Two platforms, backed by custom services.
Project-based Crowdsourcing for enterprise projects of every kind — from consulting and software builds to R&D innovation and IP discovery. AI Hire for faster, smarter candidate evaluation. Each is a platform paired with hands-on services that tailor the work to your problem — because platform plus services is how we deliver the best value.
Who we serve
Three customer groups across our two platforms — Project-based Crowdsourcing and AI Hire.
Federal agencies & primes
NASA Tournament Lab, NIH, USBR, HHS, and others. Mission-critical research challenges, IP discovery, and AI evaluation delivered as a prime contractor with full compliance and audit trails.
Enterprise R&D & product teams
Airbus, EPRI, NTT Data, Post Holdings, and others. Crowdsourced solutions to hard technical, scientific, and operational problems — with managed delivery and SME-driven evaluation.
Staffing firms & enterprise TA
Staffing agencies and in-house enterprise TA teams using CrowdPlat AI Hire to evaluate candidates faster, submit stronger shortlists, and automate RTR & compliance workflows.
Our story — from one platform to two
Founded in 2013, CrowdPlat began with one platform: an enterprise crowdsourcing engine built to mobilize global expert communities for projects of every kind — from consulting and software builds to R&D innovation and IP discovery. Three U.S. patents and one overseas patent later, that platform — paired with our delivery services — became a trusted partner for federal R&D agencies and for enterprises that need outcomes, not just output.
In recent years we built a second, distinct platform on top of the evaluation rigor we’d developed inside crowdsourcing. CrowdPlat AI Hire brings AI-powered candidate evaluation to staffing firms, recruiters, and enterprise TA teams — turning resume screening, role-specific assessment, and Right-to-Represent compliance into an evaluation layer rather than a manual workflow. It has its own pending patent, its own go-to-market motion, and its own buyer — offered as a SaaS platform and, for teams that need it, custom services that tailor it to their workflow.
Two platforms, not one. They share infrastructure, evaluation discipline, and our solver network. They deliver distinct value, and have distinct roadmaps and pricing — and we’re deliberate about that.
The two platforms, in detail
What each one is, who buys it, and how it’s sold.
Project-based Crowdsourcing
What it is: Prize challenges, R&D innovation, technology landscape analysis, AI evaluation, and IP discovery — delivered as scoped, milestone-driven engagements with a named US-based project manager. Sourced from our global solver network or via pre-formed freelance teams ready to start on day one.
Who buys it: Federal R&D agencies (NASA NTL, NIH, USBR, HHS), state & local government, enterprise R&D and product teams (Airbus, EPRI, NTT Data, Post Holdings).
How it’s sold: Scoped engagement with fixed deliverables and milestones. Two sourcing models: open challenges to a vetted global solver network, or deployment of a pre-formed freelance team. NASA NTL NOIS3 IDIQ prime ($475M ceiling). Backed by 3 U.S. + 1 overseas patents on the platform.
Crowdsourcing page →CrowdPlat AI Hire
What it is: An AI-powered candidate evaluation platform that scores resumes against the role’s actual requirements (not keywords), generates role-specific screening questions, handles Right-to-Represent workflows, and surfaces a ranked shortlist instead of a keyword pile.
Who buys it: Staffing firms, recruiters, and enterprise talent-acquisition teams. 50+ staffing agencies currently posting 100+ jobs on the platform.
How it’s sold: Two ways to engage — the self-serve SaaS platform (free tier, paid by volume), or custom services that embed AI Hire into your ATS (Bullhorn, JobDiva, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday) and build the complex workflow integration B2B and staffing teams need. Texas DIR contract vehicle (estimated $800M value). 1 patent pending on the evaluation engine.
AI Hire page →We didn’t start CrowdPlat to build another consulting bench or another job board. We started it because two kinds of problems rarely get solved by adding more headcount: hard project work (federal R&D, IP discovery, technology landscape studies) and hard hiring decisions (the high-stakes candidate evaluations that staffing firms and enterprise TA teams make every day). Both get solved when the right person is matched to the right work, with the right incentive, and with someone accountable for the outcome.
That belief shows up as two platforms. Project-based Crowdsourcing pairs a hard project with a vetted global expert — or a pre-formed freelance team — and a named US project manager. AI Hire pairs a job with an evaluation engine that scores candidates against the role, not against keywords. Different platforms for different problems — same belief that rigor beats gut feel, and on-demand specialists beat a rented bench.

Our mission
To be the world's most trusted platform for discovering and activating human intelligence — at scale. We help organizations move from hiring committees and consulting engagements toward something faster, broader, and more rigorously evaluated: a global community of experts and the AI infrastructure to deploy them.
Our values
Three principles that shape how we work.
Expertise & ingenuity
We bring deep technical, scientific, and operational expertise to every engagement. Where the path isn't obvious, we design one.
Accountability & discipline
Every engagement has named accountability — primary plus backup — structured cadence, and measurable success criteria. Predictability is a feature, not an accident.
Trust through delivery
We earn renewal contracts and repeat business by delivering, not by promising. Our customers come back because the work works.
Patents & recognition
Independent validation of the platform and the practice.
4 issued patents · Crowdsourcing
Three U.S. patents and one overseas patent covering systems and methods for technology project crowdsourcing — the core platform behind every project-based engagement.
1 pending patent · AI Hire
A pending application describing the AI Hire evaluation engine — how candidates are scored against job-fit scoring criteria and routed through Right-to-Represent workflows.
NASA NTL prime · Crowdsourcing
Prime status on NASA’s NOIS3 IDIQ ($475M ceiling, multi-year), plus prior NOIS2. The federal R&D vehicle behind a decade of crowdsourced delivery for NASA, NIH, USBR, and HHS.
Texas DIR contract · AI Hire
AI Hire deployment under the Texas DIR contract vehicle (estimated $800M value) — 250+ requisitions evaluated, 10,000+ candidates scored, with audit-ready submission workflows automated end-to-end.
What sets each platform apart
The differentiators for each of the two platforms — tagged so it’s clear which platform each row applies to.
How each platform works
Same four-step backbone — defined, sourced, evaluated, delivered — but the work inside each step is platform-specific.
Define
We scope the problem with you: success criteria, constraints, evaluation rubric, and timeline.
Source
We bring the right human intelligence to the problem — from solvers or candidates depending on the platform.
Evaluate
AI-driven scoring against the defined criteria, validated by SMEs — with audit trail attached.
Deliver
Outputs land where they need to land — with the right accountability for each platform.
By the numbers
Numbers from each platform, side by side.
