Since the dawn of Main Street and the invention of picket fences, neighbors have been sharing tips on local young people who needed work, could help in a pinch, do a job well, and be relied upon.  QuadJobs brings that exchange to the 21^st century, introducing you to the best and brightest in your community—and giving you instant access to your neighbors’ “two cents” on a student worker.

If you’re new to QuadJobs, here’s how it works:  When a student applies to your job, you’ll have access to their full profile and JobGPA—including reviews and ratings from other employers in your community who’ve worked with the student in the past. 

These ratings are key.  They’re instant references on an applicant from your neighbors.  You’ll learn if they showed up on time, dressed professionally, exceeded expectations.  Good info = a happy hire.  (For our part, we’ll make sure the student has an active .edu account, and we’ll make it easy for them to get a background check if they’d like to add that to their profile.  We’ll also make sure your post reaches a targeted audience:  An education major who speaks Spanish and is CPR-certified.  We’re getting more specific by the day.)

Don’t forget to award a job to a student, and after the job is done, take 3 seconds to give a quick review.  Consider this your act of community service for the day—you’re providing valuable info to your neighbors, just as they’ve done for you.
