Summary

Labour-Net.com is a unique professional marketplace that allows individuals to promote themselves or their services with short descriptions and videos, offering a different take on traditional hiring methods. The platform is designed for staffing and service promotion, where users can register quickly and easily by providing basic information and uploading a video, and then search for service providers by occupation, engagement type, or distance. Recruiters or customers can view ratings and comments, add notes to posts, and contact the post creator via email. Labour-Net aims to provide an efficient and user-friendly alternative to traditional CVs and resumes, with features such as a quotation module and video call facility in development. The platform has gained encouraging initial response with 190 signups within seven days, highlighting its ease of use, practicality, and mobile-first design. Future plans include adding quoting, payment, and video conferencing features, specializing the platform for professional services, artisans, and education, and targeted promotions on social media platforms.
