New, Free App Connects Veterans with Work Opportunities

Fort Lauderdale, FL, December 23, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Pipe broken, electrical problem, grass is up to your knees or maybe you just need a ride or a delivery. With the recently released hirevet you can get immediate assistance from a Veteran to solve a host of problems or personal needs.

Developed by Next Minute, Inc. (www.nextminuteapp.com), hirevet now is available for free for Android and should be available for iPhone/iPad in a few weeks. The concept is to connect Veterans with customers in real time inside the same local area for immediate service calls. When a Veteran is available they turn on the “available” sign in the app and when a regular user opens the app and selects a service category they see who is available on the map. Users can then click on a Veteran to see a full profile including ratings and reviews from other users.

When a user clicks on a Veteran they can call, text or request with one click. If there is a request made a notice is sent to the Veteran who gets directions on their phone (and to a destination in the case of driving/pick-up/delivery type services) while the user can see the Veteran approaching on the map. When the service is completed, both parties are requested to rate and review the other for the benefit of other app users.

"We owe our Veterans a great debt and the least we can do is to help them find work, i.e. hire them for various services most of us need on a regular basis. We also live in a society where many, if not most, desire immediate gratification and do not want to wait hours, days or weeks to get something done," said Rolv E. Heggenhougen, CEO of Next Minute Inc. "We want it now as ‘now’ is convenient to us, the customer."
