What the guide covers
The six-step engagement pipeline
From defining the work precisely to calibration, staged ramping and a permanent QA layer — how a well-run expert engagement flows.
What to screen for
The five qualities that predict success in training and evaluation work: domain depth, edge-case judgment, guideline discipline, writing and reliability.
Screening methods that work
Paid work samples, calibration tests and structured interviews — and why résumés alone mislead.
Common mistakes
Skipping calibration, scaling before the pilot proves out, hiring on price alone — the pitfalls that quietly ruin datasets.
Models & checklist
Hourly experts, dedicated pods, project delivery and QA-only layers — plus a ten-point pre-launch checklist to run before your first batch.
Who it is for
Teams building or evaluating AI systems who need dependable human expertise — data operations leads, ML programme managers and founders who want the hiring part done properly the first time.
