Text Here for a New Job...
"There’s 4 billion people in the world with cell phones and only 1.5 billion with access to the internet. Over two-thirds of internet users in emerging markets don’t have computers at home. This means that traditional job boards have only exposed the tip of the iceberg in terms the opportunity. [...] Assured Labor is the first digital marketplace for jobs optimized for the way that people in emerging markets find jobs. [...] Entering Mexico after Nicaragua was the obvious next step. It’s a vast market, with 85 million mobile subscribers and only 30 million internet subscribers. Of individuals on the internet, only one-third has a computer at home. Add to that a young text-savvy population, high job turnover and our ability to leverage our great team in Nicaragua, and there you have it."
Great!
