The main goal of the platform is to connect qualified specialists from BRICS countries with companies in need of talent. This is an initiative aimed at leveraging the extensive and diverse labor resources of BRICS countries to eliminate labor shortages and stimulate economic growth.
The platform aims to address several critical issues:
Labor Market Imbalance in BRICS: Some BRICS countries experience a shortage of qualified specialists, while others have high unemployment levels. The platform helps bridge this gap through cross-border employment.
"Virtual Brain Drain": Talented specialists from BRICS countries often seek remote work on Western platforms, leading to a loss of expertise in their own economies. The platform offers an alternative, preserving talents within the BRICS ecosystem.
Legal and Regulatory Barriers: Differences in labor legislation, tax systems, and regulations between BRICS countries can be complex. The platform provides a standardized base and support to simplify these processes.
Cultural and Language Differences: Language barriers and differences in work cultures complicate effective collaboration. The platform will offer translation services and promote intercultural understanding.
Financial transaction security will be ensured through:
Collaboration with recognized financial institutions approved by BRICS countries.
Integration with leading payment systems for fast and transparent transactions.
Ability to contract in local currency to reduce currency risks.
Multiple payment processing solutions to enhance reliability.
To protect user data, the platform will use:
Data encryption during transmission and storage.
Multi-factor authentication to protect accounts.
Secure virtual rooms to prevent unauthorized access.
Compliance with data protection laws of each BRICS country.
Threat monitoring to identify potential cybersecurity risks.
To remove barriers, the platform will offer:
Multilingual interface allowing users to interact in their preferred language.
AI-powered instant translation tools.
Resources for enhancing intercultural understanding.
Short intercultural communication training modules.
Trust will be strengthened through:
Verification of employers and performers using detailed data checks.
Rating and review system to increase transparency.
Quality control mechanisms to ensure service standards.
Insurance options protecting employers and performers from potential financial risks.
Platform goals include:
Forming a more equitable global labor market by creating opportunities for specialists from developing economies.
Minimizing "virtual brain drain" through competitive job offers within the BRICS region.
Improving education and skill quality through experience exchange.
Promoting sustainable development and economic integration of BRICS countries.
Reducing social tensions by creating new job opportunities.
By 2030, the platform plans to:
Register 10 million users.
Sign 2.8 million contracts.
Attract more than 500 major employers from BRICS countries.
The platform expects to become self-sustaining and recover initial investments by 2030.
