BŌKD

The freelance platform where you can BOOK a job you love, whenever you want and wherever you are.

Nobody likes job searching. It’s painfully slow and wasteful…

In today’s job market it’s common to need several months for a job search. Even then, when finally landing a job, over 30% of new hires quit after only 6 months. 

Research shows that 70% of those who stay on their jobs are not engaged at work, costing the U.S. alone over $600 billion in lost productivity each year. This all points to talent wasted as a result of poor alignment with their jobs.

Job search and employment practices have not evolved in over a hundred years!

Despite recent technological advancements and a gazillion new Band-Aid solutions, simply not enough has changed.

We thought…there's gotta be a better way? And we came up with a radical idea…

What if we removed the search entirely…and matched you with opportunities you naturally enjoy, then enabled you to BOOK a job (like booking a vacation rental) - with a tap; whenever you want and wherever you are?

We have built an app that lets you do just THAT! We call it BŌKD.

Hi, my name is Siamak and I’m the founder and creator of BŌKD, a private freelancing app. After working 25 years in Silicon Valley, in corporate and consulting, I noticed the trend of mismatched people and jobs getting worse. The enormity of time and talent wasted within the entire workforce became even more captivating.

Growing at twice the rate of traditional employment, freelancing offers the ideal platform to bring our BŌKD solution to you.

At BŌKD, we have reimagined the future of work. We envision talent and employers achieving new heights from a richer quality of matching. 

Using the BŌKD app you can simply book a job you’ll enjoy, when and where you want from a list of real-time ranked matches. 

Job searches that used to take months, will now take minutes.

BŌKD removes the SEARCH entirely…and MATCHES you with opportunities you naturally enjoy, then enables you to BOOK a job (like booking a vacation) - with a tap; whenever you want and wherever you are. 

Most jobs matchmaking technologies are actually keyword matching providing little more than tantalizing clues.

BŌKD  groundbreaking algorithmic matching technology digs deeper into talent's innate work attributes to increase the quality of matching.

Once a match is identified, BŌKD enables talent to book the freelancing opportunity with just one tap.

BŌKD is the result of a unique blend of neuroscience, deeper work-compatibility algorithm, ranked matching, mobile, geolocation, tap 'n book, social-networking, social-discovery, distinct personalized profiling, and reputational technologies.

We are scheduled to launch and complete a regional beta campaign that will propel BŌKD into production release for the national rollout.

Our goal is to reach 10,000 sustained active monthly members in North America by end of year one. In three years we aim to increase the base to 100,000 members and 1,000,000 members by year five. 

By year five, we will be ready and able to extend BŌKD services to more regions internationally. 

We plan to take full advantage of social media to initially identify and reach out to potential early adopters. Once we reach sustained revenue, we'll pursue other viable marketing strategies to get the word out.

We are still in alpha test phase preparing to launch our private beta test in Q3 2018.

Growing at twice the rate of traditional employment, freelancing offers the ideal platform to bring our BŌKD solution to the job market.

We are aiming to enroll 10,000 private members in the first 12 months. Our goal is to reach over 100,000 sustained members in the successive 3 years of operation.

I have a unique blend of Silicon Valley technology, product design & engineering, corporate & consulting, growth & startup, in a global setting background. Core strength in ideation through customer ship with key roles in design, engineering, production, and general management.

Our revenue model is to initially monetize in three key service offerings: 

1) Membership fees; 

2) Commission fees on each freelancing transaction and; 

3) Job Posting Ads. 

We believe all three conventions are still in good practice and are generally accepted globally.

We believe BŌKD solution addresses our outdated job search and employment practices causing a colossal waste of Time and Talent in labor market at its root. 

Solve platform and community can provide the necessary initial resources and exposure that will advance development and adoption of our product by the wider market.

We envision the initial key challenge to be the communication process reaching out to our two equally important users: Talents (job seekers) and Opportunities (job providers). 

Solve can provide the capacity, resources, and media channels required to reach such double-sided potential targets.

Our early adopters from both sides are critical in paving the road for mass adoption and sustained business operation. Solve can be instrumental in brokering the initial trust.
