Why we built this
From our campus interviews. Names withheld at their request.
“I did three weeks of social media work and never got paid. There was no one to complain to.”
“Every listing wanted experience I could only get from a listing that wanted experience.”
“My parents said no to every part-time job because they had read about the scams. I could not prove this one was different.”
