The digital era is witnessing an unprecedented surge in informal labor markets. With over 85% of employment in sub-Saharan Africa being informal, platforms like Doer by InfiniteUp are transforming the way workers connect to opportunities. As a bridge between job providers and seekers, trust becomes a vital currency. Here’s how Doer harnesses various technologies and methods to build trust, creating a secure and convenient environment for both job providers and seekers.

Clear Deliverables

Whether it’s repetitive tasks or specialized skilled services, defining clear deliverables fosters trust. Doer’s platform emphasizes detailed agreements that outline what’s expected, creating a transparent roadmap that all parties can trust.

Identity Verification

In a market where authenticity is paramount, Doer invests in identity verification. By employing methods like biometrics and ID verification, it ensures that users are who they say they are, adding a vital layer of security.

User Reviews and Multidimensional Scoring

Reviews and ratings offer a nuanced view of a user’s reputation. Doer implements user reviews and multidimensional scoring to provide comprehensive feedback, much like Amazon and Upwork. It’s a key part of building a community where everyone can make informed decisions.

Trust Signals such as Happy Clients

Numbers don’t lie, and displaying the number of satisfied customers and successful tasks builds trust. Doer leverages these trust signals to show its impact, and how it has created a hub where job providers and seekers thrive.

Smart Contracts (In Development)

Smart contracts are more than just digital agreements; they automate trust by enforcing terms automatically. Doer recognizes the value in creating transparent and tamper-proof agreements. This feature, currently in development, ensures that both providers and seekers have clear expectations and fair enforcement, aligning perfectly with Doer’s mission to digitize the informal labor market.

Escrow Services (In Development)

Money matters, and securing funds until agreed terms are met is essential in building trust. Doer is currently developing integrated escrow services that align with local payment systems. Once implemented, this feature will offer a secure way to transact that protects everyone involved and helps Doer serve as a trusted intermediary in Africa’s dynamic labor market.

Community Arbitration (In Development)

Trust is also about community. Inspired by platforms like AirBnB, Doer is actively working on a community-driven arbitration system to settle disputes. By encouraging neutral third parties to resolve issues, this feature, once complete, will enhance trust through community involvement, reflecting Doer’s commitment to connecting workers to opportunities in a fair and transparent manner.
