Leapforce provides managed information evaluation services. Leapforce's clients rely upon the company to provide comprehensive program management and human based evaluations related to search engine testing, information retrieval and other areas of machine learning. Leapforce was incorporated in 2008 and was founded by a group of veteran search engine evaluators and engineers in Pleasanton, California. In 2017 language and search data service provider Appen acquired US-based competitor Leapforce for $105.3 million, in a move that made the ASX-listed company the leading global provider in its field.
