The Butler Hill Group has an immediate need for data annotators to review and evaluate internet search results based on specific search terms and provide either a favorable or unfavorable rating depending on the relevance of the result to the search term. The evaluation work is done according to specific guidelines using an automated tool.

Candidates must be native English speakers, living in the United States. Ideal candidates possess a strong familiarity with a wide variety of online news sources and are avid Internet enthusiasts. This is a free-lance, contracted position requiring that annotators work from a home office on a personal computer (high-speed DSL or cable and a recent version of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office proficiency are required).

Annotators will work 4 hours per day, Monday-Friday. This is an on-going project requiring a continuing commitment to part-time work (20 hours per week) that is expected to extend to approximately the middle of 2010.
