Singapore-based Open Campus, Vietnam’s L&A, and SKALE have signed an MOU to pilot credential-based job matching.

The initiative leverages blockchain technology to integrate verifiable digital credentials into recruitment, allowing candidates to share authenticated skills directly with employers.

Open Campus, a decentralized autonomous organization, brings expertise in blockchain applications for education and credentialing from its global network.

SKALE provides its AI-powered digital recruitment platform to enhance matching and screening efficiency.

Technology and Target Audience

The pilot uses blockchain-secured credentials to replace traditional resumes with validated academic and professional achievements.

Initially targeting high school and university students entering Vietnam’s workforce, it addresses gaps in skill verification.

Impact on Vietnam’s Evolving Job Market

Vietnam’s labor market is undergoing rapid transformation, demanding better alignment between education outcomes and employer needs.

By shortening hiring timelines and improving candidate selection, the pilot promises significant efficiency gains for recruiters.

Pham Thi My Le, L&A’s founder, emphasized that verified credentials offer employers reliable data while empowering applicants.

Jonah Lau from Open Campus noted Vietnam’s dynamic pathways as ideal for testing real-world credential workflows.

Success could pave the way for expanded adoption across Southeast Asia, building on Open Campus’ prior digitization projects.
