Jobhuk.com a Crowdsourcing Platform for Hiring Which was launched at SXSW 2013 is Now One of the Hottest Start-ups in Austin,TX


Austin,TX (PRWEB) March 15, 2013

It is never less exciting for start-ups launching at SXSW. This year one of the startups Jobhuk.com, launched at the SXSW Startup Spotlight, has become the new buzzword on the street. Jobhuk.com says they are on a mission to disrupt the human capital space with “CrowdSourced Hiring.”

Their revolutionary recruiting platform is focused on hiring through crowdsourced referrals. Jobhuk leverages human network, the crowd, around the world to support and get best referrals for employers trying to hire best resources. It benefits employers avoiding all regular spam they experience in their hiring process. The crowd gets incentives as heavy as 1%-15% of the gross salary, as a Finders Fee set by employers for each successful hire.

Jobhuk’s has two side for it, First, “Hire by Referral” reveals that all applicants must be referred by a Jobhuk user, defined by anyone with a LinkedIn, Facebook, or simply an email account. Second, “Refer and Get Paid” means that the referring Jobhuk users gets paid finders fee when their referral is hired.

Praneeth Patlola, founder of Jobhuk.com has spent several years in the staffing and recruiting industry. He knew there was a better and more efficient way for companies to find great candidates. Recruiting firms charge commissions of up to 30%, a very costly endeavor to gain access to a relatively limited candidate pool. Online hiring platforms often charge high fees and produce unqualified talent and spam with no guaranteed results. 90% of team he has built was based on referrals to whom he says, he paid a decent amount of referral fees. He spent years searching for the best recruits, experimenting with various methodologies to source qualified candidates. After much trial and error, Patlola identified referrals as consistently the best recruits and most likely to become successful hires. He says, everyone, including himself asks the same question to friends, friends of friends, family members, and co-workers, “Do you know anyone who would be a good fit for this position?” The unveiling of Jobhuk allows employers to ask the same question, but now in real time, to tens of millions of Facebook, LinkedIn, and other network users.

Corbin Bernsens Crowdsourcing Venture, Powsumer, to Use Big Data


Akron, Ohio (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Powsumer a new consumer-driven pricing website founded by Corbin Bernsen, will use “big data” to pursue the best deals for shoppers, according to a recent article on Akron Beacon Journal Online. Since the launch of a funding campaign on the Indiegogo crowdsourcing site, Powsumer has drawn attention for its use of crowdsourcing to fund a crowd-powered venture.

“Indiegogo is a great way to launch Powsumer,” says Corbin Bernsen, co-founder and president, Powsumer. “Powsumer will rely on broad-based internet participation to bring the best deals to consumers, much the same way Indiegogo uses the internet to crowd-source funds for many worthy causes.”

The Journal noted: “Consumers would tell Powsumer what they want to buy and how much they want to pay. Powsumer would use ‘big data’ — large, complex sets of information that is the project’s secret sauce — to determine the likelihood of a supplier agreeing to that price.”

Powsumers disruptive e-commerce technology will allow communities of individuals to more actively participate and drive down the price in the consumer choices they make. The patent-pending technology includes protection of the “big data” analytics associated with the process of bringing consumers together into purchasing groups (“packs”) through social and web networks as well as procuring suppliers that are willing to fulfill a packs purchasing demands. Each pack will be established by a “pack leader” that defines the product or service the pack wants as well as the lowest price each member of the pack is willing to pay for the product or service. Powsumer connects suppliers with the pack and helps negotiate and close the deal as a volume purchase. Suppliers of products can be anywhere in the world and will drop ship the product directly to individual consumers without Powsumer ever handling the specific product. Big data will allow for robust metrics for both the consumer and the supplier around real time market data, product and pricing trends, and current surplus inventory throughout the U.S. and world.

The $ 100,000 funding goal will be used to pay for further development and launch of the Powsumer.com beta site. The Indiegogo campaign can be found at: http://igg.me/at/powsumer/x/2593754. Supporters of the campaign will receive a range of perks from founder certificates and hoodies to a visit with the Powsumer team, including founder Bernsen.

Founded in 2011, Powsumer is a consumer driven pricing site that is enticing to educated consumers everywhere. Powsumer brings together consumers into purchasing groups (“packs”) with social and web networks who demand the lowest price for things they want. Powsumer provides distributors, retailers, and manufacturers a conduit to sell at profitable margins.







Revolutionary New Crowdsourcing Tech Start up, Tunii.com A Disruptive Idea in Lucrative Markets


Orange County, CA. (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

Though their initial focus has been on the music industry, Tunii plans to expand its patent-pending technology platform to promote a lot more than just music.

It looks like Tunii will soon help level the playing field for small and independent businesses, artists and entrepreneurs to compete with the “Big Guys”. Their promotion platform for music has been turning heads and raising eye brows since the soft launch of their beta site in November of 2012. See http://tunii.com/howto

“What we are building will create a healthy, free market competition that can benefit everyone, including the low budget, no budget and fortune 500 companies”, Says newly appointed CEO and Co-founder of Tunii, Keith Harrison “Tunii is building technology that will provide no upfront cost promotion platforms that let the world decide what products are worthy based on the merit of the product, not the marketing budget behind it”    

Tunii has already generated interest from record labels to help promote chart toping and platinum selling “name artists”. They have received thousands of song submissions from independent recording artists and one of the largest online distributors of independent music is also showing interest.

“The power of the platform is demonstrated by giving artists and fans around the world the ability to make money by simply sharing the music they love.” William Keck, Co-Founder of Tunii adds “We invented a method and technology for crowd sourced promotion that accounts for the full impact of a user’s actions, including secondary results that are not otherwise accounted for in other systems. What that means, Tunii users get paid by telling their friends about a great song or product regardless of who buys it. It’s just that simple.”

Exploring avenues including: song, app, game and book sales, advertising, CD & DVD production services, niche data, merchandise, ticket sales, promotion campaigns, publishing and sync licensing, Tunii’s patent-pending technology innovations are set to be a disruptive force in many lucrative digital product markets and beyond.

Music Licensing Has Become Simpler With Help Of Crowd-sourcing

Music industry is teeming with budding talents who are in dire need of a break to showcase their original creations before public. As they are not among the rising flocks of copy-cats but belong to the rare group of extraordinary talented artists, so their original compositions must be preserved by dint of music licensing. Getting one’s music licensed means that the particular piece of music can not be used without the prior permission of the composers. Now for simplicity, the entire process of licensing music can be divided into three tasks locating the perfect song, entering into the negotiation process for the song and finally deciding the price. Each of these tasks is tough and tedious one. They require the involvement of several persons to accomplish the entire process of licensing. With the extensive use of net, however these not-so-simple tasks have become simpler and quicker to finish. ‘Crowd-sourcing’ has lent music licensing a touch of simplicity.

There is no denying the fact that locating the music licensing for film, television and commercials is not a piece of cakewalk. With several hundreds songs being pumped into the market and uploaded to the web on weekly basis, searching the most suitable song as per as requirement seems to be the next to an impossible task. Filtering through so many collections to find out the best match requires so much time that the music supervisors prefer to work with the music publishers instead of turning to the independent entities for music licensing. Obviously, they have to shell out extra bulk to avoid extensive searching for the perfect match. By approaching the music supervisors, they also have an access to the well-known hit songs of the music world.

Negotiation is an important part of the entire gamut of music licensing. The skill of negotiations also comes into play while fixing the price of a song. This tough task gets tougher while dealing with the renowned publishers and labels. The cost of music licensing springs up as these publishers charge high price to involve all the necessary parties. On the other hand, involving an independent entity directly into the procedure of music licensing will lead to a significant reduction in cost but at the same time several problems will come to the surface too. The major problem is that these independent bodies possess no licensing department. These departments generally let the new musicians know the diverse options of music licensing. These independent personalities can also get into a fit of rage when the fresh talents find it very hard to comprehend various terms of licensing agreement and peck them with several questions.

The main advantage of using the ‘Crowd-sourcing’ method is the composers as well as song writers get to know the music licensing contract and also price in advance. This process is the reverse method of familiar licensing procedure as the music is located after negotiation process is over and price is set. Such process does not require one to search what he or she is looking for as the right music will be sent by the composers from any corner of the globe via net. The option of ‘Crowd-sourcing’ is not the best fitting solution of music licensing for film for the musicians but it is, no doubt, much better solution as compared to the familiar process of licensing music.

Crowdsourcing Data Not Without Major Pitfalls


Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 28, 2012

The popular practice of Crowdsourcing occurs when a company makes an appeal to consumers to add data to their sites. One example of crowdsourcing would be Wikipedia, which relies on contributors to update its files. Another example is a website like Crowdspring, which lets freelance designers submit logo and design ideas for businesses. Pabst Blue Ribbon is dabbling with crowdsourced ownership for anyone who contributes toward the $ 300 Million asking price for the company. While crowdsourcing is a quick and easy way to bring in massive amounts of data or opinions, not everyone is a fan.

Crowd sourcing is not the end-all be-all for companies trying to wrangle huge consumer-based data sets, says Mark Davidson, Director of Data Operations for SaveOnBrew.Com, especially data sets geared towards consumer goods.

Davidson should know. SaveOnBrew collects data from more than 50,000 retailers across the country and uses the data to fuel their beer price-search engine. “As the data set broadens, it becomes less practical to rely on a crowd for accurate, timely data.”

Our original design spec for SaveOnBrew was a combination of data-scraping and crowd-sourcing. We quickly ran into a host of crowd-related problems and came to the realization that, for our needs, crowdsourcing just simply was not the answer.

He shares five potential pitfalls to crowd-sourced data.

1) Damaged Reputation: At SaveOnBrew, were only as good as our data. If it isnt accurate, well lose our core audience. Unfortunately, a crowd can be unpredictable. If our customers lose faith in our data and we become known as being inaccurate, theyll leave and not come back.

2) Unmanageable Labor. By its very nature, the crowd is made up of those most willing to help the project succeed. But at the end of the day, you cant correct, discipline or fire them. They are inherently unmanageable. When youre dealing with a data set of 300,000 records every day, you need to be able to manage the collection of that data. By shifting from a crowd to dedicated data-scrapers, we build in the ability to manage our work force, including the ability to reward and discipline them as employees of the company.

3) Sabotage. If data is your claim-to-fame, then crowd-sourcing gives your competition an in to sabotage that data. We have procedures in place where we audit our data for accuracy. We literally go back and check the data entry work, Davidson explains. Crowd sourcing tends to rely on input directly into a production database, without the necessary checks and balances. We wouldnt want our competition to enter inaccurate beer deals that might alienate our customers and business partners.

4) Rewards That Lose Their Luster. Davidson explains, “Once you start rewarding, you have to be prepared to do it for the long run. If you decide to incentivize the crowd, they will grow to expect it, and may feel resentment when the incentive changes or, in the case of a drawing, they are not the person chosen for the reward. Instead of building loyal followers, you might be building a crowd full of resentful people who eventually just move on.”

5) Difficult to Predict. According to Davidson, it’s difficult to predict participation which leads to difficulty in business planning. “Our operation runs six days per week, and we need to have the deals up early in the day. Our tests showed that, no matter how we incented our crowd, some of them just simply wouldnt participate to the level we needed them to participate. Back when we were a start-up, our crowd size was way too small to support the needs to the business. They simply were not dependable, and that left us scrambling for data.”

But Davidson does see some advantages to the approach. “We actually do plan to come back to crowdsourcing, which we refer to internally as ‘the street team.’ We see that we have an opportunity to build a culture where participation is rewarded with both physical and social rewards. We want to make sure, though, that we build in checks and balances to ensure accurate data delivered in a timely manner.”
