The idea of this project is very cool. I have a question about the how to deal with the dispute between the students and the employers? For example, the employers are not satisfied with the work and refuse to pay?
This is good question and we have plans to deal with those issues.
1. Rating/reputation system will be in place which will allow both student and employer rate each other. When hiring employer and students when undertaking the work will be able to review those ratings.
2. Students will be able to build resume based on the work and tasks provided to employers, this way any unfavorable ratings would show up.
3. We will implement escrow service for additional fees and both employer and the student will be able to signup for this service to protect themselves. This way payments can be released according to the milestones and only after both parties sign off.
Both parties would have to come to terms themselves for money to be released or returned.
4. We are considering options to dedicate certain percentage of fees towards members contributing to the community who could support arbitration process and conflict resolution.
