Abstract
Personnel evaluation based on crowdsourcing concepts. An approach to personnel evaluation is described that uses crowd-sourced data and an iterative approach. Individual personnel evaluators are themselves evaluated and assigned weighting factors based on their acumen and accuracy with regard to personnel evaluation. Personnel evaluations are provided by each personnel evaluator, who collectively form a crowdsourcing crowd, and weighted according to each evaluator's assigned weighting factor. The crowd-sourced weighted-averages from all evaluators are combined and used periodically and iteratively to evaluate the individual crowdsourcing participants and to re-calculate their individual weighting factors. The approach provides more accurate and more directed personnel evaluations as compared to simple arithmetic averaging of crowd-sourced data, and is improved with each iteration over time.
