Data labeling projects are only as successful as the backend processes
Behind every successful data labeling project there are processes to ensure efficacy and efficiency. While every step of a project has value, one key component of operations that cannot be understated is effective labeler hiring.
Effective labeler hiring is critical to the success of a project because labelers are the cornerstone of a productive backend. If labeler competency is so important, what is it that we look out for to guarantee we hire the best talent?
People Who Are Detail-Oriented
Quality is crucial to labeling projects, and if the goal is to begin quickly, attention to detail is extremely valuable. It is not always reasonable to sink hours into training, especially when it can be simple to spot candidates who are detail-oriented. Reviewing applications for dashes between phone numbers, concise answers to questions, and accurate capitalizations are all indicators of detail-oriented candidates. Based on the scope of work, the specifics may change but the process remains the same to extract important information from an applicant pool.
People Who Are Motivated to Work
Someone’s willingness to work can be a major determiner for the success of a project. Without motivated labelers, the quality and timeline of a project may be compromised. While a candidate may have the perfect experience and seem the most suitable for a position on paper, they need to have the motivation required. In the application, did the candidate take the time to answer every question thoroughly? Do they seem to have put thought into each response? This line of questioning can help determine level of enthusiasm.
People Who Are Learning Focused
Data labeling can require varying areas of expertise depending on the industry of a specific project. In some cases, it may be necessary to expand the scope to candidates outside of traditional subject matter experts. People who are eager to learn tend to persevere, retain important information, and be more willing to ask necessary and important questions. Not every project is seamless, and having persistent and determined labelers can make a significant difference in these scenarios. We look for prospective labelers who follow up on their applications and offers solutions to potential roadblocks.
People Who Are Analytical
Data labeling can become overwhelming, especially when the data is complex. The importance of a labeler’s ability to identify minor data points in large projects cannot be underemphasized. In order to guarantee quality, labelers need to be meticulous in their labeling. We search for candidates who can determine the high-level skills necessary for a project and highlight them on their applications.
