With the global meltdown affecting American families hard, unemployment
climbing rapidly and virtually everyone knowing someone out of a job, many newly unemployed are left wondering what to do and where to go to find work now.

That’s where Vois.com comes in. Vois is a web-based hiring/job service that
helps people find or offer immediate work. Vois’ social networking platform
provides the solution. Members of Vois can either, Post Work, Find Work or
Network. Vois builds upon the concept of Outsourcing once done only by
large-sized companies having the sophistication and resources to shift factory and office work to locations where labor costs were lower. Vois enables job seekers to openly bid for work just by searching through project listings that include specific requirements, pay and estimated time commitments. Once a match is made, the job seeker is hired. Vois takes out much of the guesswork about dealing with distant strangers because the service providers are ranked and graded by past customers.

For employers, Vois is a cost-cutter. Vois.com gives small businesses and
entrepreneurs the ability to assemble and manage teams of workers anywhere in the world, providing lower-cost, skilled labor. Vois works especially well for small-business owners who need professionals for specific, short-term projects.

The secret of success for Vois is it allows employers to draw from a deep
talented pool of people worldwide. With Vois, businesses can socially source
from a world of experienced professionals for temporary or permanent jobs with professionals capitalizing on the freedom and flexibility to do top-rated work from home, or anywhere with a computer. In the process Vois allows individuals and small business to scale up and scale down according to their needs. .

“For me its about having people become their own brand”, stated Gary Schultheis, Co-Founder of VOIS. “In the past we were all told ‘work hard for corporate America, put in your time and corporate America will take care of you’. As we are seeing with massive corporate layoffs recently, that is no
longer true. Vois has the ability to let you promote yourself, and build an online reputation with feedback. Your brand is something you have and own, and corporate America can never take that from you.”

How Vois works

• Buyers post job requirements. These are individuals or businesses looking to purchase services like programming, marketing, data entry or customer service.
• Freelance service sellers post their profile containing professional
  qualifications along with examples and references.
• Buyers and providers negotiate via e-mail and other long-distance
  technologies and settle on a contract.
• Service buyers and providers get to rank the other, providing feedback.

Vois “Freemium”model offers a free version of its website and is
supported by paid credits of frequent users. The model uses free as a form of
marketing to put the product in the hands of the maximum number of people converting a smaller number of people to paying customers.

Herb Tabin, Co-Founder of Vois, stated “I believe we give people a lot of opportunity. We want to provide people with the opportunity to work from home or anywhere, using Vois’ flexible online work environment, so that they could improve their quality of life, and stop commuting to work. With today’s technology there is simply no need for most people to commute to an office. As long as the service they provide can be performed virtually, such as accounting or legal, being a virtual assistant or web designer, it seems antiquated to go to an office. If you can provide a service someone wants on Vois, there is an opportunity to find work immediately.” “The ability to find professional services in this way opens up more opportunities for me to grow my business,”
