How LITCAF’s Digital Business Card helps

 

Making that awkward call to a former boss asking for a referral is one of those stressful things about the employment market. But this can get even worse for the Self-Employed. The feeling one is name- dropping, the lack of real evidence in the part of the client that they have seen judicious deliverer of product or services, is an headache. Until the advent of professional social media the norm was for recruiting companies to make requests to candidates’ past places of work hoping on getting a prompt response in confidence. On the part of a past employer they do not have the absolute freedom to make their recommendation. There can be legal backlash for how they choose to represent past employees, if it is false, and they are aware of this. As common as it is, pre-recruitment feedback can be really cumbersome. This is why the new age option by professional social media offers some respite. When one finally obtain a couple of valuable recommendation that raises no crippling questions professionals can be rest assured they have become legitimate candidates for opportunities.

 

For all its innovation, the professional social media’s clinical approach creates doubt if the old analogue model isn’t even better. Confidentiality which is missing in these media happens to be the hallmark of the recommendation process. Very few former bosses would delight in making nasty remarks about a former employee who reaches out to them for a referral. Realization of this fact serves to weaken whatever power recommendation acquired by such means ought to carry. There is also a question of what a referral for one’s product or service should cost if you are getting it from paid customers. Why should anyone have to advertise for an expert again after making their payment in full. If the Professional decide on giving a discount to have a kind word from them in return how much of a bribe that would be? These are the most obvious of the lacuna in the value architecture. For bridging this gap LITCAF scores a goal. As a third party authenticator it scales the process for efficient delivery. LITCAF provides therefore a digital business card that also does the work of recommendation through its dynamic referral system which speaks to prospects on behalf of users in similar ways to the old system which professional social media seek to supplant. The excitement in this must not be missed.

 

There is no more need for candidates to make that awkward call requesting for a referral- or a self- employed to ask for a blurb. There exists some dignity in the process as well as the end-product. The LITCAF Contactless Business Card is therefore a tool for legitimate authentication of a professional’s claim as delivered by a third party with the mark of trust by their respective professional associations, like the Nigerian Institute of Architects, thrusted.
