For workers
Paying agents just to get a job
Many workers pay middlemen a fee, with no guarantee of a job at the end.

Refer a Job. Ease someone’s stress.
Unemployment is rising, and behind every job search is a family under stress. You may know of a job that someone else needs – a shop looking for a helper, a site that needs workers, an office that needs a receptionist. If every person refers just one job a year, together we can ease the stress of unemployment in India.
🤝 Take the pledge: “I will refer at least one job every year.”
Be the first to refer a job from your area.
The problem
Finding work — and finding good workers — is still hard
Most blue-collar hiring still runs on word of mouth, middlemen and endless phone calls. Sound familiar?
For workers
Days lost going site to site
Without reliable information, workers spend days and bus fare looking for openings.
For employers
Calling around for one good worker
Employers depend on contacts and contractors while positions stay empty.
For employers
No idea who you are hiring
Without ID checks or references, every new hire is a gamble.
