Maintaining Data Quality and Ethics When Hiring Migrant Labourers

Major tech companies have consistently misused the personal data of their users over the past few years. In the global migrant labour industry, many companies and governments have insufficiently guarded migrant data, allowing it to be leaked to the public or stolen by hackers. When it comes to hiring migrant labourers, ethical data management practices must become a priority.

Companies that benefit from migrant labourers need strong humanist principles when it comes to data quality and management. Here’s how platforms like Joblio are ensuring migrant data isn’t being misused around the world.

Migrant data has already been leaked

Hundreds of thousands of migrants have already suffered from inappropriate data management practices that exposed their personal information to the world. According to a report from the Guardian, the personal details of at least 774,000 migrants and aspiring migrants to Australia was made publicly accessible following a data breach. Governments and the private companies they contract with have consistently illustrated that they’re not treating migrant data privacy issues seriously.

In addition to harmful data breaches, the global migrant labour industry is also plagued by harmful practices like extensive surveillance. Human Rights Watch has reported that Russian state authorities are considering tracking migrant workers with new technology. Governments with a demonstrable history of ignoring human rights may soon be closely monitoring the migrant labourers who make critical contributions to the global economy. This monitoring can easily turn into abuse if sensitive data isn’t closely safeguarded.

Technology is often a positive force in the global migrant labour industry, allowing employees and employers to communicate directly with one another. In certain parts of the world, however, migrant labourers may soon become the victims of unwarranted and excessive surveillance that collects personal data which is improperly stored. Software that intrudes and humiliates migrant labourers must be avoided at all costs if an ethical future for the industry is to be realized.

Reliable statistics don’t need to be intrusive

Ethical companies with strong humanist principles are needed to ensure that reliable statistics for the global migrant labour industry can be collected legitimately. Keeping track of where migrant labourers are heading doesn’t need to be an intrusive or humiliating process. By ensuring transparency when it comes to how data is collected and used, private companies can ensure that migrant labourers don’t become the latest victims of inadvertent data breaches or hacks.

Platforms like Joblio are leading by example with transparent and easily accessible privacy policies that inform users what data is being collected when they make use of modern apps and digital services. Reminding migrants of their rights is an essential part of maintaining ethics when it comes to data collection, management, and storage.

Organizations such as the Global Migration Group have provided clear guidelines for collecting disaggregated data on human rights without violating the personal privacy of individual migrants. Once this data has been collected and analyzed, it must be meticulously stored with user privacy taking on the utmost importance. In addition to facing social opprobrium, companies which fail to ethically manage migrant data could run afoul of local or international privacy rules and pay a steep price for their negligence.

Jon Purizhansky, CEO of Joblio, believes that “businesses must take responsibility for their data management practices.” Unethical behavior from corporate leaders and unclear corporate guidelines on data management will lead to the abuse of migrant labourer information. User profiles and background checks must be carefully safeguarded from hackers to ensure a smooth and ethical migration process.

Joblio ensures ethical hiring is easy

Platforms like Joblio are the best way to ensure global migrant labourers are hired quickly, easily, and ethically. Applicant biometrical data is carefully managed to ensure personal information is never inappropriately leaked. By circumventing harmful middlemen who abuse migrants during the recruitment process, Joblio also ensures migrant data doesn’t fall into the hands of recruiters who don’t care about the privacy of migrants.

“Thanks to our clear privacy policy, Joblio ensures no user is ever left in the dark when it comes to their personal information,” says CEO Jon Purizhansky. By working hand in hand with both employers and employees, Joblio ensures important data on global migration patterns can be collected in a sustainable, transparent, and ethical fashion.

For too long, major tech companies have abused the trust of their users while poorly safeguarding privacy. These days, platforms like Joblio are reinventing the global migrant labour industry without sacrificing ethics in data collection and management.

Joblio Inc. da Miami a Montecarlo per il CC Forum

Nel pomeriggio del 6 luglio, in una bella giornata di sole caldo, il Principato di Monaco ha atteso gli arrivi dagli States e da UK di chi, nel 2020, ha dato forma all’App e alla società Joblio Inc., avente sede a Miami (Florida, USA), e di chi ne è un prezioso advisor. Nell’ordine: il CEO Jon Purizhansky, l’ideatore, il Presidente David Arkless, ex Global President di ManpowerGroup, il CRO Michael Schvartsman, co-fondatore della società con Jon, e i consiglieri John Gavigan e Dennis C. Vacco.

Le interviste di Alessandra Basile

Alessandra: Ho intervistato, al Meridien Beach Plaza di Montecarlo, gran parte di loro, persone di alto profilo professionale, capaci di mettersi in gioco con coraggio e determinazione per un goal umanitario rilevante sul piano, soprattutto, europeo e di impatto internazionale, in linea con il tema principale del CC Forum di Monaco che li ha prontamente ospitati, la sostenibilità.

Joblio: la sua piattaforma user-friendly

Grazie a un team competente di professionisti rappresentanti di ogni parte del mondo, Joblio offre, attraverso la sua piattaforma user-friendly, un sistema di tracciamento centralizzato per la migrazione economica e garantisce il rigoroso rispetto degli standard umanitari internazionali.

Infatti, i miei intervistati mi spiegano che la piattaforma permette a un immigrato intenzionato a trovare lavoro, non solo di trovarlo facilmente con pochi passaggi sul proprio cellulare, ormai alla portata quasi di chiunque, ma anche di essere seguito prima di giungere nel paese ospitante e durante la sua permanenza del Paese che lo ospiterà, con una relativa formazione su cultura, leggi e lingua, fino al rientro in patria.

Il tutto grazie ad accordi governativi e a modelli di assunzione sostenibili, che potenziano l’economia internazionale nel nome dei diritti umani, a discapito delle attività criminali.

Investimenti a favore dello Sviluppo Sostenibile

Ceo e Presidente sono intervenuti alla Conferenza 2021 per gli Investimenti a favore dello Sviluppo Sostenibile, incentrata su innovazione aziendale e attività legislativa e interna al CC Forum, al quale hanno partecipato personalità quali Michael del Liechtenstein, Fondatore e Presidente della società Geopolitical Intelligence Services e Steven O’Brien, Segretario Generale del G20 Foundation.

Joblio mira a contribuire alla risoluzione delle problematiche migratorie globali con la rimozione della figura dell’intermediario dal processo di assunzione, creando un rapporto diretto fra datori di lavoro e futuri assunti, per garantire impieghi in condizioni eque e proficue. Si prevengono le frodi e si garantisce il rispetto delle leggi statali sul lavoro nelle fasi di ricollocazione del capitale umano.

Dal Comunicato Stampa di Joblio: ‘attualmente si stima siano 24.9 milioni i lavoratori sottoposti a condizioni di lavoro forzato, 16 milioni dei quali sono vittime di sfruttamento nel settore privato. Si ritiene che il lavoro forzato generi annualmente 150 miliardi di dollari USA a favore di terze parti che traggono profitto da standard di reclutamento poco trasparenti e da sistemi di pagamento corrotti.

In effetti, l’Organizzazione Internazionale del Lavoro stima che almeno 150 milioni di lavoratori lasciano, ogni anno, i propri Paesi d’origine per ricercare opportunità lavorative in un Paese estero.

Questa cifra aumenta annualmente’;‘nelle economie sviluppate, il profitto annuale per vittima di lavoro forzato è pari a circa $35,000. Buona parte di questo introito è intascata da reclutatori (..) che travisano volutamente le posizioni offerte dai datori di lavoro’.

Nel 2021, a Joblio è stato conferito il Premio “Excellence Innovation Award in Human Rights Protection” dall’Abrahamic Business Circle. La società contribuisce al salvataggio di vite umane.

Joblio Prioritizes Humanitarianism at Global Investment Forum

Joblio is proud to be presenting at the 2021 Investment in Sustainable Development Conference hosted by the CC Forum in Cote d’Azur at the Le Meridien Beach Plaza Hotel from July 6-9. This exciting international event will be attended by entrepreneurs and innovators from around the globe who will discuss revolutionary discoveries in their industries. Formidable thought leaders will assemble to discuss a sustainable future for humanity, with Joblio enjoying unparalleled representation from Chairman David Arkless and CEO Jon Purizhansky.

The forum will cover a vast range of topics, including global climate change, energy sustainability, emerging technologies, and social philanthropy. In attendance will be Meir Arnon of the Focus Capital Group, Christophe Berger of Nordic Electrofuel, Carolina Casas of Sangha Capital, amongst many other prestigious names. As titans of industry and pioneers of humanitarianism meet and mingle, Joblio will forcefully argue for renewed investment in worker wellbeing and a campaign against modern slavery around the globe.

Joblio is committed to improving the global migrant labour industry as the world begins to recover from COVID-19. The Joblio platform aims to illustrate that, in the words of CEO Jon Purizhansky, “immigration can become less of a risk and more of a sustainable foundation for economies everywhere.” More than helping migrants find jobs, however, Joblio is dedicated to elevating humanitarianism in the global economy.

Joblio’s primary mission is to save human lives in a marketplace that all too often treats them as disposable tools. At the forthcoming forum, Joblio will advocate for technological progress and show the world how digital tools can be used to improve the lives of migrant labourers.

To that end, Joblio is standing hand in hand with exploited workers so that the world can hear of their plight. Joblio will use its voice at the forum to tell the story of Amal Mabrouk Subhi Abdul Ghani Al-Sayed, an Egyptian national who has suffered from ceaseless torture and humiliation. Born in the Menofia Governante in the Republic of Egypt, Amal has endured resentment, abuse, and threats to her life from her father since her earliest days. Persecuted for her desire to learn and become a productive member of society, she has persevered and toiled in labour markets and legal hierarchies that victimize and exploit the most vulnerable.

By creating a transparent and ethical global labour marketplace, Joblio is ensuring that migrant labourers can achieve freedom and prosperity abroad. Through digital services that help labourers secure passports and legal recognition to work in other countires, Joblio’s platform will grant migrants the opportunity to put their skills to use in high paying jobs. The continued development of this modern technology guarantees that migrants enjoy a smooth hiring process and fair wages.

No one should have to endure psychological stress and phsyical torture for the supposed crime of wanting a better life. Global relocation expert Jon Purizhansky will remind the forum audience that “illicit recruitment practices take place every day, worldwide, on every continent.” He will stress that stifling regulations and opaque business practices should not stand in the way of society’s most vulnerable when they seek ethical work around the world.

The Joblio platform will provide training and cultural lessons for those workers scared of voyaging abroad without adequate preparation. This is because “migrants rarely get to work in their specialized fields in their new home,” according to global relocation expert Jon Purizhansky. By partnering with local employers, Joblio ensures migrants find a job that matches their skills. Joblio is dedicated to continuing the economic diplomacy for which its CEO Jon Purizhansky was recently recognized with an award from the Abrahamic Business Council. Ceaseless innovation in the global migrant labour industry is our constant goal.

Improving the global migrant labour industry means saving lives. Now more than ever before, we can use technology to unite employers and employees and secure financial independence for the vulnerable. Sustainable technological platforms like the Joblio app provide long-term solutions to age-old labour practices. By continuing to invest in digital tools that upskill migrants and ensure their gainful employment, Joblio is leading the technological revolution in the global migrant labour industry.

Making Sense of the Migrant Labour Community

Migrant labour plays a crucial role in both developed and developing communities. Nevertheless, the migrant labour community is frequently misunderstood by the companies, governments, and international organizations which depend upon the free movement of workers. The unique challenges these labourers face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and publics which benefit from their presence.

It’s past time that we make sense of the migrant labour community that’s so vital for the growth of the global economy. Policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labour communities, a process that begins by understanding the plight of impoverished workers.

Migrant labour Continues to Rise

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted immigration patterns and disrupted both domestic and international supply lines of goods and labour. Nevertheless, recent years have proven that migrant labour continues to rise around the world. According to the 2020 World Migration Report from the United Nations, recent data indicates that there are approximately 272 million international migrants spread across the globe, nearly two-thirds of which are migrant labourers.

This represents a serious increase from the approximate figure of 150 million migrant labourers that the International labour Organization provided in 2013. These migrants seek work abroad in order to send economic remittances back home, often serving as a financial lifeline for their families and communities. Employers and political leaders must come to recognize migrant labourers as living people deserving of rights rather than cheap labor to be wielded like tools, – says Jon Purizhansky, the founder and CEO of Joblio.co.

The Impact of COVID-19

The economic impact of COVID-19 has decimated migrant communities around the world. With wealthy and working class professionals alike struggling to make ends meet, government relief efforts often ignore the vulnerable migrant labourers who contribute to their communities but enjoy little political representation. According to one report from the UN Migration Agency, migrants abroad have been forced to abandon their jobs and return home in record numbers. This leads to worse living conditions and contributes to labor shortages in critical sectors.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, for instance, the agricultural sector has been hampered by restrictions on international movement. A recent report from the FAO predicts a dramatic reduction in economic remittances sent from migrant labourers in agricultural sectors to their home countries. It also identifies disruptions to the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural goods that are a result of migrant labour shortages. Consumers will face higher prices, employers will struggle to fill gaps in the workforce, and migrant labourers will fall into unemployment at a record pace, – accents Jon Purizhansky.

The pandemic may also lead to shifts in the origin and destination countries of the migrant labour market. Global ethical recruitment expert and Joblio CEO Jon Purizhansky once noted that “global migration is a topic that impacts hundreds of millions of people around the world.” An ILO report concludes that three subregions alone (North America, Northern/Southern/Western Europe, and the Arab States) account for nearly 61% of the migrant labour population. Disparate vaccination rates in these regions could harm migrant labourers who play a critical role in maintaining the global supply chain.

Expanding Migrant Opportunities With Joblio

Despite the challenges facing the migrant labour community, companies like Joblio are working to expand the opportunities made available to international workers. By connecting workers directly to employers through cutting-edge technology, Joblio bypasses inefficient middlemen and streamlines the immigration process. As global labour markets reel in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, apps like Joblio will prove essential for the further development of economic sectors that depend upon migrant labourers.

To ensure ethical recruitment, Jon Purizhansky notes that “all applicants will undergo a medical examination 48 hours prior to arrival, including COVID-19 tests.” By prioritizing the health and wellbeing of workers, Joblio is ensuring that global health crises have a minimal impact on the international labour market. Businesses can’t do it alone, however; governments must take steps to ensure migrant communities are included in COVID-19 recovery plans. If migrant labourers are left behind, the critical economic sectors they contribute to will never fully recover.

Migrant labour communities depend on platforms like Joblio to secure fair wages, hospitable working conditions, and attention from policy makers. Enhanced human mobility will only serve to supercharge economic growth if employers and political leaders come together and ensure the most vulnerable communities receive the support they desperately need.

Understanding Benefits of an Ethical Recruitment Process

Employers around the world depend upon migrant labour for growth, but this hasn’t halted the exploitation of migrants in vulnerable situations. Unethical middlemen continue to prey upon the same labourers who are responsible for substantial economic growth across the globe. Domestic entrepreneurs that ostensibly seek the best for migrant labourers often partake in unethical recruitment processes, believing they’ll derive a competitive advantage from lowballing workers.

When it comes to perpetuating unethical recruitment in the global migrant labour industry, there’s little for employers to gain and much to lose. Employers must come to understand that enforcing ethical recruitment standards is both an ethical imperative and a commercially savvy tactic, says Jon Purizhansky, the founder of Joblio, Inc, a technological platform that connects workers and employers.

Exploited workers are unproductive workers

Some unethical employers believe they can gain a leg up on the competition by relying on unethical recruitment practices. They mislead migrant labourers about the nature of the offered job and provide shoddy working conditions when they arrive in their destination country. Despite the economic allure of cheap labor and low overhead costs, exploiting workers is both an ethical mistake and a commercial misstep. Exploited labourers who are treated unfairly are logically unproductive and unmotivated. They’ll also contribute to expensive employee churn that ends up eating into employer profits.

Despite the financial wisdom that comes with an ethical recruitment process, many employers around the world continue to disadvantage themselves by harming migrants in vulnerable situations. According to a report provided by the Interfaith Center On Corporate Responsibility, approximately 21 million migrant labourers are currently trapped into conditions of forced labour. These victimized labourers generate approximately $150 billion in profits for other parties, yet their employers could derive greater profits by recognizing their humanity and offering a square deal.

Migrant labourers who receive adequate wages and are ensured safe working conditions are liable to remain in the same position, point out Jon Purizhansky, CEO and founder of Joblio, Inc. Rather than seeking greener pastures elsewhere, they’ll develop helpful skills that enable further professional development. The organizations that employ them will cultivate more valuable human capital and avoid ethical scandals or legal troubles that naturally arise from labour exploitation.

Guaranteeing the rights and interest of migrant labourers should thus be the main priority of employers seeking long-term growth and industry stability. The injuries, worker exhaustion, and high turnover rates that are naturally associated with exploitative recruitment practices are simply too costly to bear, as Professor Mark Gray points out in Human Organization.

A square deal for employers and employees

Employers seeking a competitive advantage should eschew unethical recruitment and embrace high standards of worker wellbeing. Doing so will benefit their bottom lines while improving the lives of migrant labourers. It simply requires embracing technology that enables employers and employees to communicate and bargain on a level playing field.

“Employers in the developed world are not directly connected to their prospective employees due to the chain of multiple middlemen currently positioned between employers and employees,” according to global relocation expert and CEO of an ethical recruitment platform Jon Purizhansky. He aims to remedy that problem through Joblio, a SaaS platform that ensures employers are compliant with labour laws and maintain high ethical recruitment standards.

By cooperating with local organizations to ensure the human rights of migrant labourers are vigorously maintained, platforms like Joblio will supercharge growth in the global migrant labour industry. This benefits the countless employers who depend upon migrants to swell the ranks of their workforce during periods of high consumer demand. It also cuts nefarious middlemen who exploit labourers out of the recruitment process altogether.

Solving the industry’s biggest problem

Unethical recruitment is a blight upon the global migrant labour industry. It preys upon vulnerable workers and leaves employers with a degraded and demoralized workforce. Corporate and government entities interested in long-term economic growth must recognize the importance of solving the industry’s biggest problem with disruptive technologies like Joblio’s platform, – says Jon Purizhansky.

With the help of digital technology that allows employers to circumvent the legal challenges of recruiting additional labourers, vital sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing will continue to grow. By allowing workers to strenuously advocate for their own interests, these digital platforms will create a level economic playing field that benefits employers and employees alike. Hiring managers and company owners that hold power over labourers must recognize that equitable and ethical hiring practices are the first step toward achieving sustained growth.

An Analytical Overview of Migrant Labor Market

The migrant labor market continues to contribute to the economic growth in both developing and developed regions. Jon Purizhansky, the founder of Joblio.co, points out that the important role played by migrant laborers in the international economy, many companies, governments, and international organizations lack information about the industries that these workers contribute to. Additionally, the origin points of many migrant laborers and the unique issues they face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and ecosystems, which benefit from their presence.

This international labor market analysis explores the origins and destinations of migrant laborers in the contemporary marketplace. It also illustrates which economic sectors are dependent upon migrant labor for continued growth, and discusses why policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labor communities.

Migrant Labor Continues To Rise

Jon Purizhansky says that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted immigration patterns and disrupted both domestic and international supply lines of goods and labor. Nevertheless, recent years have demonstrated that the number of labor migrants continues to rise around the world, a pattern that can be expected to continue as the pandemic recedes in the wake of a global vaccination effort. Jon Purizhansky also points to the 2020 World Migration Report issued by the United Nations, which indicates that there are approximately 272 million international labor migrants

This represents a serious increase from the approximate figure of 150 million migrant laborers that the International Labor Organization provided in 2013. As the global economy continues to recover from pandemic-induced recessions, labor migration will continue to rise as workers seek better wages and working conditions abroad. Nevertheless, pandemic-related travel restrictions will likely frustrate migrant laborers and their employers in the immediate future.

The Impact of COVID-19

Despite the increase in migrant laborers over the past few years, organizations which depend upon international data pertaining to migrant laborers must understand that COVID-19 will lead to serious disruptions in migrant data collection and analysis efforts for years. Jon Purizhansky mentions that assessments of migrant labor growth must account for pandemic-induced travel restrictions and job loss. Immediate shocks to the international economy have already been detected due to labor shortages which have arisen because of the pandemic.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, for instance, agricultural value chains and food supply systems have been impacted by restrictions on international movement. A recent report from the FAO notes that a dramatic reduction in economic remittances sent from migrant laborers in agricultural sectors to their home countries can be expected. It also identifies disruptions to the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural goods that are a result of migrant labor shortages.

Changing Destination Points

The pandemic may also lead to shifts in the origin and destination countries of the migrant labor market. Joblio.co founder Jon Purizhansky once noted that “global migration is a topic that impacts hundreds of millions of people around the world.” The impact of global labor migration is often felt more seriously in certain states than others; an ILO report concludes that three subregions alone (North America, Northern/Southern/Western Europe, and the Arab States) account for nearly 61% of the migrant labor population.

Given the disparate vaccination rate of these and other global subregions, migrant labor may flow to different destination countries in the near-future. Alternatively, regions which currently possess both a larger than average share of migrant laborers and better access to vaccines may further their advantage in the international migrant labor market. Regions such as Northern Africa, which currently hosts less than 1% of the migrant labor population, may struggle to attract more immigrants as a result of the pandemic.

Expanding Migrant Opportunities With Joblio

Despite the challenges facing the migrant labor market, companies like Joblio are working to expand the opportunities made available to international laborers. By connecting workers directly to employers through cutting-edge technology, Joblio bypasses inefficient middlemen and streamlines the immigration process. As global labor markets reel in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, apps like Joblio will prove essential for the further development of economic sectors that depend upon migrant laborers.

To ensure ethical recruitment, Purizhansky notes that “all applicants will undergo a medical examination 48 hours prior to arrival, including COVID-19 tests.” By prioritizing the health and wellbeing of workers, Joblio is ensuring that global health crises have a minimal impact on the international labor market. The migrant labor market may be experiencing growing pains, but services like Joblio are ensuring a healthy maturation of this critical economic sector.

Ending Recruitment Abuse in the Migrant Labor Industry

The founder of Joblio.co Jon Purizhansky says that migrant labor industry is roaring back to life as the pandemic begins to recede in many nations that host foreign workers. With renewed growth comes the opportunity to end recruitment abuse that has plagued the industry since its earliest days, misleading migrants and frustrating employers. The violation of migrants’ rights and constant exposure to workplace hazards can only be thwarted by an international coalition of employers, governments, and interest groups that prioritizes the wellbeing of workers.

From embracing digital technologies that empower migrants to pushing for better global governance, here’s a review of the best hopes for ending recruitment abuse in the migrant labor industry.

Abuse Begins At Home

Jon Purizhansky notices that abuse often begins in the home countries of migrant laborers who are desperate to work abroad in order to earn higher wages. Long before they’re separated from their loved ones and cut off from local support networks, these migrant laborers are misled by conniving middlemen who seek to exploit their situation for economic gain. Loosely regulated agencies and labor recruiters target workers who aspire to go abroad with deceptive job offers and unfair loans with steep interest rates.

Many migrant workers are thus tricked into accepting lackluster jobs they poorly understand but desperately desire before they’ve left the safety of home. In the worst-case scenario, a vulnerable migrant laborer may even fall victim to human trafficking that leads to forced labor in dire conditions. According to the International Labor Organization, enhanced labor mobility around the world has led to an uptick in human trafficking and other abusive practices. High recruitment fees, inflexible work contracts, and deceitful wage advances pose additional threats to laborers vying to go abroad.

One of the most successful methods of combating this recruitment abuse is the development of digital platforms that help migrant laborers avoid unscrupulous recruiters. Jon Purizhansky says that Joblio has developed an app that introduces transparency into a previously opaque marketplace. By cooperating with international organizations and local governments, Joblio ensures that local laws are enforced so that migrant laborers don’t fall through the cracks when searching for employment.

The Power of Digital Disruption

In addition to Joblio, the ILO has also been promoting other digital platforms that allow migrant laborers to read user reviews of recruitment agencies. Workers can comment on their experience with a recruitment agency to steer other laborers in the right direction as they seek a fair employer. Digital disrupters like Joblio and Recruitment Advisor are also educating workers about their rights to thwart predatory agencies that seek to exploit the hiring process for their own gain.

“Around 90% of labor migrants worldwide are low-skilled or unskilled young people who come from remote areas of third-world countries,” according to Jon Purizhansky, CEO of Joblio. The company has thus focused on disruptive digital technologies that are nevertheless accessible to everyday workers. By cutting out unethical middlemen, the app creates a transparent medium where both employees and employers can find suitable economic arrangements.

Ending recruitment abuse may begin with powerful digital tools, but it also requires global coordination among states that depend upon migrant labor for economic growth.

The Influence of Policy:

Policymakers around the world are struggling to ensure workers are protected while also dealing with the explosive growth of the migrant labor industry. Global relocation expert Jon Purizhanksy notes that much of this policy is focused on young migrants. The same young workers who are the victims of recruitment abuse often lack serious political power to determine the regulations which serve to protect them. Policymakers in the origin countries of migrant workers must continue to strive to put the wellbeing of workers ahead of corporate profits to ensure an ethical future.

Luckily, these younger migrants are also growing up as digital natives who are familiar with the internet. This allows them to digitally access banking services and safely store the documentation that’s crucial to their future. Global interest groups shaping the regulations around the migrant labor industry must remember the pivotal role that digital technology now plays in the lives of these workers when drafting legislation.

Recruitment abuse harms workers and employers alike, mitigating economic growth and generating dire human rights abuses. By harnessing the power of apps like Joblio, workers can shift the balance of power in their favor and make well-educated decisions. With better regulations on their side, these employees can work hand in hand with employers to shut predatory middlemen out of the global migrant labor marketplace for good.

How to Get an International Job before Moving?

Typically when moving to a new location, you will need to find a place to live before looking for a job. But when you apply for work through Joblio, you have the opportunity to locate a job abroad and speak directly with your potential employer before you even start to pack your bags.

Jon Purizhansky, Joblio’s founder, says that Joblio provides workers with access to countless offers posted each day from employers looking for eager and knowledgeable employees. You can easily find your next dream job and experience the wonders of relocating to a new country by applying with us today.

How to Get a Job Abroad Before Moving

According to Jon Purizhansky, Joblio Platform makes it easy to find new work abroad. If you need a new job and enjoy traveling to distant places, you should consider using this free and practical resource.

With a single platform, Joblio provides a space where workers and employers can communicate with each other without the interference of a middleman. Jon Purizhansky points out that you no longer need to contact a labor broker or agent who will change you extra for finding work. Instead, you can search through the most current job listings from potential employers and filter your results based on your personal criteria and skills to ensure you find the ideal position.

Joblio will conduct an official KYC procedure which includes a background check before you are hired. And once you are matched with an employer, we will start preparing you for employment and moving to a new location. At this time, we will educate you on the language, laws, and culture of your new host country. You will also need to take a medical exam 48 hours before you arrive at your destination.

While working for the employer you found through Joblio, you and your new boss will receive ongoing support from us. That is to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while residing in a different country. Our representatives can assist you with the necessities after moving, such as getting phone service, opening a bank account, and getting medical care.

Montreal Recommendations for Recruitment and their implementation

Joblio.co is a social impact project that protects labor migrants globally and creates efficiency for employers and governments alike. Jon Purizhansky is the founder of Joblio, who points out the importance of the Montreal Recommendations for Recruitment. In 2020 the International Organization for Migration (IOM) published new guidelines for the recruitment and protection of migrant workers, stressing that these people are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Migrant workers can be vulnerable to abuse and exploitation during migration and employment due to factors including unethical recruitment, migration status, fear of deportation, or the inability to find alternative employment, particularly during the current COVID-19 crisis.

It was for this reason, Jon Purizhansky says, that the IOM published new guidance for member states on the regulation of international recruitment and protection of migrant workers. The UN agency said in a statement that the guide, called The Montreal Recommendations on Recruitment: A Roadmap towards Better Regulation provides clear guidance to policymakers on how to protect migrant workers during recruitment, migration, and employment.

The guide is designed to help develop comprehensive, multi-faceted approaches to promote ethical recruitment, enhance transparency and accountability. Regulators have a responsibility to establish and effectively enforce the legal and policy framework under which labor recruiters and employers operate and guarantee their compliance.

Jon Purizhansky also stresses that 100 regulators from more than 30 countries gathered at the Global Conference on the Regulation of International Recruitment, in Montreal, Canada, in June 2019. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) co-hosted this conference in partnership with the Government of Canada and the Gouvernement du Québec, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the United States. The event brought together senior policymakers, leading experts and practitioners from ministries of Labour, Foreign Affairs and Immigration, supported by experts from international and regional organizations, including IOM, International Labour Organization (ILO) and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Jon Purizhansky accents that participants adopted the following recommendations:

(1) Protecting migrant workers;

(2) Recruitment fees;

(3) Registration and licensing;

(4) Administration, inspections and enforcement;

(5) Ratings, rewards and rankings;

(6) Access to grievance mechanisms and dispute resolution;

(7) Bilateral, regional and multilateral mechanisms;

(8) Migrant welfare and assistance; and

(9) Maintaining the momentum on regulation. The 55 recommendations, reproduced below with accompanying commentary, are consistent with international human rights and labour standards, the ILO General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment1 and the multi-stakeholder standard established by the International Recruitment Integrity System (IRIS).2 they provide diverse, practical guidance to governments to enable more effective regulation of international recruitment and protection of migrant workers

Jon Purizhansky concludes that it’s essential that the Montreal recommendations are implemented because they truly reflect the solutions that the global ecosystem requires. The implementation of the Montreal Recommendations is the only practical way to protect labor migrants globally.
