The Challenge
The main challenge was to develop a solution that effectively connects job seekers with employers in need of short-term assistance, while considering the unique needs and preferences of both parties. Additionally, ensuring usability and accessibility were key considerations throughout the design and development process.
The Solution
To address these challenges, I conducted thorough research and insights gathering to understand the needs and pain points of both job seekers and employers in the gig economy. Leveraging this research, I ideated and planned the features and functionalities of the Skyv Mobile App, focusing on simplicity, efficiency, and user-centric design.
Key Features
Job Discovery: Users can browse and discover flexible job opportunities in their local area, with filters for job type, location, and availability.
Instant Matching: Employers can post job listings with immediate availability, allowing job seekers to find and apply for gigs at short notice.
Profile Management: Job seekers can create and manage their profiles, including availability, skills, and preferences, to receive relevant job recommendations.
Real-time Communication: Seamless communication features enable employers and job seekers to connect and coordinate details directly within the app.
Rating and Reviews: Both parties can provide feedback and ratings based on their experience, fostering trust and accountability within the Skyv community.
