Automated technologies like machine learning and robotics are becoming integral to our daily life, taking over functions traditionally attributed to human agents. However, despite Manichean concerns about the purpose of these automation, there is no denying the ease they have brought to their functions.

“Machine are rapidly replacing humans” says Yoni Assouline, co-founder and CEO of ConnectJob, “and they are getting the job done cheaply”

Man vs The Machine

Trading AI can compute billions of dollars worth of trade and act on the most suitable scenario in a fraction of a second without the dreaded ‘emotional quotient’ inherent in man. Production line robots can assembly and package just about anything that has been programmed into their protocols without supervision.

“As I’ve said before, human are being replaced by machines” Yoni reiterates

Automation is bound to eliminate a few occupations within the next decade and will certainly impact greatly on the labor market.

“This is why, for example, some EU-based countries are working on a ‘universal income for all’. But I’m not certain this is going to happen”

As head of marketing development, in charge of worldwide application deployment and ensuring the daily business activity, Yoni Assouline’s playground is the global labor market. His intricate understanding of market dynamics and unique insight into how individual components plays off each other, has bestowed on him the ability to see the faults in the system.

“Well the problem with current labour market is very complex and fragmented, but when you boil it down, it comes to one thing; the human factor”

Of Cogs and Wheels

As humans, we are constantly being bombarded by what we see, feel, touch, and sense. These stimulus pushes and pulls us in all directions. Our decisions are based on how strongly a certain push or pull is.

Not so with machines.

Machines can take and process data faster than we can and are capable of learning much faster than we are. They do not require sleep or nutrition the way we do, enabling them to work round the clock. Their ever expanding memory capacity allows them tap into required information instantaneously. Who wouldn’t want to hire such an employee and when that happens….

“Well think about it. You play the guitar and you just lost your job at the plant. But you can teach music. How to find a pupil? And how a pupil will find you?”

Man or Machine

Despite the advantages automation brings to the table, humans still remain superior to machine in many ways. While machines may multitask and run parallel processes without missing a beat, they lack judgement, instinct, and that creative trait that make humans highly versatile. Nor do they possess the innate ability to create the way humans do.

But what if man and machine can coexist? What if automation can help man eliminate that “emotional quotient”, enabling us make smart decisions and securing financial engagements.

“We need to help people to monetise their skills and to earn a decent living. ConnectJob was developed for this purpose”

ConnectJob: Man and Machine

Leveraging blockchain technology and smart contract automation, ConnectJob is facilitating a new wave of peerless service engagement.

“The concept is to connect jobbers around the world and service seekers and service seekers in their location. Using geolocation, users will be able to find you, to read about you, book your services and to pay for it using cryptocurrency. Those awesome guitar riffs you’ve been making may be all you need to make your living. Can a machine shred like that?”

ConnectJob tested the alpha version of its platform in Odessa, Ukraine for three months. The test focused on the dynamics of the booming tourism industry. The result was positively overwhelming. ”This test was so interesting. We’ve learned so much about what we did right and how to improve. We are now 100% ready to start global deployment”

And ground zero for global deployment starts with the pre-sales offering of its token to the public. ConnectJob is offering its decentralized service utility token, CJT, to the public at 2400CJT per ETH. CJT eliminates the biggest problem in the global labor market; middle men

“Using cryptocurrencies will be secure, fast and enhance users’ experience”

ConnectJob offer runs from 12/01/2017 to 02/11/2018.
