How a pod ramps

From policy scope to first reviewed queue in 7–14 days

The same 5-step operator flow that backs /employers/how-it-works, scoped for Trust & Safety work. The fifth step tracks precision, recall, queue SLA, and time-to-resolution against your policy doc.

  1. 1Step

    Scope the policy and queue

    Buyer shares the Trust & Safety policy doc, queue volume, target precision / recall, queue SLA, and language coverage. Zipang's account manager drafts a rubric and a paid trial scored against the buyer's actual policy.

  2. 2Step

    Run the 5-gate funnel

    Candidates pass CV review, English proficiency, role-specific moderation simulation, structured video interview, and a paid trial scored against the buyer's precision / recall targets.

  3. 3Step

    Approve the shortlist

    Redacted profiles unlock in the client portal. Names stay hidden until the buyer approves and the candidate consents.

  4. 4Step

    Contract and onboard

    PT Lima Cakar Bumi issues the PKWT/PKWTT contract, registers BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan, and sets up the moderation platform access.

  5. 5Step

    Run production with KPI tracking

    Precision, recall, queue SLA, and time-to-resolution are tracked weekly against the rubric. The 30/90-day replacement guarantee covers fit and non-performance.

Content moderation FAQ

Hiring a content moderation pod through Zipang

What kinds of content does Zipang's moderation pod review?

User-generated text, image, and video on social platforms, marketplaces, dating apps, livestream platforms, and creator-economy products. Categories: spam, harassment, hate speech, sexual content (with policy-bound escalation), violence, self-harm signals, scams, IP / counterfeits, age-gating, livestream chat moderation, and policy-compliance for creator monetization programs. The same 5-gate funnel backs every category; the rubric is yours.

How is precision, recall, and queue SLA tracked?

Zipang's KPI dashboard scores precision (false-positive rate on the buyer's golden set), recall (false-negative rate on the same set), queue SLA (median time to first action and median time to resolution), and reviewer-fatigue signals on a weekly cadence. The dashboard is shared with the buyer's Trust & Safety lead; escalations are handled at the 5-gate funnel's Step 5 by the dedicated Zipang supervisor.

How quickly can a pod start reviewing?

Most roles go from signed SOW to first reviewed queue in 7–14 days. The driver is the paid trial at the 5th gate of Zipang's screening funnel — you see precision / recall numbers on your own queue before committing to a full ramp. Larger teams (50+ seats) typically ramp in 3–6 weeks with phased onboarding.

What does the buyer pay?

All-in USD 700–1,500 per moderator per month. The 2026 Jakarta UMP floor (IDR 5,729,876, ~$342) plus 10.2% BPJS Ketenagakerjaan lands the all-in labor cost at ~$400/month; the role band is the buyer's invoice on top. PPh 21, THR, severance, and year-end filings are bundled. No separate statutory add-ons. Tight-SLA programs (95%+ precision) carry a +10% tier premium.

Does Zipang sign the contract as the employer?

Yes. PT Lima Cakar Bumi is the legal employer of record — every Zipang hire is on its payroll. The same entity handles PPh 21, BPJS Kesehatan, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (JHT 2% + JP 1% + JKK 0.24–1.74% + JKM 0.3% = 10.2% all-in), THR, severance under UU 13/2003, and year-end SPT filing. For high-risk content categories, Zipang provides additional wellness support (counseling, rotation cadence) bundled into the supervisor role.

Has Zipang run moderation for global platforms before?

Yes — the same 5-gate funnel and PT Lima Cakar Bumi entity back named-client work with ByteDance/TikTok (TikTok Shop affiliate education — 4,000+ KOLs trained, 240 in ongoing gig programs as TikTok Seller Partners), Kuaishou (translation and dubbing for 1,200+ drama titles per month in Indonesia), and PUBG Mobile / Tencent Games (300 KOL participants, 120M TikTok views in the first 10-day campaign). The moderation program runs against the buyer's policy doc, not a generic category list.

What is the 30/90-day replacement guarantee?

A 30-day replacement guarantee covers fit and skill issues — if a moderator is not the right match in the first month, Zipang replaces them at no cost. A 90-day replacement guarantee covers non-performance — if precision, recall, or queue SLA KPIs are not met through the first quarter, Zipang replaces them too.
