INCREASE quality of life and sense of community by connecting residents online

USE metrics to evaluate the success of their programs

JobScout helps residents connect with friends, family, and potential employers, as well as find the relevant information to better their lives.

Organizations need to measure the effectiveness of their programs and the activities of their users so that they can best allocate resources.
