Building the LinkedIn of Web3 - Interview with Talent Protocol

Pedro Oliveira, CEO of Talent Protocol, shares how a decade in HR tech exposed a core issue: broken, unverified talent data. Talent Protocol set out to solve this by creating a professional reputation layer powered by blockchain—aggregating verified identity, skills, and contributions into an onchain profile. Its core feature, the Builder Score, helps communities, recruiters, and dapps instantly assess a person’s credibility as a builder.
The platform has evolved from early social token experiments into a robust ecosystem powering everything from AI talent agents to onchain reputation for hiring, lending, and discovery. Pedro reflects on surviving the bear market, launching on Base, and why Talent Protocol is building toward a future where every human’s onchain data becomes a usable, verifiable asset across the web.
What does it mean to decentralize talent data? How are builder scores and brain data reshaping hiring, airdrops, and tokenomics?
In this episode, Pedro Oliveira shares how Talent Protocol is revolutionizing talent sourcing in Web3, from launching the Builder Score to embracing transparency and AI-driven tools.
Discover why Talent Protocol is challenging giants like LinkedIn and leading the way in decentralized talent innovation.
