ServLance – The Myspace and YouTube for Freelancers
The current employment trends of the Y-generation of staying at a job for shorter durations, has made it a necessity for employers to be creative in finding and tapping into this new talent base. One company is making it possible for employers to find this talent. Find out how.
Melbourne, Australia, December 19, 2006 --(PR.com)-- In time for the festive season, all the way from the South Pole comes a freelance site modeled after MySpace and YouTube. ServLance is a radically different site enabling global employment and sale of freelance services worldwide.
Employers are finding it extremely hard to retain Y-generation employees for more than a few months thereby making global employment shift towards contract and part-time resources to just getting the work done for that particular project only. This Y-generation has an appetite for everything "fast" or "electronic" and grew up with text messaging, Nintendo and Sega consoles. They appear dissatisfied with the concept of the so-called "stable long term employment" especially after seeing their parents work long hours away from their families, with limited travel, only to see their jobs retrenched in favor of cheaper and low-cost offshore labor.
Gone are the days where employers are willing to pay a huge sum of money to search through a database to find part time or freelance workers. The cost of doing business on the web is coming down at alarming rates, making it possible to provide services in new and creative ways. Employers can search through ServLance for free and contact freelancers for job opportunities. Employers have access to freelancer's education, work experience, detailed skills, references and past employer's feedback.
One of the important aspects, most employers want to know is how this person worked in past employment stints. This is possible at ServLance with an online feedback system similar to that on eBay. People want to earn a good feedback rating as it is important for the next assignment. How many people are willing to do business with a eBayer who has had recent negative feedback?
"Employment in the future will be radically different from the way things are today," says Catherine Matthew, co-founder of ServLance.com. "Employment will be mostly project based, with a team coming together to accomplish an outcome and the team dissolved for new and more challenging opportunities. This is where ServLance is positioned to provide employers and freelancers a platform to connect. To enable this, ServLance provides multi-currency and multi-language support along with a state of the art search engine to find skilled talent for your project in a few clicks."
The demand for this service was apparent with over ten thousand visitors mostly through word of mouth flocking to the site even before it was up and operational. Not only can freelancers list themselves to be found by employers, they can also earn money through sales of ServPacks online. ServPack stands for "Service in a package," which are fixed scope service packages available for sale at a set price globally or at a specific location through a zip code. Visitors looking for services can browse through the ServPacks, purchase it instantly and have the service delivered in the duration specified. Payments are handled via Paypal, making it possible for a Russian freelancer to be paid in Ruble for services purchased in US dollars by an American.
With these tools there has never been a better time in history to easily find talent or find part time employment, all for free. And with a business model comparable to the likes of MySpace and Youtube, watch out for ServLance fast becoming the place where both employers and part time work seekers meet from all around the world.
