The online, independent professional has come a long way from being looked down and frowned upon as individuals who just can’t “hack” it together in the early 2000s, to spearheading a brand new, on-demand economy where contracted tasks and jobs can be executed by anyone from any part of the world. Buoyed by technological advancements, especially in the field of mobile computing, on-demand gigs have become one of the most respectable career path, making up an impressive 35% of the workforce in the United States. Gone are those days when “self-employed” or “jobbing” was a euphemism for unemployed. Now, it is associated with an unprecedented level of freedom, possibilities, and flexibility.

Ranging from taxi rides to auditing, gardening and home cleaning, companies and individuals are finding it easier and more cost effective to hire work-ready talents from anywhere in the world without increasing their fixed costs. For businesses, this enables them to adjust their staffing and business needs, channel their reduced overheads into profitable ventures, and enable them to work nimbly. For individuals, this means getting their job done with a more personal touch.

Studies have revealed that the independent worker is just as passionate and enterprising as the businesses they work for due to the fact that on-demand workers are their own bosses, solely responsible for their own failures and successes. However, work in the gig economy is currently regulated by centralized platforms that controls all interaction between the worker and their client.

These platforms are characterized by a lack of job security and labour protections. Workers may end up not getting paid for services executed and service seekers may wound up paying more than initially agreed upon. Various services and solutions have been proposed to address the issue and improve users’ protection, privacy and security, but none as groundbreaking as ConnectJob.

A decentralized Ecosystem

Difficult to earn and easily broken, trust is the foundation of any business venture, more so in a landscape where you are never certain who the person behind that display screen is. You are trusting whoever is at the other end of the screen to not only hold up their own end of the bargain, but to also be as efficient as they claim to be. For some companies, trust is a factor they just can’t afford to gamble.

ConnectJob is a blockchain-based, mobile application that connects the daily needs of users to highly skilled and qualified workers, known as Jobbers, to execute them. These jobbers have been rigorously tested and reviewed by local team recruiters to ensure a “best-in-class” service delivery for platform users.

Using the blockchain to incorporate and validate all interactions, ConnectJob is establishing a trustless ecosystem where data is immutable and information can be trusted. Users can verify the competence of any jobber based on job history, client reviews, and the jobber’s reputation on the platform. This trustless system also stretches to the smart contracts securing every engagement on the platform. Smart contract can be considered as the digital law for this blockchain ecosystem, serving as escrow system for every contract engagement for users and guaranteeing payment for services rendered.

ConnectJob is a truly decentralized platform that enables jobbers and service seekers to interact directly without the need for the chief cause of the traditional platforms’ inherent problems, middlemen. Jobbers’ privacy is one of the main concern of the platform and ConnectJob will be employing state-of-the-art proxy accounts and cryptographic techniques in protecting users’ data on the blockchain, ensuring that their private key can never be made known to any third party.
