Questions
What experts ask before joining
How much will I get paid?
Each role shows its top rate, from up to $40 an hour for generalist review to up to $300 an hour for the most specialised markets work. Your starting rate depends on the credentials you bring; sustained quality moves you towards the top rate.
Do I need a specific credential?
It depends on the tier. Licensed professions and advanced STEM roles require the credential named in the listing. Operations and generalist roles weigh demonstrated experience as heavily as formal qualification.
How flexible is the work?
Fully. No minimum hours, no fixed schedule, no standups. You choose which tasks to take. Everything is remote and contract.
What does the work actually involve?
Defining what correct means in your field, reviewing agent runs against that definition, and designing cases where the obvious answer is wrong. You are writing the rules a model gets graded against — not labelling data.
How long does the application take?
Signing in takes a minute. Then you agree to how we handle your data, connect a profile, and join the waitlist, where you can add your work experience, education and a CV. You do this once; after that, adding another role takes seconds.
When will I hear back?
We work down the list by field. Tiers with the smallest pools move first. If your background matches an active project, you will hear from us directly.
Do I need a Google or GitHub account?
No. You can sign in with a 6-digit code sent to any email address. Google and GitHub sign-in are offered as well where they are available. Use the same email address each time: a different one starts a separate account.
Who is the work for?
Frontier AI labs and vertical AI companies building agents for work where being approximately right is the same as being wrong. We have no model-company shareholders.
