“We are thrilled to receive not only valuable computing resources from IBM but to, as importantly, have its vote of confidence in our product. We can now advance development of our market-ready blockchain network which can be deployed securely onto any cloud,” said Armando Pantoja, co-founder and CIO, HireMatch. “This honor is especially meaningful as it allows us to play a role in supporting businesses in building effective teams in the face of a pandemic that has severely affected how workplaces function globally,” added Pantoja. “We believe in the power of the blockchain to help address challenges like those presented by COVID-19 and know it allows for creation of even more efficient processes and programs.”

HireMatch connects job finders and job seekers using the blockchain and is intent on revolutionizing the employee recruitment marketplace via its decentralized application. The blockchain's decentralized structure eliminates the instance of falsified credentials and automatically rejects sham entries to ensure fast and cost-effective hiring of the most qualified candidates via intuitive and advanced tools. Because all information is housed on a ledger across multiple locations, the platform is protected from power outages, security breaches and fraud attempts. 

HireMatch gives users power to try  ful tech for crowdsourcing, hiring and interviewing, according to its founders. Its agents post clients’ job openings to a broad selection of digital channels and forward only pre-qualified and verified candidates to them. Likewise, its software helps with scheduling and rating of applicants along with overall candidate management. Third-parties are even able to submit prospects directly to the applicant pool. 

“The IBM recognition for HireMatch checks a huge box for us and greatly advances our recruiting platform,” added Pantoja. “We are now well ahead in our progress due to the seamless integration of our business intelligence with IBM services.”
