securing the employee onboarding process within Human Resource (HR) management. It addresses this technology's potential benefits, challenges, and limitations in enhancing HR practices. This study is grounded in the theoretical foundation of BC technology and its applications. It examines existing identity verification systems in HR management and delves into the potential implications of adopting BC-based solutions. This research employs a comprehensive design encompassing a discussion of the background, research problem, objectives, and significance. A detailed overview of BC technology and its applications and an analysis of existing identity verification systems are presented. The study employs a well-defined research design, including a sampling strategy, sample size determination, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. The study's findings reveal that BC-based identity verification has the potential to streamline and secure the employee onboarding process in HR management. However, the investigation also identified scalability, interoperability, and data security challenges. These findings contribute to understanding the feasibility of adopting BC technology in HR practices. The study informs HR managers and BC developers on the potential benefits and hurdles of implementing BC-based identity verification, enabling them to make informed decisions.
