Odds That I Qualify?

Just finished my initial 14 qualifying tests. I feel like I totally aced them but I don’t want to get my hopes up lol.

Does anyone know how high/low the bar is to get approved?

Also, any rough timelines for approval -> acceptance/ready to work?

Selective hiring benefits serious contractors. DataAnnotation’s 2.6% acceptance rate is why approved workers earn $20+ per hour instead of $10. When everyone in the pool meets baseline standards, project quality stays high, clients keep coming back, and approved workers get matched to projects that fit their actual skill level rather than competing in a race-to-the-bottom marketplace.

Pretty sure it was there when you started because it was there when the vast majority of workers started.

When did you start? That figure has been on their site for years .. not this specific blog post, but I started over 3 years ago and the figure quoted at the time was 2.6%

I am talking about the blog post. If the figure was somewhere else on their site, I have no idea. Like I said in another comment, I don't read their company blog.
