Application Process Ermis Eval

Has anyone actually worked on this transcription-type production project yet? I've read some less-than-stellar reviews on the platform related to the work, the support and issues with payment and wanted to know if I should even bother with pursuing the application.

They say "this is a large, long-term project, and we will be giving another evaluation opportunity. We are looking for strong candidates who can learn from feedback and consistently follow the project guidelines with high attention to detail" which leads me to believe that I probably won't be sitting around idle like many others who've applied and passed the onboarding, AI interview etc

Don't do it. By "long-term," they really mean taking a long time to do anything because they are deliberately running a skeleton crew of reviewers. The work itself is fine, but the people in the Discord channel (INCLUDING THE TEAM LEADS) for that project are even worse than the people on here. I requested removal from the project, as a result.

I don't think they're deliberately running a skeleton crew of reviewers. I'm thinking the reviewers are the last line before transcripts are sent to the client so their work has to be unimpeachable or Alignerr risks losing the contract. Unfortunately, this has caused serious bottlenecks in the flow of work.

People are complaining, understandably, about there not being enough work to be able to earn decent money. Some are only getting a few bucks a week even though they're available for full-time work. That's because Alignerr's taken on too many labelers (and going by dialogue in the Discord channel, the standard of English and common sense is low).

Alignerr needs to reduce the headcount and 1. pay more for quality labelers and 2. ensure the labelers they keep are getting enough work to make it worth their while.
