The team leading the Talao project aim to create in the next five years the first Decentralized Autonomous Organisation with 5 million users, taking a position in the top 3 global talent on-demand platforms, a $5 billion market according to the SIA1
Talao is the first public Ethereum-based decentralized and autonomous platform dedicated to talent. It gives talent access to a huge panel of companies asking for their expertise, enables them to benefit from smart contract-based payments, and allows them to build a strong community-based reputation, thereby disrupting the traditional working industry by eliminating its middlemen.
The TALAO Token gives right of usage to the following services provided by the platform:
• Talent can have their resume and professional reputation certified by the community and stored in a decentralized reputation vault, allowing them to take ownership of their professional reputation and select the potential viewers of their qualifications.
• Businesses can get access to the certified skills of a talent pool, select the appropriate professionals, and find the profile that best matches their specific needs.
• Both parties can send and receive secured contract-based payments, convertible into fiat or cryptocurrencies, according to their agreement.
The Talao revenues model is based on:
• Premium services bought by customers: priority status for urgent request, skill-based screening tools or conflict settlement,
• Platform adaptation to specific customers’ need, like dedicated branded portal.
The estimated revenues for the platform are 2% of the Gross Payment Volume (GPV).
The team leading Talao is a mix of Internet and Professional Services entrepreneurs with a shared vision:
• The blockchain revolution is about decentralization. The public blockchain revolution, just like the internet in the 90s, will be a huge step forward in this direction, forever disrupting the ways humans cooperate and build reciprocal trust in a decentralized world. More than a technological or financial revolution, public blockchains will be a decisive factor in the transformation of human activities’ governance, and within the coming years companies will have no choice but to embrace this new way of thinking, sharing and working. DAO will be part of the business world.
• The public blockchains will become mainstream. As the Internet was unstoppable, so too will the public blockchains be. The amazing mix of open source development, coopetition among projects and the huge need for decentralization is creating a unique mix of human intelligence, capital and momentum.
• The working industry is accelerating toward a talent on-demand model. Leading companies are pushing forward organizations where top talent are engaged where and when needed. Talent are looking for more and more freedom while being able to manage their revenues steams. More than 100 million people are freelancing today. This is the main trend of the future of work.
• Public blockchains will disrupt the talent on-demand market, by creating a fairer and more efficient value chain. They will enable talent to own their data, in contrast to today’s platforms that centralize this data. Ultimately, blockchain technologies and more precisely DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), will enable a more transparent relationship between Talent and business.
Talao is the move to Ethereum blockchain for eMindHub, a talent centralized marketplace created in 2015. Currently, the platform allows businesses to hire experts for specific missions. The platform is a working product, live at http://talao.io, and brings together top talent and multinational firms from a number of industries. eMindHub is essentially disrupting itself to reboot the worldwide talent on-demand market with the Talao decentralized platform.
With Talao, talent will:
• Increase their value in the market with their professional reputation, profile and experiences stored in the blockchain, • Freely organize themselves in Decentralized Autonomous Communities to maximize their wealth and professional path, giving them more control and more leverage when negotiating deals with large corporations,
• Increase their revenues by 10 to 20% relative to the traditional model where they were used to getting their work through staffing platforms.
Welcome to Talao. Welcome to the future of work.
