LinkedIn, Gamified: Calyptus Intros Job Hunting Incentives To Accelerate Web3 Recruitment

London, United Kingdom, September 25th, 2024, Chainwire

By earning points from connecting data streams like Github and completing skills assessments or references, candidates can increase their visibility with employers and enhance their prospects of getting hired.

Calyptus, the leading platform for Web3 job seekers, has launched a new points-based system to make job-hunting rewarding. It’s designed to incentivize both technical and non-technical job seekers to provide unique insights about themselves by completing their profiles, doing assessments and references, and aggregating valuable data streams to showcase their talents to prospective employers and ultimately making the interview process 4x faster

As job seekers rack up more points, they increase their visibility and reputation and significantly boost their chances of landing the right position to further their Web3 careers. Calyptus is the creator of this gamified talent ecosystem for Web3 builders, leveraging a combination of blockchain and AI technologies to help improve the prospects of Web3 job candidates by showcasing their unique skills, experiences, qualifications and data streams (like Github, Upwork & Fiverr) in a new way. For job seekers, it helps them to not just say, but prove they are world-class, by building trust faster with prospective employers. For companies searching for skilled personnel, Calyptus dramatically simplifies and accelerates the recruitment process by 4X through providing deeper insights on candidates that other platforms do not have.

Rewarding Job Hunters

With the launch of its new points system, Calyptus becomes the first Web3 hiring platform to recognize job seeker’s efforts, enhancing the employment prospects of those who do all the right things during their job search. The prospect of points incentivizes job seekers to build out their profiles and complete various tasks on the Calyptus platform, such as taking assessments to verify their skills.

The more credentials and experiences they can prove, and valuable data streams they can connect, the more points they’ll earn, helping them to rise up the ranks on employers’ shortlists, increasing their prospects of landing an interview and getting hired.

By gamifying the job seeking process, Calyptus is creating a fun and transparent hiring process that rewards those who make the most effort, while helping employers to identify talented prospects. Job seekers can earn points for completing a range of tasks, including:

Registering with the platform
Completing their profile
Completing technical assessments
Connecting social media & work profiles (like X, Farcaster, Upwork, Github)
Verifying their skills and work experience
Completing personality tests and non-technical assessments
Achieving milestones such as their first job application and getting hired
Social actions like connecting a wallet and joining Calyptus’ Discord channel

Users’ points will be displayed in their personal dashboard and on their job seeker profile, along with a list of activities they have completed that contributed to their score. Users can also view progress indicators and discover other opportunities to earn rewards.

The best candidates will be featured on the Calyptus Leaderboard, which will rank job seekers based on their points, creating a competitive environment that encourages further engagement with the platform. Ranking on the leaderboard means a higher positioning in the candidate pool, as well as special perks such as interview prep, career coach sessions and tickets to Web3 events.

Dan Jones, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Of Calyptus said: “Gamification is the future of hiring. Job search is not a fun process and the time-to-hire is getting longer for employers, despite so many talent solutions on the market. Using AI & gamification, we are able to gather deeper insights on candidates upfront, creating much faster HR processes and higher-conviction decisions for employers.”

Calyptus, backed by investors such as Paperclip Partners, Invicta Capital and angels from NEAR Foundation & Wintermute, have emerged as a leading player in the Web3 talent scene, expanding its community to more than 150,000 followers across Discord, LinkedIn and X. Using its platform, clients including Aave, Optimism, Aragon and Balancer have accelerated their hiring processes by up to four-times, while reducing associated costs by up to 66%.
