OUR APPROACH

Not a marketplace. A managed operation.

Most data vendors run marketplaces: anonymous workers, rush-bidding, race-to-the-bottom pricing. We don't. Every Deaimer contributor is vetted, trained, and managed by a regional lead who knows them by name.

That shows up in your data quality. It also shows up in worker welfare. Our 12-month retention rate is 84% — more than double the industry average — because we treat our workforce as colleagues, not commodities.

CAPABILITIES

What we provide.

01 / SOURCING

Expert sourcing & vetting

Domain-tested, language-screened, background-checked contributors — never gig-marketplace drop-ins.

Our regional recruiting teams maintain proprietary panels across every major language market. When you need 200 specialist radiologists or 50 Pashto speakers with coding experience, we have the pipeline.

Credential verification

Medical licenses, legal bars, academic credentials, and professional certifications verified at source.

Language proficiency testing

Native-speaker assessment with written and spoken evaluation, not self-reported CEFR levels.

Background checks

Compliance-grade identity verification, work authorization, and criminal history where applicable.

Domain tests

Project-specific skill tests calibrated against gold standards before live work assignment.

02 / MANAGEMENT

Managed operational teams

Project leads, QA specialists, delivery managers — your team isn't just labelers, it's a full operation.

Every engagement ships with a full operational hierarchy: project lead as your single point of contact, QA specialists running quality gates, team leads managing annotator performance, and regional coordinators handling logistics.

Dedicated project leads

Your single POC for scope, quality, timeline, and escalation. Responsive within hours.

QA team on every project

Ratio of 1 QA to 10–15 annotators running samples, gold sets, and audits.

Team leads

Daily standups, annotator coaching, and on-the-ground problem resolution.

Delivery ops

Schedule, throughput, SLA management, and cross-project resource balancing.

03 / PLACEMENT

Role-based placement

Match contributors by skill level, language, and domain — not just headcount.

Our internal skill-graph catalogs every contributor's history, languages, domain experience, tooling fluency, and quality profile. Matching is precise — not "here's 50 annotators, good luck."

Skill-based routing

Algorithmic match by task type, complexity, and language to optimize quality.

Specialist on-call

Rare skills (rare languages, legal, clinical) pulled from reserve panels on demand.

Career progression

Annotators graduate to QA, team leads, and project management roles.

Performance-based tiers

Top contributors get priority on highest-value work, reinforcing quality.

04 / COMPLIANCE

Compliance & ethics

Fair-pay, worker welfare, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA — treated as engineering disciplines, not checkboxes.

Fair pay floors, transparent rate cards, independent labor audits, mental-health protections on high-volume exposure content, and full audit trails. Your legal team will thank you.

Fair-pay commitments

Regional living-wage floors, transparent rate cards, no commission markups on pay.

Welfare-first scheduling

No all-night rush jobs. Volume planned weeks in advance. Trauma-informed protocols.

Independent audits

Annual third-party labor audits with published summaries for every region.

SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA

Compliant data handling, role-based access, audit logs retained seven years.

ETHICS PLEDGE

Workers we stand behind.

We publish these commitments because we believe the AI industry's data practices need raising — not hiding.

  • No rush laborProjects planned weeks in advance. No all-night surge shifts to meet last-minute client deadlines.
  • Trauma-informed protocolsFor graphic content work: mandatory breaks, mental-health access, voluntary opt-out without penalty.
  • Public annual auditsThird-party labor audits published each year — including when we fall short.
  • Career pathwaysEvery contributor has a named progression plan. 18% of our full-time staff started as annotators.

FAQ

Common questions.

How fast can you scale a team up?

72 hours to stand up a new team of 20–50 contributors for a standard project. Ramp to 200+ typically takes 2 weeks. Specialist roles (medical, legal) take longer — we'll give you a firm timeline on the first call.

Can contributors work in our own tooling?

Yes. We work in Labelbox, Scale Rapid, Label Studio, CVAT, or your custom platforms. We also provide our own portals if you'd prefer.

What's your pay structure?

Time-based and piece-rate both supported. Rates are transparent and benchmarked against regional living wage. No commission markups on contributor pay — our margin is in the platform and management fees.

How do you handle confidential data?

Dedicated clean-room teams work in air-gapped environments. Role-based access control, full audit logs, and region-locked data storage for GDPR and data residency compliance.

Can we meet the team?

Yes, and we encourage it. Clients visit our Faisalabad, Nairobi, and São Paulo offices regularly. Video-only meetings also available.

What about specialty languages?

We have active contributor panels in 90+ languages, including low-resource languages like Pashto, Amharic, Yoruba, Tagalog, Quechua. Ask — chances are we can cover it.
