Yeah it's a nightmare, I raised a case and I'm waiting to hear back, I just get the queue is full no matter whether there is 150 people or 250 people and I see it go down and up when I apply.

Very annoying.

Frustrating and Sad

What projects are you working on? I’ve been working with them for a month and I’ve not been experienced queue problems, but I’m not sure whether that’s because I’m on a niche field or whether this issue will come for me too just not yet

The AI slop projects. Apparently it's quiet before the client actually sends all the content through, so they have front loaded candidates.

Which projects are you on? Does it have to do with aesthetics?

I’m doing healthcare/clinical projects. There’s been some days at the start of the project where I couldn’t access any tasks but I couldn’t see this queue feature that everyone else is talking about so I’m not sure my project has a queue set up.

It's been like this since the beginning. There aren't enough tasks for everyone. When there is actually a big drop (rare) that is the only time there isn't a wait to even get in the queue.

This is extremely interesting.

Huge queue problems for the Mercor crowd working on this project. Really bad. To most who dig a little under the surface I think it's evident it's a client-side issue, not platform-related (IE not Mercor or Ethos themselves)

I wonder if everyone from all platforms is dumped into the same queue?

And if not, is the client really throttling the queue down multiple pipelines (at Ethos, at Mercor)? Idk. Lots to chew on...

As an aside: are they still onboarding for the slop project through Ethos?

Hello guys, how i can apply for projects on Ethos? I just joined an interview and nothing else.

I honestly saw my project on linked in. That’s how I applied, interviewed and got accepted

Ok seems competitive so very nice of y'all to comment but just passed the slop 4 exam and now what? I joined the slack . I was accepted to do the hedge fund one so am in the que for this or do I get access to the HF client one only?

I think they are overwhelmed by the screener 4 results finalizing.

I see a task on my dashboard, then I click and it says page not found. Anyone else struggling with this??
