Risk Of Fake Profiles In Social Networks And Freelance Platforms
In the United States alone, freelancers are expected to become the workforce majority within just ten years. Companies benefit greatly from these independent contractors, since it allows them to search for talent in all corners of the globe instead of being limited to their city. This is particularly true for companies searching for AI/IoT/blockchain developers, who can all do their jobs remotely. One of the biggest challenges facing companies when it comes to finding this valuable talent? The prevalence of fake profiles on social media channels and freelance platforms.
In order to cut out the aforementioned middleman, many companies will skip using recruiters and third-parties and search for developers on freelance platforms as well as social media channels like LinkedIn and Twitter. However, it’s only too easy to get scammed by someone who doesn’t have any true tech skills.
These candidates tout fake experience to match the needs of the company’s job listing or inquiry. They might also go as far as to use fake certificates in order to “back up” their skill set and put the company at ease.
The same goes for developers who are looking for valid AI/IoT/blockchain projects. With even more limited resources, it can be difficult to distinguish between a fake job listing and a legitimate opportunity. This can often lead them down a rabbit hole that results in no job, time lost, and potentially even stolen personal information. However, current technology has no solution for this issue, or sifting through the endless amount of fake profiles both for candidates and for companies.
How ECTA Helps
Until now. ECTA takes the uncertainty and guesswork out of recruiting high-quality talent in AI, blockchain, and IoT. They are developing an AI algorithm that will learn about the needs of businesses, as well as the skills of developers. This helps platform members find the best match in the quickest amount of time, eliminating the headache that often comes with the job/candidate search.
With a mission to discover mainly talents from low-middle income countries, ECTA also widens the pool of qualified applicants for companies. Idea holders will be able to tap into a vast range of global talent in order to fulfill their hiring needs and continue to innovate.
ECTA Tokens
ECTA SKILLS and PAY tokens are two ways that ECTA makes it easy to both source global talent and pay them. ECTA SKILLS tokens are given to developers after completing a task, and are a way to easily provide their skill set to future employers. These developers will also receive ECTA PAY tokens, which can be cashed out on exchange for currency. These fungible tokens take the guesswork out of paying international employees and let developers know they’ll be paid for their efforts.
