WHO ARE WE?
Jobs Done Network is a social network that connects volunteers with people who need jobs done. It is a site for individuals who are willing to offer their time and services to those in need.
Jobs Done Network was born over a weekend at the Innovation Centre, University of Canberra. The Jobs Done Network team is made up of individuals from various backgrounds and experience, ranging from marketing and finance to technology and legal.
THE MARKET & OUR CUSTOMER
Current online search results for volunteering are populated by organizations coordinating volunteer positions. These organizations address a specific need to find volunteers for specific jobs. However, there is a vast amount of untapped volunteer resources that are not utilized due to a mis-match of volunteers’ availability with the job at hand. This means that if a volunteer is not available during a certain time, their willingness and resources go to waste.
Jobs Done Network offers a space where volunteers can post their availability, skills and services to be utilized at a time that suits them. It also is a space where those in need can post a job that they wish to be completed, but do not have the time, skills or resources to get it done.
Jobs Done Network cuts out the middleman in micro volunteering and matches up individuals on a personal level. It is a consumer generated content-based site where individuals can source help or offer it.
MARKETING & COMPETITION
The volunteering space is currently dominated by organizations coordinating volunteers. For those looking to give back to the community on a personal level, there is a void in the online search market to offer skills and services on an individual level. For those looking to solve a problem or require the skills of someone more qualified, the Jobs Done Network provides a forum where those people can list their job, to find a volunteer that matches them. This type of service is not currently available in Australia.
BUSINESS MODEL – MONETISATION
The Jobs Done Network is a space where advertisers can provide solutions to consumers with specific needs through targeted advertising. Not only does this space provide profiled consumer content, it also is a space where recruiters can find candidates that match their skill requirements. This means that a broad yet profiled target market will encourage a variety of advertisers to utilise the site.
The JobsDone Network connects willing and able local volunteers with people who need jobs done.
