Hyred is a mobile app built for users to be able to find temporary jobs very quickly. The project is still in development and is a submission to Google's 2020 DSC Solution Challenge. You can view our submission video here!
Our team noticed that immigrants and refugees in Canada have a significantly higher unemployment rate compared to Canadian citizens. Employers usually prefer citizens because they value Canadian working experience. Our app provides newcomers to Canada with the perfect platform to find a source income quickly as well as gain some basic working experience in the country.
We built the app using flutter and firebase. In the future we want to incorporate more gcp services to improve and build new features. Flutter allowed us to build for ios and android with a single code base. Using Firebase as a backend-service allowed us to get the app up and running quickly.
If you have an android device, you are in luck! you can download the binaries from our Alpha Release.
We have not packaged the application for IOS, sorry!
