Abstract
Blockchain technology offers several advantages to Human Resource Management (HRM); easier verification of job candidates’ education and skills, efficient recording of job candidates’ education, expertise, and training, easier payment of cross-border transfers, international expenses, and tax liabilities, elimination of fraud and improved cyber-security. An in-depth literature review was conducted followed by an extensive analysis of several blockchain HRM systems that resulted in the design of BC-HRM; a Blockchain-Based Human Resource Management system utilizing smart contracts. A test plan was devised for BC-HRM and 15 test cases were devised and tested by HRM employees to test both the functional and non-functional requirements of the proposed system. The evaluation results via the System Usability Scale (SUS) model showed an overall successes rate of 85%.
