Creating Jobs- Fighting Recession
By Marryam Chaudhry on Jan 9, 2009 in General HR, Recession and Unemployment
A friend of mine introduced me to a new concept of creating jobs. It is a very interesting concept and I could not resist sharing it with all of you. The concept is called BidWilly and it is a grassroot level intiative to create more jobs and establish more businesses. The idea is a very novel but we have yet to see the success rate. It will be launched in Feb. 2009and wasrecently endorsed by the multi-millionaire Dr. Barney Pell ,who is supporting the movement.
1. A consumer requests a service or need. (ie. Car maintenance, home painting, tutoring, etc).
2. The request is routed to Everyone that provides that service in your area - local businesses, entrepreneurs, freelancers, etc. You get to choose the professionals that receive the bid request based on many key factors - whether you select 1 or you select 100, it’s all up to you.
3. Bidwilly professionals are allowed to bid for the work in an open market. This means that when Person-A says he’ll do the job for $200, Person-B will be allowed to see that bid and underbid Person-A by quoting a price of $180. Person-A can then modify his bid quote to $160. It’s a bidwar where everyone wins!
it is good concept of services we should promote it

How many net savvy service providers would be here in good old home? Maybe one can compile a list of some and outsource requirements to them as needed within a stipulated price range?!

Wow, I think this is the first I’ve heard of this initiative. This would be like a quick jump stimulus plan for our economy. This could save business owners and consumers over head costs. I’d promote this as well!
