Gray Compass is a referral reward based integrated social network platform for people needing to advertise their wants & needs for talent/services and products.

It's the premier referral-tracking system, an all-in-one portal that will allow people to generate buzz about their advertisements ranging from Jobs to Products and reward referrers who direct bidders to them.

It's a simple process of posting the ad in Gray Compass, and then easily broadcasting it to the crowd using integrated social media networks like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Incoming bids and referrers would be processed until acceptance using a simple embedded workflow.

We believe crowd-sourcing works best when the crowd knows it will be rewarded for their work, so using a very simple, easy-to-use escrow system; people who refer bidders can actually get paid for their success and their clicks!!

Well, lets say what if, a social network and advertisement yellow pages blended together and added a method to pay people for engaging in networking. A social media designed to help each other out to promote business and jobs and information... and also contribute to charity... That would be... Gray Compass.

V 1.0 of Gray Compass focus on advertisements for talent needs and services also post advertisements to sell products.

Putting the Crowd to work for you: We believe crowd-sourcing works best when the crowd knows it will be rewarded for their work, so using a very simple, easy-to-use escrow system; people who refer top bids (candidates or people interested in buying your car!) can actually get paid for their success. And businesses can better identify their strongest referrals, thanks to the intelligent logic and analytics that grade the quality of both the candidate and the referrer. 

Gray Compass incentivizes the referral and sharing of information & ads (Jobs & Services) to related audience there by cutting down the clutter and chatter of Social Media and driving to a focus audience. Gray Compass vision is to enable ads for any business and referral of customers for the product / service sold, for now, we are implementing it for the jobs market.

Again, Gray compass would build its own network and uses your own lists as they grow for a prospective customer base. 

Charity and Good cause usage: Gray Compass would provide a platform for to compensate referrers, and to allow the sourcing community to use their rewards to help fund charitable causes ranging from Women's empowerment and Small Business funds.

Gray Compass is directed at helping companies sell their job vacancies or products & services using their Network & the larger Crowd as their helping agents and rewarding them for their time and resources!

The Gray Compass initiative is currently self funded with the prime intention of having business and jobs networked by the SME's.

With our funds, we are on the verge of finishing the web version 1.0 and the mobile application. We would also be working on marketing the solution via social media and other mailer lists etc.

The plans and programs are ready for launch by the end of this month.

Gray Compass can possibly turn around the way business is done. Be it Jobs search / talent scouting or selling a home. Gray Compass purely would be a networking business that sets trend for a 'For the People - By the People - To the People' concept. 

Gray Compass would eventually be opening a gateway for Retail and Financial gateways for every one connected online!

Why do we start with the Job sector:

Whether it's a story on the news about a slower-than-expected national jobs report, or simply news from a friend that they're looking for a new opportunity in a tough job market, jobs are always on our minds. And it's not just the out-of-work who are concerned, companies all over the country say they have an incredibly difficult time finding the right candidate, and are spending too much money and too many man hours either searching for the right fit or spinning up a green candidate.

For small- or medium-sized businesses, the pain has been particularly acute. According to a Wall Street Journal poll last year, about 31% of 811 small-business owners said they had unfilled job openings because they couldn't identify qualified applicants. And in a National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) report released in April of this year, 77 percent of small- to-medium enterprises who were looking to hire in March reported finding few or no skilled applicants for open job positions. The search for the right employee is daunting for smaller businesses, who don't have the resources to cast a wide net, which means strong candidates are slipping through.

Gray Compass hopes to accelerate job placement and ameliorate the pain of unemployment by marshaling the power of the crowd to get people back to work again, and allowing companies to fill their positions with the right candidates. What's surprising is that the world is more connected than ever, and yet job seekers and companies needing employees feel at sea. The crowd is the most powerful job-referral engine ever created, and it's just out there, waiting to help. We are not stopping here, Gray Compass is aimed at showing a direction for businesses that otherwise have a tough time establishing their brand in the multitude of organizations.

Gray Compass points the way.

We are the only platform that unites multiple channels of sourcing with multi level rewards and flexible payment options. More importantly, we are the only site that gives the option of people to do charity to help education of under privileged children and fund startups with reward money.

Gray Compass, helps the community to help themselves.
