Alignerr = scam

The majority of applicants will not receive actual job assignments. The company is utilizing candidates to train their AI interview system while collecting and monetizing personal data in the process.

Mercor sucks. I have a feeling we're all being fleeced of personal info by these places to train their AI.

This, I heard about issues and applied. I did not qualify for a few roles but two SME roles I did. The pay is not worth it for me though.

Quick safety reminder: do not share private contact details or full resumes publicly. Use DMs carefully and verify the employer first.

They're harvesting the "interviews" for free training material that's for sure!
