247Tasker Officially Launches: Bridging the Global Gig Economy for All Professionals
247Tasker, Pakistan’s groundbreaking international freelance platform, has officially made its debut, marking a significant advancement in the global gig economy. This innovative platform distinguishes itself by connecting both high-tech professionals and local service providers on a single, comprehensive marketplace designed for inclusivity.
Conceived by entrepreneur Haroon Usman and guided by CEO Hamza Khalid, this new venture introduces an innovative framework for the future of employment. It seamlessly merges digital freelancing roles with on-site opportunities, promoting economic equality across various skill sets. Unlike many established platforms that primarily cater to remote digital workers, 247Tasker comprehensively integrates online specialists—such as designers and developers—with local service providers including masons and electricians. This hybrid approach bridges a long-standing divide in the gig economy.
Haroon Usman, the founder, shared his motivation, stating, “I found the disconnect in talent acquisition frustrating. While I could easily collaborate with international designers using advanced tools, local service providers often involved manual payments and scattered communications. This felt inefficient.” He added that with 247Tasker, the aim is to affirm that all skills are equal, and every professional merits access to robust digital infrastructure.

Key Features of 247Tasker’s Launch
Upon its launch, 247Tasker introduces a robust suite of tools designed to empower both clients and freelancers. These features prioritize safety, efficiency, and inclusivity:
- Integrated Project Management: A unified system for file sharing, progress tracking, and collaboration, streamlining workflows.
- Secure Communications: Built-in chat, audio, and video calling, with all interactions securely logged for trust and accountability.
- Escrow Payments (Stripe): Transparent transactions powered by Stripe, ensuring funds are released only once job approval is granted.
- Community Engagement: A unique social-style feed allowing professionals to showcase work, post updates, and share job listings.
- Accessible Pricing: Free job postings, with freelancers benefiting from a competitive flat 11% commission rate—one of the lowest in the industry.
A standout innovation within the platform is “Ghufran,” a smart AI assistant. This embedded feature automates routine tasks, assists both freelancers and clients, and enhances matching accuracy. Ghufran offers AI-driven onboarding for new freelancers, provides intelligent job recommendations based on skills and location, and suggests optimal budget ranges for clients. For on-site taskers, it offers digital tool usage guidance in local languages, further demonstrating 247Tasker’s commitment to accessibility.
In a competitive gig-economy landscape, 247Tasker distinguishes itself through several leading-edge innovations. These include advanced AI-powered job matching algorithms, rigorous multi-step verification processes, and a groundbreaking map-based radius search. This unique feature allows clients to easily locate nearby on-site taskers. CEO Hamza Khalid elaborated, “This platform transcends the typical freelance model. By uniting local search capabilities with global opportunities, we’re providing a mason in Jhelum the same exposure as a marketer in New York.”
At its heart, 247Tasker is dedicated to fostering economic equality and addressing unemployment challenges in developing nations. Its mission is to empower youth and freelancers with dignified work while connecting diverse talents with global markets. By extending advanced digital tools to tradespeople and local workers, traditionally accessible only to tech freelancers, the platform redefines the global service economy’s future. Haroon Usman concluded, “247Tasker is more than a marketplace; it serves as a crucial bridge—connecting local with global, digital with physical, and ultimately, opportunity with equality.”
