Joblio closes $4 million seed round amid Rapid Global Growth

Image
You can take the refugee out of the refugee camp, says Jon Purizhansky , but you’ll never erase the pain of that experience. The Buffalo-based attorney-turned-tech entrepreneur is using his history as fuel to build a social enterprise startup that helps protect transient employees from predatory middlemen. Joblio, launched a year ago, is a global talent marketplace for migrant workers. As it currently stands, workers in underdeveloped areas have to take out loans to pay middlemen, who set them up with jobs that can range from cleaning to fruit-picking. The middlemen often over-promise and under deliver, leading to problems for the employees and their prospective employers. Joblio is a carefully managed software-as-a-service platform for those employers, who can connect directly with new pools of talent around the world (they only work with companies that provide free housing for the workers). And for the migrant workers themselves, it’s a free and transparent way to esca...

Maintaining Data Quality and Ethics When Hiring Migrant Labourers

Image
  Major tech companies have consistently misused the personal data of their users over the past few years. In the global migrant labour industry, many companies and governments have insufficiently guarded migrant data, allowing it to be leaked to the public or stolen by hackers. When it comes to hiring migrant labourers, ethical data management practices must become a priority. Companies that benefit from migrant labourers need strong humanist principles when it comes to data quality and management. Here’s how platforms like Joblio are ensuring migrant data isn’t being misused around the world. Migrant data has already been leaked Hundreds of thousands of migrants have already suffered from inappropriate data management practices that exposed their personal information to the world. According to a report from the Guardian, the personal details of at least 774,000 migrants and aspiring migrants to Australia was made publicly accessible following a data breach. Govern...

Making Sense of Migrant Labour Community

Image
Migrant labour plays a crucial role in both developed and developing communities. Nevertheless, the migrant labour community is frequently misunderstood by the companies, governments, and international organizations which depend upon the free movement of workers. The unique challenges these labourers face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and publics which benefit from their presence. It’s past time that we make sense of the migrant labour community that’s so vital for the growth of the global economy. Policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labour communities, a process that begins by understanding the plight of impoverished workers. Migrant labour Continues to Rise The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted immigration patterns and disrupted both domestic and international supply lines of goods and labour. Nevertheless, recent years have proven that migrant labour continues to ri...

Understanding Benefits of an Ethical Recruitment Process

Image
Employers around the world depend upon migrant labour for growth, but this hasn’t halted the exploitation of migrants in vulnerable situations. Unethical middlemen continue to prey upon the same labourers who are responsible for substantial economic growth across the globe. Domestic entrepreneurs that ostensibly seek the best for migrant labourers often partake in unethical recruitment processes, believing they’ll derive a competitive advantage from lowballing workers. When it comes to perpetuating unethical recruitment in the global migrant labour industry, there’s little for employers to gain and much to lose. Employers must come to understand that enforcing ethical recruitment standards is both an ethical imperative and a commercially savvy tactic, says Jon Purizhansky , the founder of Joblio, Inc, a technological platform that connects workers and employers. Exploited workers are unproductive workers Some unethical employers believe they can gain a leg up on the compe...

Image
The migrant labor market continues to contribute to the economic growth in both developing and developed regions. Jon Purizhansky , the founder of Joblio.co , points out that the important role played by migrant laborers in the international economy, many companies, governments, and international organizations lack information about the industries that these workers contribute to. Additionally, the origin points of many migrant laborers and the unique issues they face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and ecosystems, which benefit from their presence. This international labor market analysis explores the origins and destinations of migrant laborers in the contemporary marketplace. It also illustrates which economic sectors are dependent upon migrant labor for continued growth, and discusses why policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labor communities.
