It’s a term for when you outsource a task, project or problem, but instead of taking it to a specialised contractor, you put it out to the general crowd. Members of the public from a vast range of backgrounds solve your problem for you, for the rewards of money, prizes or sometimes just goodwill, credit or ego.

There’s still no a ‘one size fits all’ use, but with the expertise of the world at every recruiter’s fingertips, crowdsourcing is a tool that’s increasing in value.
