Competitive Advantage: 4

With this system, platform users seeking employment will be rewarded for submitting their profile, and for submitting additional information to the platform like a photo and ID, or verified past work experiences.
- Machine learning will be used to aid the profile creation and screening process. The platform’s machine learning will focus on keyword analysis and sentence semantic analysis.
- The Keyword analysis will search for keywords on resumes and profiles that will be helpful in updating the search database.
- The sentence semantic analysis will check resumes and profiles for accuracy, similar sentences, duplicate text, and incoherent content.
- The platform will also enable freelance job opportunities to be presented to users who are freelancers in Phase Two of the platform’s rollout. There will also be a payroll functionality that allows employers to pay their employees in PLEO that will be implemented in Phase Three of the platform’s rollout. Empleo has not worked through all of the legal and regulatory issues regarding the payroll function but plans to do so with its regional advisors during the platform’s rollout.

Token Mechanics: 3
- This project has an MVP with a fairly intuitive user interface. The MVP allows users to search for jobs by area code, as well as view and apply for jobs.
- PLEO is a utility token that is used for all internal platform payments. As soon as the platform is launched, employers can use the token to access candidate profiles.
- Tokens will be used by the platform for the creation of the platform, operating costs, and acquisition costs.
- Token Supply: 140,000,000 PLEO
- The decision to use a token was based on the premise that the project was in need of a global payment system, and this could not be feasibly accomplished with fiat.
- Empleos allows employers and recruiters to post job listings on the platform as long as they have PLEO in their account. Additionally, Empleos platform offers premium placement for job candidates and employers. For people seeking employment, prioritized placement in search results would cost 2 PLEO. For employers, advanced analytics would cost 2 PLEO.
User Adoption: 2
- The general idea of this project is straightforward and easy to understand, which could help facilitate user adoption. The project is ultimately striving to bring value to a market that is accessed by the majority of the population.
- The project has a solid list of partners including the NEM foundation, Staffing Industry Analysts, and Smile-Expo.
- Empleos does not have much buzz surrounding the project. The project has only 97 Twitter followers, almost 2800 followers on Facebook, and about 1600 Telegram group members.
