Social media creation/posting x2 accounts for HR Consultancy

Hi Hi!! I have unfortunately had two bad experiences with trust and money being taken/services not delivered in the last three years from social media freelancers; so I am understandably wary and hoping that I can find someone to assist with my urgent social media needs. I need time back to focus on the business, specifically someone to take on my social media accounts on LinkedIn and Instagram. I have a niche, a strong personal brand and message. I run an HR consultancy, so knowing the challenges this possesses [selling a service not a product, and the antiquated view of HR], is going to be vital in me finding the right fit. Brainstorming potential [non-exhaustive] needs below: - Creation of posts, carousels and basic videos [I will record the videos] - Posting with appropriate knowledge of times, days and the best way to increase engagement. - Understanding the types of post, which platform and what is trending [incl. hashtags, best type of media on which day/time etc and any new ideas you think would work]. - Editing videos I already have from speaking gigs and podcasts etc to re use. - Cleverness with re-using media / finding fun ways to post and using media I already have [1000s of small to large video clips and imagery]. - I have a spreadsheet with ideas, post themes etc, however I am not a marketing specialist so would need the individual to understand buyers psychology, how to get my posts interacted with, what works/what doesn't. - Ultimate goal of lead gen via DMs / comments on posts and a strong sales pipeline built for 2026. - I am not focussed on likes and followers, however I do appreciate that the bigger the followers, the more my business is seen. - Bonus if you can do email marketing too [one per month]. - Must haves: Great written English, vocabulary, grammar and spelling. We can share a google drive, I am happy to also have my phone photo album for us by both of us for an easy way to share media. I have a lot of media already but no time to work on editing, hashtags and posting blah blah I am VERY open to ideas, taking direction if there is a video you think may work etc., photos you need me to take for a post. I work best being told what you need from me and by when. I am an owner with a sense of humour, and is needed [especially in HR], it can be good when mixed with knowledge-sharing posts and other themes [you would know what works best and when]. I'd like someone to take control who I can trust to log into my socials, create, post and the potential to monitor and even respond like me should the trust and relationship build that way in the future. A monthly retainer where we agree what is required etc is what I need and would like. This could be a long-term arrangement, so getting the right person is key. Trust. Communication and Honesty is my go-to with hiring freelancers. Especially those putting my business out into the world. This includes great written English, vocab and spelling. An agreement with confidentiality is required to be signed by both parties to ensure we are both protected. My budget is between £20-£35 per hour, but all dependant on the person/offering/relationship. Being able to work together is key. I am very busy and ADHD, so need reminding and telling. Thank you for reading! Kate Founder Elysian

Full-Stack Mobile Developer for App (iOS & Android)

I am looking for a talented mobile app developer (or small agency) to build Pinvera, a community-driven social mapping platform. The app allows users to report and "pin" real-world social encounters to a map, categorized by specific archetypes (Karens, Chads, Legends, and Safety Warnings). The app features a robust moderation system and a gamified experience where users earn tokens, increase their trust score, and compete on a global leaderboard. Key Features & Functionality 1. User Authentication & Profiles Sign-up/Sign-in via Email, Google, and Apple ID. User profiles displaying "Trust Score," "Level," and "Total Tokens." Streak tracking (e.g., 0-day streak) to encourage daily engagement. 2. Interactive Map Interface (Core Feature) A real-time map view (Google Maps or Mapbox integration). Visual "pins" based on the category of the encounter. Filter system to toggle visibility of different pin types (Karen, Chad, etc.). "Current Location" centering and search functionality. 3. Encounter Reporting ("Add Pin") User-friendly form to submit encounters. Categories: Karen: Annoying or entitled behavior. Chad: Positive or funny encounters. Legend: Wholesome or helpful encounters. Warning: Scams, safety alerts, or warnings. Submission Details: Title, Description, Category selection, and Geo-location (automatic or manual). 4. Moderation & Pending System All submitted pins must go to a Pending Queue. Admin/Moderator capability to review, approve, or reject pins before they appear on the public map. A "Pending" tab for users to track the status of their submissions. 5. Gamification & Leaderboard Token System: Users earn tokens for approved pins. Trust Score: A leveling system (Level 1, 2, etc.) based on the accuracy and frequency of reports. Leaderboard: A dedicated "Board" tab showing top users ranked by Tokens, Trust, or Activity. 6. Categorized Feeds Dedicated tabs for "Karen Sightings," "Chad Encounters," "Nice Legends," and "Warnings." Feeds should include "Most Reported" trends for the week (e.g., "Most reported: Phone scams this week"). Technical Requirements Platform: Cross-platform development (Flutter or React Native) to ensure 100% feature parity on iOS and Android. Backend: Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Functions) or a Node.js/PostgreSQL setup. Geolocation: Deep integration with GPS and mapping APIs. UI/UX: I have existing high-fidelity wireframes/screenshots. The developer must be able to replicate the clean, modern aesthetic shown in the designs (rounded containers, soft shadows, and specific iconography). Timeline & Milestones Phase 1: Backend setup & User Authentication. Phase 2: Map integration & Pin submission logic. Phase 3: Admin Moderation panel & Pending flow. Phase 4: Gamification (Tokens/Leaderboards). Phase 5: QA Testing & Deployment to App Store/Google Play. How to Apply Please provide: Examples of previous map-based or social networking apps you have built. Your preferred tech stack for this project. An estimated timeline for an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

Unethical or Fraudulent Behavior

Choose the company name Tesla Amazon Netflix Starbucks JetBlue Walt Disney Proctor & Gamble In your initial post, introduce yourself and address the following: Select the company you'd like to focus on for your project. Summarize an article about unethical and/or fraudulent activity on your selected company. Include the following details in your response: Include the citation. If you can't find unethical or fraudulent activity, review the legal proceedings section of the company's 10-K and summarize one of the lawsuits described there. Explain how the unethical and/or fraudulent activity or lawsuit was resolved and whether it could have been prevented. Part 2 In your responses to two peers, be sure to address the following: If your peer posted an article on unethical and/or fraudulent activity, explain how the accounting department could have prevented the unethical and/or fraudulent activity that happened in the article your peer shared. If your peer posted a lawsuit, explain the potential impact of the lawsuit on its customers and organization as a whole. First respond. Hi everyone, my name is Gagandeep Singh, and I am an accounting student. For this course project, I chose to focus on Amazon because it is a very large company that has faced ethical and legal issues in its business operations. The article I reviewed talks about how Amazon admitted there was a risk of fraud on its platform from counterfeit products being sold by sellers. These fake and counterfeit goods broke the trust of customers, brand owners, and Amazon shareholders since it ruins the trust of the company supplying these items and the shareholders who invest into this company. The article explains that Amazon did not do enough to stop these counterfeit products, which caused concerns about ethics and consumer protection (Brachmann, 2019). Amazon increased efforts to remove counterfeit sellers and fake products from its platform by investing more money into fraud detection systems and brand protection programs. The issue could have been prevented earlier if Amazon had stronger controls and processes of verification in place before allowing sellers to list products. The way to make sure this doesn't happen in the future is to have better monitoring and stricter seller approval processes. Reference Brachmann, S. (2019). Amazon admits to fraud risk: Counterfeiting woes affect shareholders, brand owners and consumers. Inventors’ Digest. Second respond My name is Matt, and I am a junior at Southern New Hampshire University. I am 21 years old and currently pursuing a degree in business-related studies with an interest in accounting and financial analysis. I am looking forward to developing a deeper understanding of earnings quality and ethical financial reporting throughout this course. For my ACC 345 project, I have selected Tesla, Inc. as the company I will be focusing on. Tesla has experienced rapid growth and strong market performance in recent years, but it has also been involved in several ethical and legal controversies that raise questions about earnings quality and corporate governance. A recent article published by Reuters discusses allegations related to Tesla’s marketing and disclosures surrounding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technologies. According to the article, U.S. regulators, including the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have investigated whether Tesla made misleading statements to consumers and investors by overstating the capabilities of its driver-assistance systems. These claims raised ethical concerns because exaggerated or misleading disclosures could influence investor decisions and artificially support stock prices, thereby impacting earnings quality (Shepardson, 2023). The issue has not yet been fully resolved, as investigations were ongoing at the time of publication. However, Tesla has updated some of its disclosures and marketing language to clarify that its vehicles do not offer fully autonomous driving. This situation may have been prevented through stronger internal controls, more conservative public disclosures, and clearer communication with regulators and consumers. Transparent reporting and ethical marketing practices are essential to maintaining investor trust and ensuring that reported earnings reflect the company’s true financial performance.
