Inploy Freelancing Platform

Student Status

Abstract

As a country, Egypt has been a victim of many economic crises and social upheavals. After two revolutions, the future of this country and its youth is unknown. Aspiring to help the Egyptian youth, Inploy will help ease the process. Throughout these last four years, the unemployment rate decreased by only one percent from 2014 and 2017. Inploy will tackle this issue by offering new opportunities to those in need. As Egypt’s first online freelance recruitment platform, Inploy will targets two different types of users: firstly, the service providers who are searching for potential employers, or clients, and secondly the actual employers, or clients, who want to reach reliable and professional employees that will meet their needs. As such, Inploy aims to discover and attract new talents, freelancers, and small business owners providing a new online outlet, which will help them get exposure to employers as well as seek new job opportunities. Service providers or freelancers will have the ability to create their own personalized profiles on Inploy, sharing and showcasing their unique talents and different projects as a catalogue of their work, displaying their capabilities and skills in order to attain a new clientele or target market employers. Clients will have two different ways to hire these freelancers: either by first hand picking the actual service provider via browsing through all the different profiles, then sending them an immediate brief, or by posting an announcement for free, asking for a specific service provider to apply for; afterwards, the client chooses which individual is the best fit for their vacancy
