The traditional job recruitment process is time consuming and also undergoes certain difficulties such as data privacy, lack of transparency, and inefficient credential verification. These difficulties lead to mistrust and also delay the process of hiring. There is a need for improvement in this process that could benefit both the companies and the job applicants. In this paper, a decentralized recruitment platform based on blockchain technology is proposed. This proposed technique will overcome the above-mentioned difficulties by ensuring secure, transparent, and efficient connections between the recruitment companies and the prospective candidates. This solution uses the merits of blockchain i.e., immutability and automation to record job postings, applications, and hiring decisions on an immutable ledger, protecting personal data with cryptographic techniques and automating qualification verification with smart contracts. By implementing the decentralization concepts in Job recruitment, it is proven that the transparency in the interview process is improved by $\mathbf{9 0 \%}$ and fraud risks are reduced considerably. Moreover, the efficiency of the entire job recruitment process is improved largely. Thus, the decentralized solution proposed in this paper demonstrates its potential in revolutionizing the job recruitment process by providing a secure, transparent and efficient hiring ecosystem
