Job phone won’t ring if it ain’t got that Ding

“Wanted: almost everyone”, Sunday Times’ The front page title screamed a few weeks ago.

Since the unemployment rate of Western Australia is less than 4 percent in 39 of the previous 41 months, we seem to be in complete employment; And employers commemorate skill scarcity.

Indeed, as the article reported, “surprising number of work [have been] Wa was begging for more workers and left empty for at least four years. ”

Employers spend a lot of time to attract the right staff and train them, often to see them boiled by someone else.

In the meantime, on the other side of the market, we hear that job seekers need to grind 100 or more, perhaps without occasional interviews, without any job guarantee.

Obviously, the business market does not work efficiently for everyone. Various technology solutions came and went in this area.

The search for a category killer on the ASX list continues to dominate the field, but only 30 percent of the existing jobs are announced, the network gap fills the best way.

Imagine how difficult this is for the fast -moving hospitality sector and people are trying to find a change in a short time; Usually overnight. A few initiatives tried to deal with this problem.

Quickshift, Flexistaff, and Indeed, some options, but there is not much work in Perth.

Simple business boards (such as Seek) cannot react quickly to fill short -term positions.

With the tables waiting for years of experience, former marketing student and journalist Neelam Dajee put his mind on this dilemma.

“My customer interviews showed me that finding qualified personnel was the main problem, Da said Dajee Business news.

“Business boards do not solve. It is an existing veterinary talent pool that restaurants need, ready to work. Now.”

At first, Mrs. Dajee thought that it could be an application, but after gaining a place in the last Launchlab AI program that ended Bloom’s exhaustion in Crawley, he realized that he could start a simpler, faster version to test the market.

“I managed to start my first product in the third week of the program, and I was the first to win,” Dajee said.

Those who seek daily jobs or short -term personnel, called a simple Google form and called ‘Dink hospitality’, which he calls ‘ding’ when something matches.

“There is nothing except for some Facebook pages on Perth. What makes Ding different is that all applicants are controlled and experienced,” he said.

A advertising publishing price on the platform is kept low and despite marketing expenditures, the rate of user has increased five times since its release last month.

Dajee said, “At the beginning it gave me a completely new perspective and appreciation for the solo technology founders who had to do everything without a minimum of technology founder,” Dajee said.

Since then, Kyle Newman, a technical partner of the United States, England and Australia, has been an experienced software developer working with beginners.

Dajee said, “Kyle’s experience of machine learning and experience as a full heap engineer will be effective in bringing Ding to the next level, Da he said.

“He had his own disappointments about the current recruitment and recruitment processes, so he brings his own passion to the project.”

Obviously, Mrs. Dajee is at the beginning of this first attempt. But at the same time, a few years ago, a university student ‘Hospo’ shift workers thinks that he has come a long way.

Orum I often go back to those days… He struggles to hire people, working six days to cover the shifts in the cafe, ”he said.

“I also think of my desperate version of the version that wanted to make some money before traveling, but my job at that time could not offer me any more hours around my Uni program.

“Dink would be incredible at that time. Dink is not just a platform, I wish I had the solution I have and now I’m building it for everyone who needs it.”
