Next-Gen HRM: AI, Blockchain, Self-Sovereign Identity, and Neuro-Symbolic AI for Transparent, Decentralized, and Ethical Talent Management in the

Abstract

The integration of AI, Blockchain, Self-Sovereign Identity, and Neuro-Symbolic AI is 
transforming HRM, ensuring transparency, security, efficiency, and fairness. This paper proposes 
a hybrid framework for HRM, which is based on machine learning, cryptographic security, 
decentralized identity management, and symbolic reasoning for ethical talent management. The 
proposed system achieved 96.5% accuracy, 140ms efficiency, 4.5/5 security, 98% transparency, 
and 90% bias reduction, which outperformed the existing models. Comparative and ablation 
studies confirm its utility for preventing fraud, moderating bias, and ensuring secure workforce 
management. The results propel the notion of sensible automation for HR ecosystems alongside 
decentralized trust.
