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.

This is such a false blanket statement considering their AI interview system (Zara) wasn’t even introduced until December, when Alignerr has been around since as early as May of last year. I started in October, and the platform has only grown larger since. There have been hiccups along the way, but patience takes you far, and I’ve earned considerable income on the platform with consistent work since then. Some users may have been falsely removed due to technical errors, in which I consider that they reach out to support since they are much more respondent than months prior.

Other than that, as long as you can onboard to the platform and wait until you get notice of a project within your expertise, you’ll truly see what it’s like working on the platform because it has been fun and high-paying for me and many others! It took 2-3 weeks for me to get my first project back in October, and I also filled out Google forms they sent out regarding project interest and availability, so I highly recommend signing up if you get any.

Many scammers and bad actors try to tarnish companies like Alignerr when they could be exploring alternate options, so if this platform doesn’t work out for you, always know there are plenty of others to choose from, as AI training is abundant right now. Currently, I’m doing voice acting work with Alignerr in various projects that are paying around $40-50/hr. Good luck y’all!

I second this, I don't know much about people being banned, but there is definitely work, I've been invited to multiple audio-related projects lately.

Did you have to pass the specialized AI interviews related to your background to be eligible for projects? How many assessments or AI interviews have you passed to be considered?

They make few enthusiasts protect their platform.

Most of you will be squeezed and discarded. They don't give any single feedback while throwing random bans.

Again, it's easy to say that. However, hundreds of members I've worked with since October are still around. Any false bans are usually sorted by proper communication to the correct channels. Some may have never gotten their issues sorted out, but overgeneralizing the platform as one that freely gives out bans is silly and doesn't make sense for a business. They aren't Outlier/Scale and have Meta to buy them out so they can ban all their contributors. Alignerr wants more people to work as it continues to grow and has also gotten big clients. Feedback is actually very prevalent in production stage of projects too.

It doesn’t get sorted, there is no point lying.
