Think of rogue spend like your streaming services. Sure, you might not *need* Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, and Max, but... ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ Unfortunately, a few dollars here and another monthly subscription there can have a major monetary impact on any business. Rogue spending is more than just dollars out the door. It's more than a *malevolent* manager purchasing software without approval. It's deeper than one *sneaky* salesperson adding a few seats to another piece of software. (Incidentally, I couldn't find a single example of a marketing team member guilty of rogue spending! ?? Weird ??) While each instance of program deviance might appear minor, over time, they add up — and can negatively impact the company’s financial performance. To get to the root of your rogue spend issues, understand why it happens in the first place. (Hint: it's often an employee experience problem)

?? Artificial Intelligence is only as sophisticated as the humans behind it. As AI becomes increasingly sophisticated, data labelers' skills and expertise must match the quality. The employment of data labelers is?shifting towards more specialized and complex tasks. ?? GenAI's performance depends on reliable, high-quality, HUMAN-LED training. When the evaluation of the labeling is no longer as straightforward as right vs wrong—but teams still need that flexibility and speed—companies benefit from a hybrid workforce. ?? Looking to build or expand a data labeling team for GenAI? This one's for you. Our guide to building a data labeling team (linked in the comments!) details the crucial steps to transition into more specialized and flexible team setups that meet modern challenges. #AIworkforce #extendedworkforce #contingentlabor #contingentworkforce #staffing #talentacquisition #procurement

?? Whoops, I dropped some stats about contingent workers! Before you rush to the comment section, "Gerard, you're always dropping stats!" let me educate you. While giraffes *technically* have forelimbs (aka arms), we are mostly good at being really tall. So, yeah, sometimes we drop things! Where was I? Right, the stats! Did you know... ?????? 40% of global workers are contract (or contingent) workers.? (source: Procurious) And before you say, "Well, that's probably not by choice—" ?????? 70% of contingent workers are contractors by choice, rather than because they can’t find full-time employment. (source: ADP) As the desire for flexibility and autonomy only increases, we've been focusing on topics like employee happiness, engagement, team-building, feedback, and employee appreciation. Specifically, as the contingent workforce grows, employers must learn how to replicate the old "water cooler" camraderie with their contract workforce. That's why we published our latest blog post, How to Keep Your AI Workforce Engaged and Happy! But, I'd also love to hear your thoughts. What kinds of content would you like to see about contract employees, managing contract programs, skills-based hiring, growing global teams, and being a giraffe in tech?

In any workplace ?? > ?? 87% of employees report that meaningful recognition impacts their job satisfaction. Job satisfaction leads to reduced errors, increased engagement, better retention, and an overall better experience for employers and employees alike. But what is recognition? Is it a pay raise? Is it an all-company email praising your work? Is it a pizza party thrown in your honor? Recognition is... not that complicated (although pizza parties are always welcome ??) Making your employees feel valued and trustworthy is fairly simple—and the same attention should be paid to your contract workforce. Today, on the blog, we're talking about our favorite emoticon, the smiley face. Specifically, we're exploring how to keep your AI workforce engaged and happy.

This superyacht owner learned a $3 million lesson about recruiting and training from a box of Brillo pads. ??? Imagine this scenario: Your superyacht is all staffed and ready to hit the high seas when you notice a $3 million piece of art is missing. Relatable, right? ?? That’s exactly what happened when a crew member accidentally discarded an authentic Andy Warhol Brillo Box sculpture. ?? Warhol created three life-sized versions of the Brillo boxes in 1964. His yellow, red, and blue wooden Brillo boxes famously fetched $3 million in a 2010 Christie’s auction. So, whose fault was this? As super yachts increasingly become floating art galleries, it’s in the best interest of the yacht owners to ensure that crews are familiar with the valuable artworks onboard. This is a fairly straightforward recruiting and training issues. Superyachts containing priceless artworks should be staffed with attention similar to that of an art gallery.?This means assembling a crew (or hiring a single crew member) with experience in both yachting and art conservatorship. ?? After all, nobody wants a third steward taking a magic eraser to a Marcel duChamp toilet. Making the wrong hire can be a costly mistake. Luckily, HireArt can help you with your *unique* staffing needs. https://lnkd.in/e-DAs9pp #recruiting #onboarding #training #staffing #contractworkforce

?? Building or expanding your AI team? Up until recently, data labeling and other AI tasks were accomplished primarily off-shore through crowd-sourced workers. Every day, AI is becoming more sophisticated and, well, intelligent. As LLMs become more sophisticated, AI teams need to employ expert-level workers to decode and interpret specialized data. Our AI Compensation Survey gives a peek into the trends affecting the immediate future of AI. Check out this blog post, which summarizes some of our biggest takeaways. And stay tuned for more insights into AI, data labeling, contract workforces, and much more. #AI #datalabeling #contractworkforce #futureofAI #AIcompensation
