Abstract
We introduce a blockchain based system of verified education, skill, and career information for individuals. The EchoLink System stores professional and other related information in an unalterable format on blockchains. The EchoLink System supports and provides access to multiple public, alliance, and private blockchains. All information is provided by trusted information authorities. The system saves businesses and other entities time and financial resources in recruiting, admission, vetting efforts while providing easy access to a pool of vetted candidates. The EchoLink System can be further extended to provide verified information in addition situations and industries, such as banking, finance, and insurance.
