I Just Created An Android App That Would Curb Job Scams ! by Donald3d(m): 5:55am On Aug 24, 2017
Before I decided to became a freelancer,I have worked for some companies ,one of them in particular made me very upset(payment issue-45k unpaid till today for my sweat).
I have also been scammed helping a friend get a job.
There was no platform for me to warn people who would fall into the trap of these scammers.
Yes Nairaland is there ,but I needed something dedicated ,that is user friendly and intuitive.
I searched and couldn't find ,so i created mine .Not just to serve Nigeria alone , but the whole world !.
I present to you JobPoller

What Does The App Do ?
It helps you rate your experience with any job,employer or prospective employer

Is It Free ?
The app is free and would always be free to use .If there would be any charge in the future ,it would be for something like sms alert as the app expands,or a tiny little subscription as low as #50-#100 per month,to bear the cost of running and maintaining the app .I promise it won't exceed that.

How Can The App Benefit You Or Anyone ?
You can search for a company before applying or submitting an application, or before going for an interview.

You can search using the company or employer name ,email,phone number and address .

You can check the rating people have given this particular company,so you know whether or not the company is worth your time .It also gives you an inkling of what to expect if you end up working with that company or employer.

By adding your rating of all the companies you have worked with, you would be helping anyone who wants to work where you have worked decide whether or not the company or employer would be good for them.

What's In It For You ?
Well,this app was built from ground up by an individual,so there isn't much I can give.

But isn't it wonderful knowing you would be helping other people decide whether a job is good for them or not and also avoid job scams ?

Look at the bright side ,you would also be receiving that favor in return !

I have a reward system in the app that rewards you and whoever you invite with points(5 points).The top 5 people every month would get prizes.

To refer someone they have to register with your username as their referrer.

What's In It For The Maker Of The App
Honestly nothing much,even though I have invested a reasonable amount of money and time to put this together all alone.

But I do derive joy ,knowing that I am making a reasonable contribution to everyone and job scams would be reduced to the minimum ,since I have been a victim once,I know how much it hurts.

I also have non-intrusive ads in the app to make a little change to help bear cost of maintaining the app.

I also accept donations from anyone who has found the app useful and loves the app, I guarantee that you would love it.


Here is a summary of the features of the app :
You can rate an already existing company in the database
You can search for companies ,with phone number ,address,email.
You can add a company and rate it instantly if its not in the database
You can change your rating of any company anytime
You can also check the top 100 scam jobs to avoid ,according to peoples ratings.


I have included some screen shots ,but kindly download and use the app to get the whole experience.



Side Notes :
I also designed the logo myself too-infact everything ,no be small work to build everything from scratch.It might look basic ,but there is a story behind it .
Looking at it closely its a suitcase ,if you look deeper you would see a smiling face,if you turn the logo/suitcase upside down , you would see a frowning or sad face.This is significant to the core aim of the app,reducing job scams and making people apply for jobs that would make them happy or at least satisfied.

You can download the app here :


It would be on Google store soon.
And hopefully by next year I would build the IOS app too.

You can follow and help share across social media
Facebook,twitter and instagram all @JobPoller

Most importantly ,I really need your feedback on how to make it better.

MODIFIED :It now on the playstore ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jobpoller.android
