In Pakistan, employers do not use LinkedIn to find blue-collar workers. Blue-collar workers also can't use LinkedIn to find work. Those who want jobs can’t find them, and those that want to hire don’t know where to go. Using technology to connect workers with employers, my next guest wants to help solve this problem. 

His name is Bazigh Kiani and he is the co-founder of Bhartee. With Bhartee, you can hire skilled and NADRA-verified blue-collar workers across Pakistan in less than a week.
