SkillLink: Empowering Local Workforce – A RealTime Platform Connecting Skilled Workers with Employers

The evolving job market faces a significant challenge: connecting skilled laborers with relevant employment opportunities. SkillLink, an innovative online platform, addresses this gap by leveraging geolocation-based job matching, real-time communication, and a skill-driven recommendation system. Connecting skilled tradespeople (e.g., electricians, masons, plumbers) with employers, SkillLink streamlines the hiring process. Integrating AI-driven matching algorithms, secure digital transactions, and a worker review system, SkillLink enhances job recommendations and builds worker credibility. Real-time availability tracking distinguishes SkillLink from traditional job boards, enabling instant employer-worker matching based on proximity and skills. Multilingual support further expands accessibility. This paper explores SkillLink's architecture, technology stack, business model, and potential impact on employment in both urban and rural areas. By digitizing the skilled labor industry, SkillLink aims to empower workers, optimize job discovery, and drive economic growth. The proposed system offers a scalable solution to unemployment challenges and improves workforce management efficiency across various industries.
