Panel Discussion: From Verification to Employment: How Technology is Enhancing Talent Screening and Onboarding ?

This panel discussion explores how the shift to a skills-based economy impacts hiring, onboarding, and employee development. Despite advances in HR tech, verifying employment, education, and credentials is still often slow and manual. We’ll use real-case examples from Randstad, AON, and Rabobank to show how trusted frameworks for sharing career records are solving these issues. 

Our panelists will share their experiences using verifiable digital credentials to accelerate hiring, enhance compliance, and empower candidates to manage their career data. And we’ll examine how this tech is transforming reskilling efforts and workforce re-entry programs.
