　　In recent years, many major Internet companies have launched their own part-time crowdsourcing platform products, releasing some businesses in the form of crowdsourcing, and registered users of the platform get paid for completing tasks.

Compared with general online part-time jobs, these part-time job platforms endorsed by major Internet companies can gain more trust from workers.

However, many practitioners also said that the current development of these platforms is not perfect, and the benefits are gradually decreasing.

　　"Souhuobang", "xx Weigong", "Gypsophila", "Bamboo Festival", "xx Crowdtest"... In recent years, many major Internet companies have launched their own part-time crowdsourcing platform products, crowdsourcing part of their business It is released in the form of , and registered users of the platform get paid by completing tasks.

These work tasks released by major Internet companies not only help companies optimize resources and time, but also allow workers to use fragmented time to earn income and realize work orders anytime, anywhere, which has become a new part-time job choice for many people.

　　The task is flexible and simple, attracting many young people

　　Yuan Jie, who came to work in Tianjin from Hebei, is currently engaged in some flexible employment jobs, including receiving tasks on multiple part-time crowdsourcing platforms.

According to her estimation, the average daily income can reach more than 100 yuan when it is the highest.

"Basically, they are text transcription or data collection tasks. Simple tasks can be completed in five minutes. It is still possible to complete more than 100 orders in a day. Determine the workload according to your own efficiency and the difficulty of the task."

　　Dong Jiayuan in Beijing also registered a part-time crowdsourcing app of a major Internet company, planning to use his spare time to earn more part-time income.

He said: "On the platform, there are simple tasks such as marking, correcting, and transcribing, and more professional part-time jobs such as online customer service and editing. You can receive fragmented tasks at any time. Mobile phones and computers can be operated, which is very convenient."

　　The reporter observed that these part-time crowdsourcing platforms launched by major Internet companies outsource some simple and repetitive tasks to non-specific people in the form of free and voluntary tasks. Most of the part-timers do not have too many technical requirements. After completing the assessment of the study course, you can receive the task.

　　Compared with other part-time jobs, the part-time crowdsourcing platforms of Internet giants have some notable features.

"Before, I also did some part-time jobs, but there are many advertisements and scams for online part-time jobs, the information is mixed and needs to be screened, and it is difficult to carry out offline part-time jobs at any time. The credibility of the big Internet companies is high, and there is a certain degree of payment and withdrawal through official channels. Guarantee.” In Dong Jiayuan’s view, these tasks are flexible and simple, can be carried out anytime and anywhere, and can quickly earn benefits, attracting many young people around him to register and use.

　　From the perspective of the operation process, it generally includes the platform publishing tasks, users receiving and completing tasks, and users earning benefits after platform review.

Based on the situation of each platform, the tasks mainly include data collection, voice and text transcription, picture and video annotation, text or audio collection, translation and dubbing, telephone or online customer service, etc. The task price ranges from 0.1 yuan to dozens of yuan.

　　Take Yuan Jie’s most used part-time crowdsourcing platform “Sohuobang” as an example. After registering the APP, you need to complete the assessment first, and judge what kind of work can be completed before pushing the task.

Yuan Jie said: "There are clear requirements in the task, which can distinguish what is easy to do and what is not good to do. Before receiving the task, you need to pass an exam to obtain qualifications. The content of the test is related to the task content or requirements. If you are careful, you can pass. After the task is completed and submitted for review, the platform currency will be issued and used to exchange for cash.”

　　"I took more than a dozen tasks and earned less than 5 yuan"

　　However, the current user experience does not seem to be perfect for the seemingly simple workflow of receiving tasks, doing tasks, and waiting for review.

Download the software and find that there are no tasks to do, the task requirements are complex, time-consuming and laborious, the task review time is long and the rewards are slow, and the task failure rate is high, resulting in reduced income...Users will encounter various problems during the part-time job process.

　　After logging into the part-time crowdsourcing platform of the above-mentioned big factories, the reporter also found that there are not many tasks that can be collected on some apps, the demand for tasks is not high, and some apps even show a blank state.

At the same time, the requirements for the tasks that can be received are also very strict, and there are only 5 chances to take the exam before accepting the order.

There are also some jobs that have not simple requirements for part-timers, such as language translation and transcription, which require the respondent's language proficiency and take a long time.

　　In addition, if there are too few part-time jobs released by the platform, stable income cannot be obtained, and it is difficult for workers to use them as their main part-time jobs.

Dong Jiayuan said that whether he can make money has a lot to do with his proficiency. "In the past, if there were few people who did it, you could make money. Now, if there are too many people who do it, it's worthless. I have already accepted more than a dozen tasks today. Switching After earning less than 5 yuan, repetitive labor and lower and lower prices will make many people give up."

　　While the part-time crowdsourcing platform brings work to everyone, Internet companies do not only target ordinary users of the client.

Compared with individuals, it is easier for teams to obtain tasks and quotations on part-time crowdsourcing platforms.

For example, in the Zhujie Crowdsourcing APP, the guild needs to quote for claiming tasks, and individuals receive tasks through the guild.

　　After working part-time on the platform for more than two years, Yuan Jie also felt that the turnover of personnel on the part-time platform is very high.

"With regard to the part-time crowdsourcing products currently on the market, many tasks are pushed irregularly. After new users register, there may be no tasks to receive on the platform. Compared with guild teams, the speed and quality of completing tasks for individuals cannot be achieved. Guarantee. Individual users on the platform are in a weak position and earn very little money.”

　　The employment method is not perfect, and the risk still exists

　　In fact, major Internet companies have always had this form of crowdsourcing part-time business.

Big Internet companies are targeting crowdsourcing and part-time job platforms in terms of employment methods, outsourcing non-core processes, and part-time crowdsourcing is becoming more and more popular in the Internet industry.

　　However, from the perspective of protecting the rights and interests of workers, the employment method of part-time jobs on the platform is still not perfect, and risks still exist.

When users do tasks on such platforms, there is no guarantee agreement other than signing a "user agreement" when registering.

Lei Jiamao, a lawyer from Hebei Hounuo Law Firm, said: "This type of employment method is difficult to determine the establishment of a labor relationship between the worker and the platform, and it is generally difficult to identify an accident during part-time work as a work-related injury."

　　"When working part-time, you must also pay attention not to infringe on other people's intellectual property rights and other legal rights, and pay attention to whether it is a formal part-time platform, otherwise your own labor remuneration may not be guaranteed, and you may even face the risk of being defrauded." Lei Jiamao reminded that workers should Choose a formal platform to engage in part-time jobs and pay attention to evidence preservation. When registering, you should carefully read the user agreement, record and save the user agreement and relevant information on the part-time job page, pay attention to work traces during the part-time job process, and keep work process, work results and process communication related Evidence, when encountering problems, contact the platform in time and store the evidence. If you cannot negotiate with the platform to solve the problem, you should sort out the relevant evidence as soon as possible and solve it through legal channels.

　　The transformation of part-time crowdsourcing employment forms also poses challenges to the operation and management of Internet companies.

Regarding the future development of part-time crowdsourcing platforms, Lawyer Lei believes that no matter how the form of employment changes, laborers are required to engage in specific jobs. This requires enterprises to pay more attention to the protection of labor rights and shoulder more social responsibilities while self-innovating. In order to maintain a harmonious and win-win relationship between labor and capital, so that enterprises and workers can grow together.
