In a July 6 CrowdSource feature in Illinois Business Journal, COO Erin Steinbruegge says there's strong demand via a list of clients and freelancers who want to work and interact directly on CrowdSource software.. The nature and timing of the launch are not yet entirely clear.
Take your writing, transcribing, or other specialized task to Microworkers, and they'll enlist help from a group of qualified workers with special skills already proven in similar tasks. Microworkers has a new feature that competitors don't offer; the website recently announced in a blog post that Microworkers is now supplying prescreened specialized worker groups for requesters with specialized jobs. The use of these groups is an option for requesters who don't want to find and qualify workers, but there are a few limitations.
Requesters will soon be able to upgrade to AMT's elite masters qualification workforce for an additional 3.5 to 4.1 percent on their total bill. The overall amount paid will be more with thenew AMT fees scheduled for July 22, but the new lower percentage fee for masters workers makes that workforce less expensive comparatively. It remains to be seen whether this will result in a large shift towards hiring masters workers, or a bolstered reluctance to swallow the extra fee.
