Is your company or organization facing immediate data issues that need solving? Fear not: A crowd of four million contributors from more than 90 countries are standing by to help you analyze, sanitize or even generate large data sets!

Unfortunately, unemployment is still an issue talked about frequently in the news. Due to the economic difficulties the last couple of years, many people have lost their jobs not because they were bad at them, but simply because their employers couldn’t and still can’t afford to pay them. In addition, recent graduates have to compete for jobs with both each other and far more experienced people as less positions are offered – leaving a large amount of well-educated, hard working and skilled people with little way of earning a reliable income.

On the other hand, the companies are suffering too. Just because they can’t afford the laid off workers, it doesn’t mean they don’t still need them. Many have lost their in-house competencies and need to outsource their tasks in the most sufficient and economical way.

And this is where CrowdFlower comes into the picture. Bridging the gap between demand and supply, CrowdFlower helps bring companies and contributors together through the world’s leading crowdsourcing service. The platform uses crowdsourcing techniques to provide a wide range of enterprise solutions which process or create large amounts of data. Crowdsourcing is a technique in which a job traditionally performed by an individual or small team is completed by a virtual workforce.

CrowdFlower’s expertise is in harnessing a virtual workforce, taking complicated projects and breaking them down into small, simple tasks, which are then completed by individual contributors (crowd workers). With over 800 million tasks submitted by over four million contributors from 90 countries, CrowdFlower specializes in microtasking: distributing small, discrete tasks to many online contributors in an assembly-line fashion.

CrowdFlower essentially offers freelance jobs for everyone interested in contributing, providing people with income and a place to use their skills, while companies gain access to the world's largest crowdforce, along with smart workflows and strict quality control mechanisms. This combined provides quality results and fast turnaround time for a low cost.

Whether you are unemployed or just looking to benefit from or share your talents, CrowdFlower is a great way to empower people by putting their skills to good use and sharing them with the world.
