247Tasker, a new international freelance platform based in Pakistan, officially launched. The platform, founded by entrepreneur Haroon Usman and headed by CEO Hamza Khalid, seeks to bridge the gap between online and on-site freelancing opportunities. Its goal is to create a more inclusive and equitable marketplace for all professionals.
Usman explained his inspiration for creating 247Tasker stemmed from the disparity he experienced between managing international digital collaborations and local service hires. He noted the lack of digital tools and streamlined payment systems for local service providers.
The platform integrates online freelancers, such as designers and developers, with local service providers like electricians and domestic workers. This hybrid model offers a unique approach to the gig economy.
247Tasker features a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline workflows and enhance communication. These include project management tools, real-time communication features, escrow payments via Stripe, and a social-style community feed. The platform also emphasizes affordability, charging freelancers a low commission rate of 11%.
Khalid highlighted the platform’s innovative features, such as AI-powered job matching and map-based radius searches, enabling clients to easily find local service providers. He emphasized the platform’s potential to provide equal visibility to professionals regardless of their location or skill set.
247Tasker‘s mission extends beyond simply connecting clients and freelancers. The company aims to create economic opportunities in developing nations, empowering youth and providing flexible work options. They aim to support households and businesses with reliable, on-demand services.
The platform’s multi-step verification process, including government ID checks, aims to ensure authenticity and security for all users. The platform supports pre-loaded client wallets for easier budget management.
Usman further described 247Tasker as a bridge between local and global markets, between digital and physical work, and ultimately, between opportunity and equality. The company believes its inclusive approach will reshape the global service economy.
247Tasker LLC is committed to its mission of providing equal opportunity and digital empowerment for professionals worldwide. The company’s innovative approach and commitment to inclusivity position it as a significant player in the evolving global gig economy.
