We encounter different types of people all the time: introverts and extroverts, managers and employees, leaders and followers. In business, many talented people are passed on for jobs because they lack the energy to sell themselves appropriately.
JobShuk aims to accomidate to both types of personalities and open up a complete dialog between buyers and sellers. Our previous profiles directory allowed businesses to passively advertise their services, and then sit and wait to be contacted by a client.
Projects introduce a way for clients to describe what they’re looking for to the community at large, and allow businesses to submit a bid. This lets the client be a bit more passive and let the businesses compete for the project.
Projects have the following features:
- Include documents in the project description
- Extend projects within a day before/after the expiration date
- Include documents in the bid description
- Accept multiple bids
- Comment board for each project
To date, all correspondences between the buyer and accepted businesses are handled outside of the JobShuk system, as well as all invoicing and payments. Since we don’t demand percentages for making the match, you’re free to work out a payment structure on your own. Be cautious, though. Make sure the other party is trusted, or use an escrow or similar service.
Until the masses are checking the site regularly, be sure to let your friends know about current projects that would be appropriate for them. "If I am only for me, what am I?"
