Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your situation, since running global moderation workflows, managing one regional market and setting moderation procedures are different jobs. Also consider whether you need someone who managed in-house moderators or outsourced vendor sites, because staffing, quality control and cost tradeoffs differ.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you decide which content went to automated detection and which went to human moderators?
- 02How did you measure moderation quality and accuracy, and what did you do when a team or vendor fell short?
- 03How did you plan moderation staffing and coverage when content volumes suddenly spiked?
