Summary

We asked the founder of goodgigs, Dale Wilkinson, about building an app that connects companies and professionals to "combine profit with purpose" in the social impact industry. Instead of endlessly scrolling through job portals, goodgigs allows users to look for corporations that match their skills and vision quickly. Wilkinson is a social entrepreneur who has an extensive background in creative marketing and production. Bubble's powerful no-code movement gave him high confidence to build his idea without serious technical experience. Goodgigs is a platform that connects mission-driven companies with professionals who want to use their skills for good, making it easier for them to find jobs aligned with their values. The app features a main feed, user search and profile creation, and daily job postings in various fields, including design, marketing, tech, product, legal, sales, HR, and content. Dale built his app on Bubble without prior coding experience, citing the platform's ease of use and confidence it gave him. With goodgigs, users can easily find companies that match their qualifications and skills, and the company plans to add features such as community engagement and premium user profiles in the future. Dale aims to continue building a workforce that uses their talent for social impact.
