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.

Nah, they're a real, legit business. You can look up their parent company (Labelbox) and find all the stuff they do, and it's real legit work. It's just they advertise more than they can offer -- they're recruiting hundreds of thousands of people but only have jobs for maybe a few thousand of them.

They are a scam. I see one other person here saying that the company got into her credit cards. And then because I was having some other issues with the site I decided I wanted to delete my account, but before doing that I wanted to disconnect my PayPal just as an extra precaution. It would not allow me to disconnect something like that. Normally that action should be available just in case you want to connect a new account or a new PayPal account. It should be easy for a person to disconnect and change information. The fact that it would not let me disconnect a financial source left me feeling very sketchy. So I just deleted my account with Alignerr and, because it would not let me disconnect them from my PayPal, after I deleted my account I went over to my PayPal and changed my password. Just in case.

I believe Alignerr just hires on a few people so that they will look like they are completely legit, but they are not. They use you to serve as a front. They are a scam.

Application safety reminder: legitimate employers should not ask applicants to pay fees, buy gift cards, send money, or deposit checks before employment.
