We find the Aworker project very promising, and see great potential in the platform being developed. Current schemes for interaction between candidates, employers and headhunters are often ineffective, and we agree that a plat based on blockchain could potentially solve the problem.

We look forward to further strengthening of the project’s marketing campaign. The team has already managed to raise funds during its private pre-sale, and we see this as an opportunity to strengthen marketing activities in order to increase the community's interest as the ICO progresses.

General information about the project and ICO:

Aworker is a next-generation recruitment platform based on Blockchain with an ambitious purpose to disrupt the HR industry. It changes the way of hiring employees via smart contracts.

Project Description:

An Aworker will be able to receive a reward for the recommendation each time his/her acquaintance gets a job at a company. The entire process will be open to an employee, and he/she will always be able to see the hiring stage. 

In this case, the candidate search process becomes P2P, where other network users look for worthy candidates to the company and recommend them. 

Recommendations of their acquaintances will create a pleasant and friendly team in the company. Everyone wins in this case. An employee helps his acquaintances, and the company receives recommendations from a trusted employee. Currently only employees of the company, recruitment agencies or headhunters can recommend their acquaintances to open positions. We want to expand these opportunities. Each person will be able to recommend his/her acquaintance if he/she understands that this person has all the competencies for the vacancy. An Aworker with a high reputation will be able to become a remote headhunter for companies that will recommend acquaintances for a particular reward.

Blockchain / DAG technology makes it possible to create a transparent and reliable system that will take into account the interests of all parties. Employees of the company often do not know when the reward will be paid, if they hire their acquaintance. Other people (not company employees) cannot recommend their acquaintances because there is no common and reliable platform. We want to make this process open so that each side has more detailed information to help make a decision.

Market and Industry Review:

Demographic trends largely affect the staffing market that grows as the labor force supply increases. A change in demographic transition can become a factor in dampening economic expansion and GDP growth, which in turn would cause a decline in the global recruitment market. The global recruitment market will be driven by factors such as declining rate of unemployment, increasing use of mobile platforms, rising industrial production, and increased volume of mergers and acquisitions in the industry.

Staffing/recruiting sales are highly correlated with the gross domestic product (GDP). As GDP expands, so does recruit market. The market is trending with the budding new business environment, the rise in foreign-born workers, rising staffing index, VMS & MSO usage, high demand for skilled and professional workers and accelerating job opening and hires. However, the market growth will be hindered by a decline in labor force participation, aging workforce and declining number of unemployed per job openings.

The need for recruitment services is often linked to the gross domestic product. As economic conditions improve and the demand for labor rises, the recruitment industry also expands.

The global recruitment process outsourcing market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.66% from 2017 to 2021, according to a recent report by Technavio, a market research firm. This report is based on in-depth market analysis and insights from industry experts.

Advances in technology create new opportunities, but they also open up new risks and problems.

Data security and privacy are key concerns going forward. Recruitment companies store huge quantities of sensitive data, including contact information, work history, and salary details. Security breaches could be devastating for recruiters and candidates.

Investment Risks:

The Aworker project is subject to the risks typical for crypto assets, but it has already overcome many of the specific risks inherent in early-stage projects. The project has a good team, partnerships, an Alpha version of a product, and it has already held the most part of a pre-sale. Not many ICO projects can boast of such a record in their resumes.

The competitive environment of course carries certain risks. Even without looking for direct competitors for the Aworker platform among ICO projects, recruitment solutions are quite popular. Since there is a struggle for one and the same audience, a lot will depend on the project’s marketing policy. It should be noted that the Aworker team understands this and is conducting an active marketing campaign.
