How many hours do you spend looking for and contacting reliable employees for your projects? Are you wasting time on the phone and email to cover shifts and deal with constant changes? Try crowdsourcing with OnSinch. You simply offer the job online, workers apply for it themselves using the Self-Registration for Workers feature, and it’s done.
What is Crowdsourcing?
In general, crowdsourcing involves seeking information, knowledge, or services from a large body of people, usually over the internet.
You know how Uber connects “a crowd” of available drivers with people who need a ride through their application? That’s an example of crowdsourcing in business. And crowdsourcing for securing workers is similar. You offer a job position to a large group of available employees with the appropriate experience using OnSinch's Worker Database, and then you just wait for them to take it on.
Advantages of Crowdsourcing with OnSinch
Speed and Flexibility
Crowdsourcing solutions have many advantages over other forms of employment. It is usually faster and easier thanks to online communication and the large number of available workers who can substitute each other using OnSinch's Shift Scheduling and Coordination. If you need to complete a job quickly, divide it into several smaller tasks and use more workers at once.
Cost Optimization
With crowdsourcing through OnSinch, you save time and money as well as your own energy. At the lowest possible cost, you can get more than when assigning a task to one person or organization. It is ideal for temporary work and occasional tasks that would otherwise unnecessarily raise the overhead costs of internal employees.
Data Centralization
One of the biggest advantages of crowdsourcing with OnSinch is the ability to work with people with special skills that your internal team may not have. The larger your contact database using OnSinch's Worker Database, the better your chances of finding exactly what you are looking for. In practice, this certainly does not mean that anyone who has the time can take up the job without having the appropriate experience. To ensure the provision of a reliable workforce, you must have effective tools like OnSinch's Rating System to help you set and control your job requirements.
