Blockchain technology is an innovative technology that has grown in prominence in recent years that will certainly regulate the development of our network society in the upcoming future. Blockchain technology has received increased care and interest from both academic and general practitioners across the world. Various research articles have been written on the approach, how blockchain technology works and its possible applications in different industries, governmental authorities, etc. Nevertheless, there are no conducted studies that have focused on the usage of blockchain technology in the recruitment process of people of determination (disabilities). This paper aims to establish a POD (People of Determination) platform model. The aim of the model is to support the recruitment process of people of determination (disabilities) by enhancing the chances of them who were hired in different types of United Arab Emirates organizations. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has been conducted on the usage of blockchain technology in recruitment process of people of determination (disabilities). This research paper will therefore aim to contribute to the existing literature about blockchain technology and recruitment process by providing a proposed model on how to implement the process.
