Algorithms for Hiring and Outsourcing in the Online Labor Market

Abstract: Although freelancing work has grown substantially in recent years, in part facilitated by a number of online labor marketplaces, traditional forms of "in-sourcing" work continue being the dominant form of employment. This means that, at least for the time being, freelancing and salaried employment will continue to co-exist. In this paper, we provide algorithms for outsourcing and hiring workers in a general setting, where workers form a team and contribute different skills to perform a task. We call this model… Show more

“…Our work generalizes all these works as we want to maximize the expected spread minus the cost for convincing these nodes to adopt the particular item. Team formation: The classic team-formation problem [1,2,6,18,23,35] assumes that there is a pool of experts and a subset of them is selected to cover the requirements of a task, while some criteria related to the team functionality (e.g., communication cost as captured in their collaboration network) are optimized. At the heart of all team-formation problems defined today is a set cover problem where the goal is to cover the skills of the input task.…”
