How do we balance automation with the human touch in recruiting? Is recruiting becoming more like online dating? Listen in and find out!

One of the biggest challenges when hiring a new employee is verifying their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Too often, a well-padded resume and a charming personality are enough to get the offer. Yvette Cameron and the Velocity Network Foundation are working to change that. Grounded in the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity and build on the foundation of Blockchain technology, the Velocity Network is designed to benefit employers with verified information about potential candidates while empowering individuals with the ability to control who, what, where, and when can see their professional information.

In this podcast, Rachael Chesley of Purchasing Power reveals ways to help workers -- and organizations -- swim through today’s financial waves.

Employees are likely to feel as if they’re drowning in financial stress, especially during times of uncertainty, and when unexpected costs come out of nowhere.
