I'm not sure I see the value in limiting the task-runners to students. For the client, it seems to artificially-limit the size of the labor pool. For the student, its simply another one of many on-demand services that are already competing for their labor. The market for cheap college labor is already saturated by services like these. Most of the suggested tasks on the website are also things that anyone could do. Dog walking, babysitting, housekeeping, moving furniture, tech support. These are services that any worker can do and any client can already access on existing services like Task Rabbit. I just don't see how this service is differentiated from the torrent of other task services out there.

I was introduced to QuadJobs a few weeks ago. Basically, they're giving college students jobs by making them a workforce for local businesses. Tasks like babysitting, tutoring, internships, office work -- stuff college students are good at! It's in a good but competitive market, but there's definitely a strong niche in the college market for a new sharing economy startup. Also really awesome founders -- dedicated to the cause.

I love it - matching talented college kids with employers who need the flexible labor in a relatively on-demand capacity and closing the loop by providing the kids with ratings and experience for their future. Great for local businesses or national businesses that operate in multiple locations.

I like the idea of a pre screened "tasker" - I am definitely going to give this a try and also have my kid sign up for it too.

I love this. We built something similar when I was in college and took it through a tech accelerator, but the two sided marketplace proved too difficult to scale at the time. We were also around in the time that Zaarly had gone through their funding trying something similar and TR had just laid people off from HQ, so funding was scarce for a two-sided marketplace. I'm glad to see someone else giving it a try!

This is a great idea, is it available in all markets in USA?

Does this apply for remote jobs as well?

Great idea. I actually love the fact that it is limited to college students. I often wanted to hire college students and it was really hard to connect with them on other job boards. Most often I succeeded by pinning help wanted posters at universities. Will definitely want to use quadjobs

Thanks Boris, music to our ears.

Thanks Jeff, we're humming in the tristate area (NJ, CT, NY), Columbus OH, and Chicago. We've got students at 300+ schools, expanding quickly.

Thanks Steve! when a student applies for your job, you see the jobs they've worked in your community and reviews/ ratings from neighbors who've hired them in past.

From student perspective: - Free. We don't take a penny from students to use the site, all money they make goes to them. - "JobGPA" (feedback loop) makes small jobs mean more. QJ tracks each job a student takes and gathers performance reviews, so every small job counts toward track record. - Employers come on site looking specifically for college labor, so the jobs are well-suited for college students and they have better chance of being hired than they would on general on-demand job sites. From employer perspective: - Bridges surprising divide between college and community. You can live next to a campus and have a hard time hiring a student for part-time or one-time jobs. Connection to multitalented labor force that can handle a wide range of jobs, from help at home to support at work. - Natural goodwill toward students; helping students gain experience - Target jobs that employers specifically want students for (babysitting, for example, or staffing a party.) - Well-priced. $8.95/month covers unlimited job postings, no additional costs (unlike TaskRabbit which takes a commission on jobs).

I'm a huge fan of QuadJobs! Have used them several times; started with personal jobs and expanded into using them for my business as well. Super easy to use with a large, well-vetted talent pool. Looking forward to seeing the business grow!

Awesome - fills the gap from having to use low tech paper ads and even Craigslist. This is an excellent idea to help utilise a transient but highly skilled workforce. Wish it had been around when I was in college!
