Clickworker.com is the European Market Leader in Paid Crowdsourcing

By Ines Malone, Marketing Manager

Crowdsourcing is the combination of crowd and outsourcing. Unlike traditional outsourcing where work is sent to an outside company, here projects are sent out to be completed by the manpower and collective intelligence of a large number of internet users. Here at clickworker.com we pay these workers for the jobs they complete, therefore it is paid crowdsourcing.

We operate an internet platform for paid crowdsourcing. Through special technology and the work efforts of thousands of internet users, our Clickworkers make it possible for companies to have large projects completed quickly and efficiently.

Our platform was specifically designed to handle projects or tasks that computers can't manage because they require human processing and/or the staffing at the company is not sufficient. A good example is sorting a large amount of data into specific categories. More specifically, let's take the example of the classification of all the emails sent to Company X. Were they a question from a customer, an order, or a complaint? It takes a human to read each email and then place it into the proper category. Another example is collecting data from the internet such as gathering company addresses or contact names.

For these as well as for other tasks such as writing texts and content, organizing and structuring data, or web-research and surveys, we offer companies solutions tailored to fit their needs.

We take care of the entire process from setting up the project to final quality assurance. Smaller and standard jobs such as text writing and translations can also be conveniently launched by the contracting company directly on our online work platform.

Large jobs are divided up into small microjobs which then are completed by our Clickworkers. Clickworkers work freelance for pay, which jobs they select to complete and how many hours they work is entirely up to them. Some jobs require the Clickworker to complete and pass specific, short, online tests in order to qualify to work on them.

Quality assurance is very important to us here at clickworker.com, so besides pre-qualification tests, we also have other quality control measures in place. We employ special processes such as statistical process controls, audits, peer reviews and the continual evaluation and rating of all results to ensure high quality end results.
