Overview
Workforce Connect fixes how blue-collar hiring actually happens today — over WhatsApp, through unverifiable phone calls, taking days. We give workers like Ravi a real digital identity: a Trust Score built from verified skills, certificates, and job history — not just a claim, but proof. We give employers instant, explainable matches — not 40 random applications, but ranked candidates with a clear "why," plus the ability to hire entire trusted crews at once, not just individuals. Both sides rate each other after every job, so trust keeps compounding instead of resetting to zero every time. The result: hiring that used to take a week now takes minutes — and it's actually trustworthy.
What I learned
How to build a full scale web applcation and deploy it and how approach the problem statement
AI tools used
We used AI tools to move fast on execution, so we could spend our own time on the parts that actually needed human judgment the problem framing, the trust model, and the crew-hiring idea, which came from understanding how blue-collar hiring actually works on the ground, not from a prompt
