Categorization for differentiation
Current Problems
Worker Perspective
- Workers are not able to find the job that matches their skills
- it is difficult for them to differentiate themselves from other workers with same rating but different skillset.
- There is no way other than being rejected for them to gain feedback from requesters about their performance
Requester Perspective
- Tasks are vulnerable to noisy labels introduced either unintentionally by unreliable workers or intentionally by spammers and malicious worker.
- Difficulty in recruiting the right talent.
- The reliability or reputations of the workers are often unknown
Labeling tasks
- It is time consuming and difficult for workers to find the tasks that match their talents.
Imagine John as a worker who wants to choose a job between job A and job B, B pays higher than A so John decides to choose job B. John does not know that he doesn’t have the skills required for the task B and job A is something he could easily do in a short time. He ends up spending a lot of time on doing task B, and doesn’t do it very well so his work gets rejected. This is an example of how easily knowing the required skills for a job can help workers find the right task to do.
- Categorizing jobs for suggestions
Labeled tasks are very easy to work with when it comes to showing suggestions to workers. We can understand a workers interest and skills based on the tasks they do and how well they perform them so it makes it a lot easier to suggest the right task to person with matching skills.
