Butler Hill Group - Web Search Evaluators

Butler Hill Group is currently hiring Australians to perform web search evaluations! Work online. Position is part-time.

Consulting Information

One of the firm’s greatest resources is the knowledge base contained in its network of consultants, built over the past 15 years. Butler Hill creates virtual teams of professional consultants drawn from this global network based on the scope and requirement of each project. Some projects require a great deal of collaboration while others depend upon the professionalism of a single individual.

As a virtual company we don’t dictate where or how you work as long as you know what needs doing and get it done. Consultants can work from any location they choose on short- or long-term projects, typically at hours and days of their choosing. The only thing we insist on is quality work.

Our goal is find the right people in the 40 countries where we do business, who are not only capable but share our enthusiasm and love of language. Feel free to contact us even if you don’t see a specific job posting in the list; we are always interested in adding to our existing network of professional consultants

Search result evaluation / Data annotation

Web search evaluators provide feedback to search engine development teams to ensure that internet search results are accurate, timely, comprehensive, free of spam, and relevant to the search query’s intent. The evaluators, also called data annotators, perform services on a part-time basis (4 hours every weekday) for two months or more from their home office, rating pairs of search queries and search results. They are native speakers of the respective target language, internet-savvy, familiar with a wide variety of online news sources, and they have a passion for researching information. We have worked with over 800 such consultants in 20 markets; while most of the work is performed individually, regular virtual meetings keep everyone in synch.
