Do you speak your languages
and would you like to earn some extra money from the comfort
of your own home? Does an active role in analysing market
research data appeal to you? Then maybe you should apply
as a coder for SmartCoding
If you have excellent knowledge of English and another
language (other than Dutch, which we have amply covered)
and you are interested in working for us occasionally
as a coder of responses to market research surveys, please
fill out the form below. If your details look promising,
we will contact you. But before you send us your application,
please first read below what we expect from our coders.
What does the work involve?
In market research, people are usually asked to choose
their response from a list of options (such as a, b,
or c or a number from 1 to 7), but sometimes there are
open questions as well. For analytical purposes, the
responses to these - 'verbatims' - have to be coded.
As a coder, your job is to map each response to one
or more codes. Most of these codes, and their meanings,
will be provided in a so-called code frame, but sometimes
you will also have to introduce additional codes. This
requires careful communication, as other coders will
usually be working on the same market research project
in other languages and the client expects consistent
coding across all languages.
The code frame is in English, while the verbatims are
in your specialist language.
If you live nearby we may ask you to come to our offices
for your first assignment, but after that you will be
able to do the work from home. You will need a PC with
internet access and a working knowledge of MS Word and
MS Excel. You need to be able to work accurately and
consistently within agreed deadlines. You need to be
able to work independently according to the instructions,
while having a good sense of when to discuss matters
with your SmartCoding
project manager. You need to be able to respond constructively
to feedback (suggestions, criticism, queries, etc.).
And, of course, you need to be available at irregular
times for jobs that may take anything from 1 to 25 hours.
Payment will be based on the amount of verbatims processed.
