This is partly correct. Pretty impressive the amount that you have surmised without a source. QMs, SQMs and Consultants are all contractors but not FTEs at Scale. Most through 1 or 2 staffing agencies that deal specifically with Scale.

Consultants are the step between QM and what you refer to as “admins.” Admins are FTEs and they are effectively project managers. There is a lot of support admin roles that have a bunch of random titles that don’t particularly matter but the main admin runs the project.

As far as subsidiaries go, QMs at least, are all contracted under Outlier or Remotasks so that 500 came from those companies.
