In the search for hiring the best talent, entrepreneurs have been so focused on who should pay that they missed the obvious reality: everyone benefits from each other’s contributions, so either everyone should pay or no one should pay, depending on how you look at it.
Boon Tech platform bypasses micro-payments completely because when an employer hires and pays a freelancer, all parties involved (the employer, freelancer and the community) get the benefit.
Participants offering a service (Freelancers), most often it is one which can be delivered online, will register as ‘Freelancers’ and offer their availability to do the specific skilled job. Participants seeking certain services will register as ‘Employers’, and will either contact ‘Freelancers’ through the search function or will find the category and skills displayed in the Boon Tech Platform.
What if users of the job market possessed a real stake in the networks they participate in? What if we could align incentives for all parties and create a network that naturally promotes behaviors that benefit all participants?
Bidding for jobs and setting requests for services will give both participants the ability to interact and find mutual agreements. The platform will provide a mechanism to ensure that, upon agreement, sufficient money is kept in escrow so the freelancers have a safety net as well as employers unless there are disputes, in which case the platform will offer conflict resolution methods.
With the issuance of the BOON Token (BOON), we create a Users-as-Stakeholders network, allowing the behavior of the platform to become aligned with the interests of its users. A benefit of this model is the network effects it creates.
Just as Facebook shifted our social attention to build network effects on its closed platform, the BOON Token will leverage our economic attention to build the network effect of an open platform. We believe that crypto economic systems will have even stronger pull than the social ones.
Our survival instincts, which heavily influence our economic interests, are stronger than purely social ones, thus leading to the faster adoption of cryptocurrencies as technologies.
The Boon Tech community provides the following services to its members:
A secure platform for freelancers and employers to find talent and jobs.
A means to get high-quality service and a committed user base.
Free payments.
Rewards for engaging in the platform (distributed as Boon Coins)
Boon Coin’s purposeful realignment of economic incentives has the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for everyone involved than the fiat freelancer platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, 99Designs, etc.
