What is JobShuk?

JobShuk.com launched in September 2007 with a simple goal in mind: to improve the financial situation of Israeli residents. To achieve this goal, we utilize Internet technologies to raise awareness and facilitate business connections with Zionists worldwide. We believe that a continued growth of International businesspeople based in Israel will not only boost the entire economy of Israel, but will act as a backbone to Zionist unity throughout the world.

Why outsource?

The decision to outsource is often made in the interest of lowering firm costs, redirecting or conserving energy directed at the competencies of a particular business, or to make more efficient use of labor, capital, technology and resources (Wikipedia). In my own words, outsourcing allows businesses of any size to take advantage of highly-skilled professionals for specific work without incurring the overhead costs of employing these professionals full-time. It's particularly useful for small businesses as it gives them access to great talent in a specific field, freeing up the business owners and employees to focus on what they do best.

Why Israel?

The alarming numbers of poverty, hunger, and unemployment in Israel are incongruous with the advanced, democratic, and technically advanced society which we are developing. The country-wide financial benefit of exporting the services of Israel’s unique population of educated, native foreign-language speakers is well-known.
If you're not familiar, Israel - the homeland to the Jewish people - has been attracting Jews previously scattered across the globe to return home since its renewal 60 years ago. While not yet at it's tipping point, immigrants in Israel (including 2nd generation) make up a majority of the population, and immigration is steadily increasing as conditions improve.
Immigrants, such as those from North America, speak English on a mother-tongue level, accent-free, and have a cultural knowledge that makes business and communication feel like you're dealing with the guy next door.

Why JobShuk?

JobShuk.com is a premiere Web 2.0 venture, with goals of expanding the client base of Israeli freelancers and service providers into the global market by creating an Online work marketplace.

Few organizations have previously exploited Israel's unique population, and has never been organized in a simple, user-friendly way for individuals and small businesses. The philosophy behind JobShuk is as follows:

  • Open Marketplace - Our system provides free access to all basic resources, focusing on spreading the benefits of employment to all.
  • Upfront Business Practices – To develop trust and buyer satisfaction, JobShuk encourages and facilitates personal expression, through business blogs and advice forums. The system demands upfront business practices, such as clear pricing and deadlines, and easy, open communication between the buyers and sellers.
  • Democratize Tools – Our site integrates many popular and useful technologies, making Fortune 500 tools accessible to the mass market, helpful in reaching and converting interested parties into satisfied paying clients.

Our Online marketplace anticipates both a seller’s market and a buyer’s market, and uses tools to take the buyer from the initial interest stage through the final payment stage of the transaction. Our  marketplace is based on:

  1. Trust – Both the buyers and sellers need a location to set up shop and establish presence and credibility. This is achieved via tools such as a fully customizable business card page, a business blog, and prior feedbacks and ratings.
  2. Relationship – Either buyer or seller can initiate contact by searching through seller profiles or bidding on buyer opportunity postings respectively.
  3. Tools - The project can optionally be managed through the site with messaging and final deliverable capability, where applicable. This keeps the data centralized to ensure that communication is not lost in the pipeline, and brings advanced tools to the small businesses who could never afford to develop their own systems.
  4. Community - Whereas competitive technologies limit communication out of fear that direct contact between the parties will bypass their percentages, we reward communication and community building, both within and outside of specific projects, with more exposure and better search ranking.
  5. Extras - For those who are looking for faster exposure, more advertising, and more technological features, we offer paid services to accommodate. These features will cover the costs of the free service, giving comparable advantages to both the well-funded organizations and the talented professionals.
