About This Episode

They discuss TalentLayer, which is a low-level protocol for work that aims to solve the issues associated with traditional hiring platforms, such as liquidity fragmentation and captured reputation data. The team explains the architectural design of TalentLayer, including its smart contracts, indexer layer, and interoperability features, as well as its long-term roadmap which features items like private profile data and referral systems.

4

TalentLayer provides an indexer layer and open-source frontend code to allow marketplaces to quickly integrate and build their own decentralized hiring products.
