Jobs Board (Ekurhuleni) - The Hidden Worker

The Hidden Worker Foundation

Jobs Board

Ekurhuleni Pilot • Verification-first matching

This board lists active job requests submitted on our platform. During the pilot, workers do not contact clients directly. The Foundation verifies, confirms availability, then connects both sides. Updated manually during the pilot (moderation-first).

How to claim a job (pilot rule):
1) Create your Worker Profile first (ID + phone).
2) Then claim a job via WhatsApp using the same phone number and your ID last 4 digits.
No profile = no match. This reduces scams and protects everyone.
