Who We Are
Quiky is a student-run startup that empowers college students by allowing
them to find flexible work without breaking their schedules.
Nick Condry Colin McFaul
Our Vision
“Earning money should be simple.”
Businesses have more money than time, and college students have more time than
money.
We’re here to balance that equation.
A Platform for Everyone
Quiky provides a platform where any college student can interview once to
receive access to short-term job postings.
Quiky Partners work on their own time. You choose which jobs you want, and
which you don’t. Take 5 jobs a week, or none, depending on your schedule.
Our Values
Our business is based on one key factor:Customer Service.
We break this down into 5 components:1) Friendliness2) Alertness3) Knowledge4) Attitude5) Posture
Friendliness
We are in the customer service business and what we do is serve and please
people.
It is our job to be gracious and friendly at every job regardless of context.
Remember to smile! -- it’s the little things that will take you the furthest.
Alertness
This begins with arriving at work early with energy, excitement, and a genuine
desire to do your best.
We expect our partners to be able to adapt and perform in different
environments. Be aware of your surroundings and always think about
what else you can do to help.
Knowledge
You were accepted as a partner because you have the tools to succeed.
Stay relaxed but confident. All of the details for your job are included in the qualification test. When in doubt, don’t
be afraid to ask a manager or a supervisor for direction.
Attitude
You must always be positive and active!
Our partners are excited to work and are prepared to take on whatever tasks are
thrown their way.
When you arrive at a job, you leave your outside cares at the door and project a
professional and upbeat face.
Posture
All partners should stand tall with a look of confidence that will tell the
client they know what they are doing.
When at work, you should not slouch or lean. Professionalism is a must, and
we trust our partners to maintain a competent image.
Expectations
“With great flexibility comes great responsibility.”
When you apply for a job, you are committing to it. Failure to attend a job will result in the immediate termination of your partnership.
If an unexpected medical or family emergency arises, you should immediately notify your job
manager.
Types of Work
While we will eventually expand to cover all kinds of work, we’re focusing
on 4 main verticals to start with:
1) Canvassing2) Event Staffing3) Data Entry4) Catering
Canvassing
Political and other organizations require workers to walk door-to-door over a
pre-selected route to raise awareness for a cause or ask basic questions.
Example: You might be tasked with knocking on every door on 3 streets and
asking residents who they are planning to vote for in an upcoming election.
Event Staffing
In 2014 there were 844 conventions and meetings in Washington DC. These
events frequently require short-term staff to greet guests and answer basic
questions among other tasks.
Example: You might be tasked with greeting guests and signing them into an
event on an iPad.
Data Entry (Clerical Work)
Offices routinely need extra hands to help with filing, data entry, and other
simple administrative tasks.
Example: A company may need you to answer phone lines or find the address of every local Mexican restaurant and input
them into an excel spreadsheet.
Catering
You will need to pass a service test to qualify for catering positions.
Events often require additional hands serving food.
Example: A caterer might require workers to serve food from a buffet at a holiday
party.

Qualifying for a Job
While you won’t have to interview for any jobs, you will have to qualify. This means you must know the basic details of who you’ll be working for, what you’ll be doing, where the
job is, etc.
For every job, we’ll provide a brief dossier with all the required information. You’ll read the dossier, take a brief test confirming the
details, and then you can take the job.
Processing Payments
“Go to work, get paid, same day, no hassle.”
Quiky provides work, and pay, when you need it. Once you complete a job, you’ll immediately
be given a check with your earnings.
Each job has a standard base pay of $10/hr. Some jobs may offer more, but no job will offer
less.
Earning More
We offer three main ways to earn more money through Quiky: external
recruitment, internal recruitment, and GPA boosts.
External Recruitment
The more workers we have, the more jobs we can take, and the more options our
workers have.
Workers can contact us to receive a recruitment link. For every 20 friends that
apply through their link, we’ll pay the recruiter $20. This is a great opportunity for well connected students at newly reached
colleges.
Internal Recruitment
“Friends work better together.”
We want friends to work together. Once you sign up for a job, you can invite your friends who are Quiky Partners to take the job with you. If they
accept, you’ll each receive an extra $1/hr.
Example: If you invite 5 friends to work with you on a canvassing job, you’ll earn $15/hr and
they’ll each earn $11/hr.
GPA Boost
We value academic excellence at Quiky. You’ll earn a constant $0.10 extra for every tenth of a point your GPA is above 3.0. To
receive this bonus, you’ll need to submit an up-to-date transcript every semester.
Example: If you have a GPA of 3.7, your base pay rate will be $10.70/hr before
other bonuses.
