Hire in Another Country
Did you know that nowadays you can hire someone remotely for an actual physical job in another country with a couple of clicks? It is possible to hire a person who lives ten thousand miles away for a few hour job and get the result instantly via the internet. May it sound like science fiction, but it is the reality and the platform that makes it possible is called Djobzy. Let’s see the examples below.
How can you actually use hiring in another country? Well, there are many ways. Let’s have a look at examples.
A Birthday Gift
Let’s say your friend is in Paris on a business trip and tomorrow is her birthday. Calling and congratulating is a good ordinary way to congratulate, but what if you could ask someone in Paris to buy and deliver a specific present to her? Right at the hotel where she is staying. What kind of present will it be? Let’s make it a bouquet, perfume and chocolate.
All together for $70 and $30 payment to a person who would find shops in town, buy and deliver the items nicely packed. You may ask your employee to pronounce a specific congratulating sentence with a charming French accent. Wouldn’t it be an unforgettable moment? You can do it at any date, in any country, with any amount of items to deliver.
A Photo of a Comet
Let's say you're an astronomy enthusiast and you want to see the sky from a place in Texas at a specific date at 2 am on the 20th of March 2025. You expect to see a comet there according to the forecast. We know that some astronomical phenomena can be observed with the naked eye and captured on a mobile phone.
All you have to do is to create a task and describe what part of the sky has to be observed, near which constellations it is expected. Any astronomy enthusiast from that area in Texas can make the footage for you and you can negotiate on a comfortable price. Who knows, maybe you and your temporary employee will become colleagues & friends in the future. Djobzy isn’t only about hiring, it’s also about connecting people with the same interests.
Pick up Your Delivered Item
Or let’s say you forgot to get the box from a delivery pick up point and now you are far away from home. Usually you ask friends to get the item for you, but sometimes they are busy or far away as well. Hire a person with the highest level of verification, send them a code and ask to pick up and keep the item until your return. To post such a job, you also should have a 7 level of verification on the platform.
You can even ask someone to pick up a paper mail from the US post office for you. You just need to provide a paper saying that "a name" has permission to pick up mail for "my name", and then it needs to be signed. Your employee will have to show their valid photo ID at the post office.
An Antique Book Copy
Let’s say you are interested in Shakespear’s earliest printed books and you want to get those for academic purposes or for your personal use. Let’s say you want to get pictures of the first 5 editions. Post a job asking a registered reader at the British Library to make pictures for you. This is allowed by library rules since 2015. As easy as that.
Hiring when you are far away from home.
Let’s say you went abroad for a month and you just want to double check that your property is OK. The windows are closed, for example. Post a job asking someone to pass your house and make a picture. You can provide your exact address only after hiring a particular person. Make sure to hire a person with the highest verification level. Request just a few pictures in order not to confuse people around.
Hiring for a Scientific Research Purpose
Imagine a sociologist who wants to find out what an average family in a Liberian village eats for dinner, as well as how food is stored and served. He needs photographs to apply to his academic research.
Of course, the best way is to go to Liberia, but he has to spend much more time. He needs a visa; he has to get vaccinated, and spend a lot of money. Instead of that, he can hire someone trustworthy nearby the village in Liberia to provide these photos. He may request several researches in a few villages and compare the results, get these photos or video documents much faster than collecting himself. Academic science requires a 100% accuracy, so the described way works only as a part of research and has to be cross-checked with other scientific resources.
Curiosity
For example, you want to know how the sewer hatch in Yemen looks like. Why? Just wondering. Sometimes you just want to know something. Ask any performer in Yemen to make a picture for you. 10 different pictures. It’s you who orders.
For Artistic Purposes
You are interested in folk songs or fairy tales. Request people from other countries to record a song or a fairy tale and send it to you along with translation. You can hire an artist from any country to create a portrait out of your picture in any requested style and to send it to you via post.
For Fun
You are having a party and you want a group of 4 people from Sweden to call you via Skype and sing their traditional happy birthday song in Swedish and congratulate your friend, pronouncing his name.
Conclusion
There is no end to the examples, as you can see now. We are just at the beginning of exploring the world without borders, therefore the best practices await us in the future. Of course, we should always remember that our tasks must respect the jurisdiction of the country we are hiring in and the people we hire. The ability for everyone to hire in another country, to consult with anyone worldwide, leads us to changes that make our living better. We believe so at Djobzy. Have a great hiring experience.
