Blockchain-Based Resume Verification App
✅ What is a Blockchain-Based Resume Verification App?
A decentralized application (DApp) that allows:
Job seekers to upload and verify credentials
Universities/employers to issue and sign those credentials
Recruiters to instantly verify resumes without third-party validation
This builds trust, prevents resume fraud, and leverages immutability of blockchain.
๐งฑ Tech Stack
Smart Contracts: Solidity
Blockchain Platform: Ethereum (or Polygon for low gas)
Framework: Hardhat or Truffle
Frontend: React.js
Web3 Interaction: Ethers.js or Web3.js
Optional: IPFS for document storage
๐ Core Features
Role Action
Candidate Upload resume, request verification
Institution/Employer Approve and sign verification
Recruiter View and verify authenticity
๐ง Smart Contract Structure (Simplified)
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
contract ResumeVerification {
struct Resume {
address candidate;
string ipfsHash;
bool verified;
address verifier;
}
mapping(address => Resume) public resumes;
event ResumeUploaded(address indexed candidate, string ipfsHash);
event ResumeVerified(address indexed verifier, address indexed candidate);
function uploadResume(string calldata _ipfsHash) external {
resumes[msg.sender] = Resume(msg.sender, _ipfsHash, false, address(0));
emit ResumeUploaded(msg.sender, _ipfsHash);
}
function verifyResume(address _candidate) external {
require(bytes(resumes[_candidate].ipfsHash).length > 0, "No resume found");
resumes[_candidate].verified = true;
resumes[_candidate].verifier = msg.sender;
emit ResumeVerified(msg.sender, _candidate);
}
function getResume(address _candidate) public view returns (string memory, bool, address) {
Resume memory r = resumes[_candidate];
return (r.ipfsHash, r.verified, r.verifier);
}
}
๐ฅ️ Frontend Functionality (React + Ethers.js)
✅ Upload Resume to IPFS
const ipfs = await ipfsClient.add(resumeFile);
await contract.uploadResume(ipfs.path);
✅ Verify Resume (by university or employer)
await contract.verifyResume(candidateAddress);
✅ Display Verified Badge
const [hash, verified, verifier] = await contract.getResume(candidateAddress);
๐งฉ Optional Enhancements
Role-based access control (Only trusted addresses can verify resumes)
NFT-based resume tokens
Timestamping credentials
Integration with LinkedIn or GitHub
Multiple resume versions or history tracking

๐ Example Flow
Candidate uploads resume → File is stored on IPFS and hash saved to blockchain
University/employer logs in → Calls verifyResume() on contract
Recruiter views resume → Contract returns hash, verified status, and verifier address
๐งช Test Case Example (Hardhat)
it("should allow uploading and verifying a resume", async () => {
const [candidate, employer] = await ethers.getSigners();
const Resume = await ethers.getContractFactory("ResumeVerification");
const resumeContract = await Resume.deploy();
await resumeContract.connect(candidate).uploadResume("QmHash");
await resumeContract.connect(employer).verifyResume(candidate.address);
const result = await resumeContract.getResume(candidate.address);
expect(result[1]).to.equal(true); // verified = true
});
๐ Deployment Ideas
Deploy on Polygon Mumbai testnet or Sepolia
Host frontend on Vercel, Netlify, or IPFS
Use Pinata or Web3.Storage for IPFS integration
๐ Final Tips
Keep UI simple: Upload, Verify, View
Include a verifier list to show trusted institutions
Document the project clearly in your GitHub README
Include a demo video or deploy a live version
