Online riding apps will launch a job search application


The American company Uber, which is known for its taxi and food delivery services, will launch an application for finding temporary work, writes the Financial Times. The platform should facilitate the selection of specialists for different companies
The American company Uber, which already has services for calling a taxi and delivering food, will launch the Uber Works application on October 4, according to the Financial Times, citing three informed sources. The new service is intended for those who are looking for temporary work.
At first, the application will work only in Chicago, since it was there that a new project was developed, however, one of the sources says that later Uber can expand the geography of the service. The application is designed to bring together performers who are ready to provide their services, and customers who need labor. Clerks, chefs and other specialists will be able to register on the platform. It will be enough for them to indicate information about themselves once so that in the future it will be visible to all potential employers, FT notes.
One of the interlocutors of the newspaper said that recruitment agencies will pay taxes on the wages of temporary employees. They will also provide certain benefits to those service users who are entitled to receive them. In fact, this means that the recruiting agencies that have become partners of Uber will take on the tasks that employers usually perform in relation to permanent employees.

The publication cites the data of the company Deloitte, which provides consulting and audit services. The organization notes that the number of U.S. residents looking for temporary work next year will reach 42 million, which is three times higher than in 2017. With this in mind, Uber Works has every chance to compete with Wonolo, a large HR service launched five years ago, writes FT. This project also helps companies that need a lot of employees for a one-time event.
For the first time, Uber’s plans to launch a service to look for temporary work became known a year ago. Then the sources of the Financial Times said that the new project is able to convince investors before the IPO that Uber can provide not only transport services and offer a wider platform for different specialists. It is not known whether the development of the Uber Works application influenced the opinion of investors, however, the results of the IPO last May were lower than Uber's expectations: on the day of listing, the stock price was $ 45, but the next morning it dropped to $ 42. Despite the fact that the company planned to sell 180 million shares at a price of $ 44 to $ 50 and raise about $ 10 billion.

How Does VPN Work in network system?

  A VPN is a way to connect to the internet through an encrypted connection. When you access a website, upload data to an app or check your email, the VPN encrypts all your communications and sends them to a server run by the VPN provider, which then sends them on to their destination. That is useful for preserving your privacy when you don't trust the network you're on, whether it's an internet service provider or a Wi-Fi connection at an airport or coffee shop. You can also use a VPN to connect to a corporate network for work purposes. Many companies use this method to limit access to their internal networks to employees with VPN usernames and passwords and to encrypt their connections to work machines. How Does VPN Work? A VPN encrypts all the data you send from your computer across the internet, shapes it into specially formatted packets of data and sends them to the VPN server. The server has digital keys it can use to decrypt the data, but anybody else without these k

set up a VPN or Proxy

When they ask me about a good VPN service, I don’t know what to say. The essence of all services is the same - hiding your IP and access to blocked resources. Someone does it better, and someone worse. As a result, the choice of service is reduced to the personal requirements of the questioner. I can only tell which service is worth a try. And in this article I will talk about ALTVPN. The name of the service stands for Alternative Secure Services, and in fact ALTVPN is an alternative VPN. Let's see why. On a separate page, you can get detailed instructions for installing ALTVPN on your device. I will not talk about manual configuration through PPTP or OpenVPN, everything is too individual here and requires experience. But ordinary users can download the application for their device. This setup takes literally half a minute. For example, on Windows, when starting the application, you just need to specify the user code, select the connection server and click the &qu
