Developing a Human Resource (HR) System with Blockchain and AI is a strong and future-proof approach—especially relevant for government and public sector systems like in Timor-Leste, where trust, transparency, and efficiency are critical. Below is a clear, practical, and implementation-oriented blueprint, aligned with what you’ve already been designing (HRMS, attendance, payroll, AI, interoperability).
1. Why Combine AI + Blockchain in HR?
Challenge in Traditional HR AI Solution Blockchain Solution
Manual HR processes AI automation & chatbots Immutable workflow records
Fake certificates / CV fraud AI document verification Verifiable credentials
Payroll manipulation AI anomaly detection Tamper-proof payroll ledger
Weak performance evaluation AI performance analytics Immutable appraisal history
Low public trust AI transparency Auditability & trust
2. High-Level Architecture
Frontend (Web / Mobile / Kiosk)
|
API Gateway (Django REST)

Interoperability (e-Gov / ASEAN)
3. Core HR Modules (Enhanced with AI & Blockchain)
3.1 User & Identity Management
Tech
• Django Auth + JWT
• Blockchain DID (Decentralized Identity)
Features
• Role-based access (HR, Employee, Manager, Auditor)
• Blockchain-based employee identity hash
• Immutable onboarding records
3.2 Recruitment & Verification
AI
• CV parsing (NLP)
• AI scoring & ranking
• Fake certificate detection (OCR + ML)
Blockchain
• Store verified certificates hash
• Candidate credential verification
• Prevent CV tampering
📌 Use case: ASEAN credential portability
3.3 Attendance & Timesheet
AI
• Face Recognition (FaceNet / OpenCV)
• Anti-spoofing
• Anomaly detection (fake check-ins)
Blockchain
• Daily attendance hash
• Immutable work-hour logs
• Dispute-proof records
3.4 Leave Management
AI
• Leave pattern analysis
• Abuse detection
• Auto-approval recommendation
Blockchain
• Approved leave record immutability
• Policy enforcement via smart contracts
3.5 Payroll Management (High-Impact Area)
AI
• Salary anomaly detection
• Overtime & allowance prediction
• Fraud detection
Blockchain
• Payroll smart contracts
• Immutable payslip ledger
• Audit-ready for Ministry of Finance
📌 Critical for public trust
3.6 Performance Management
AI
• KPI scoring
• Bias-reduction in evaluation
• Performance trend analysis
Blockchain
• Immutable appraisal history
• Promotion eligibility proof
• Transparent scoring
3.7 Training & Capacity Building
AI
• Skill gap analysis
• Personalized learning paths
• AI tutor (Tetum + Portuguese)
Blockchain
• Digital training certificates
• Verifiable learning history
• ASEAN-recognized credentials
3.8 HR Chatbot (Multilingual)
AI
• Local LLM via Ollama
• Tetum / Portuguese / English
• Context-aware HR assistant
Functions
• Leave balance
• Payroll explanation
• HR policy Q&A
4. Blockchain Design (Practical & Lightweight)
Recommended Approach
✔ Permissioned Blockchain
• Hyperledger Fabric
• Polygon PoS (private)
• Quorum
What Goes On-Chain?
Data On-Chain Off-Chain
Attendance hash ✅ ❌
Payroll hash ✅ ❌
Certificates Hash only File storage
Personal data ❌ PostgreSQL
⚠️ Never store personal data directly on-chain
5. AI Stack Recommendation
Function Tool
LLM Chatbot Ollama (Qwen2.5 / Mistral)
Face Recognition FaceNet + MTCNN
NLP HuggingFace
Anomaly Detection Scikit-learn
OCR PaddleOCR / EasyOCR
Forecasting XGBoost
6. Tech Stack (Aligned with Your Work)
Backend
• Django + Django REST Framework
• PostgreSQL
• Celery + Redis
Frontend
• Angular / React
• Mobile: Flutter (optional)
Blockchain
• Hyperledger Fabric
• Web3.py
AI
• Ollama (Local LLM)
• TensorFlow / PyTorch
Security
• JWT + RBAC
• Hashing + Encryption
• Audit logs
7. Governance & Compliance (Public Sector Ready)
• Data sovereignty
• GDPR-style privacy
• Audit trails
• Digital signature support
• ASEAN Digital Interoperability
