• How Does it Work?

  We start by figuring out the most efficient way to get your work done, based on sample work you supply. We distribute your sample work to our crowd, have additional workers check it for accuracy, and come back to you with results for your approval, along with a quote. Once you approve the quote, you send us your work, and can start getting completed tasks back within hours.

• How Fast is Your Service?

• How Do You Assure Quality?

  We start by testing workers using check tasks with known responses. Workers must complete check tasks correctly in order to continue working on your tasks. Work can also be cross-checked by other trusted workers, allowing workers to earn a Credibility score based on the long term accuracy of their work. Those workers who don't complete tasks to our high standards are weeded out. We can also limit certain projects to those workers who have earned a specific credential. If our existing credentials don't map to your project we can create a custom credential that meets your needs.
