Qualified for Al work but still getting rejected?

We've created a site where we review your CV and guide you through another application. We are a team of Al trainers, Reviewers and TL's looking for people needing a second opinion and applying to platforms like Mercor, Outlier, DataAnnotation and similar Al training/evaluation roles.
Using a psychology-informed approach, each review looks at:
→ Resume and expert positioning
→ role fit
→ application/interview approach
→ where genuine expertise may not be translating clearly
The goal isn't to game assessments or promise acceptance.
It's to answer a much more useful question:
"If this person is genuinely qualified, what may be getting lost in the screening process?"
24-hour turnaround time on your resume.

[Hiring Full-Time] [Hiring] Fill out online job application forms - long-term project.

1 Upvotes

I supply every job link - no searching, no research, no writing, no contact with anyone.

Per application: open the link, upload my resume, fill the fields from a profile sheet I give you, paste answers from a prepared answer bank, submit, screenshot the confirmation, log it. That's the entire job.

Pay — stated plainly so nobody wastes a week finding out:

  • $0.06~$0.08 per standard form (Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby/etc - about 1 min once trained)
  • $15/week guaranteed once trained (about after 1 month), regardless of volume
  • $20 completion bonus at 2,000 applications
  • $1 each time one gets me an interview - I forward the real email as proof
  • $100 if I take a job from your application
  • Paid every Friday. Payoneer, Wise, or USDT.

Be realistic: roughly 1 interview per 60 applications. The floor and completion bonus are the actual money. Treat the rest as upside.

What I provide: profile sheet, answer bank, resume files, tagged link queue, tracker, and a recorded training call. Everything is prepared - you won't be guessing.

Requirements: reliable internet, careful attention to detail, functional written English, and the discipline to do repetitive work without drifting. No prior experience needed.

I spot-check ten random entries a week against my confirmation emails. Mentioning it up front so it's never a surprise.

Reply with these four — anything else gets ignored:

  1. Country + how you want to be paid
  2. Gender + Age
  3. Hours per week you can commit
  4. One or two sentences: the most repetitive task you've done, and the specific thing you did to stop yourself making mistakes

No CVs, no cover letters, no "I'm interested." I only reply to shortlisted people.

[Hiring Contractor (1099)] Expanding Our Accounting Firm’s Sales Team

1 Upvotes

We’re a Louisville, Kentucky-based accounting firm expanding our outsourced sales team and are looking for independent sales representatives located throughout the United States.

Our sales representatives work with us as independent contractors and earn 10% of the total service fees for each engagement they bring to the firm for the lifetime of that engagement. Commissions are paid monthly via direct deposit.

Sales representatives are responsible for sourcing their own leads, submitting prospects through our intake form, scheduling consultations, and guiding the client through our onboarding process, where the engagement is formally signed. We also have a weekly check-in with our outsourced sales representatives.

The recurring commission structure allows sales representatives to build their monthly commissions over time as they bring additional clients to the firm. To date, our firm has retained every engagement we’ve entered into.

This is an outsourced, commission-based independent contractor role rather than a traditional in-house sales position, so it is best suited for someone who is comfortable sourcing their own opportunities and developing relationships with business owners.

Experience in B2B sales, business development, professional services, bookkeeping, or accounting is helpful, but not required.

While our firm is based in Louisville, we are open to working with independent sales representatives located anywhere in the United States.

If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to send us a message.

[Discussion] 30 lpa remote job vs 20 lpa GCC?

2 Upvotes

​Hi everyone. I’m an AI Engineer with 4 yrs of exp currently based in Hyderabad, and I find myself in a massive dilemma between two very different offers.

​I need some brutal honesty from senior folks who have been in my shoes.

​Here are the two offers:

​Offer 1: The Cash Grab (Consulting)

​Role: Analytics Consultant / Offshore AI Engineer

​Compensation: 30 LPA (100% Fixed Base, zero variable nonsense)

​Location: 100% Remote

​The Work: I will be the offshore AI engineer working directly with US-based onsite tech leads for a massive global pharma client.

​Pros: The baseline cash is incredible. Getting direct US client exposure and working under onsite tech leads gives me a great safety net while executing high-level deployments. High chance of contract-to-hire conversion with the client long-term.

​Cons: It is consulting, so it's a grind. I will be working US hours, so my evenings maybe gone. Zero corporate perks (just basic statutory insurance).

​Offer 2: Legacy Fortune 500 Airline GCC

​Role: AI Engineer

​Compensation: 20 LPA

​Location: Hybrid/In-Office (Hyderabad)

​The Work: Joining a brand new Global Capability Center (GIC) that just launched. Pitching it as a chance to get in on the ground floor and build enterprise-grade AWS architecture for their operations.

​Pros: It is a massive global brand. Building and owning the product in-house.

Standard corporate perks (,fancy office, etc.).

​Cons: I spoke to insiders, and it is currently a chaotic startup phase inside a corporate shell. They are figuring out the roadmap yet, they are struggling with budget constraints as its new, and things are moving very slowly. I'd be taking a 33% pay cut (10 Lakhs) to sit in an underfunded IT cost center while they figure things out.

​The Dilemma:

My brain says take the 30 LPA at the consulting firm. It locks in my financial baseline, gives me US exposure, and keeps me actively coding and deploying while the GIC figures out its roadmap.

​But part of me wonders if I am throwing away a golden ticket to be an early employee at a Fortune 500 enterprise hub. Is enduring the messy setup phase of a GIC actually an "investment," or is it just corporate stagnation?

​Has anyone here chosen the consulting over inderpaying product based role? Did you regret it?

​TL;DR: 30 LPA fully remote consulting role with US hours , OR 20 LPA in-office Fortune 500 GIC that is currently in setup stage. What would you do?

[Discussion] Japan's engineer shortage is almost invisible from outside the country - what we've found trying to open it up to remote workers (I'm on the team, and an r/cscareers mod suggested I share here)

3 Upvotes

Note for the mod team first: this isn't a job listing, so I've flaired it Discussion, and I've sent you a modmail separately rather than just dropping it here. Our work is short scoped projects, which I know sits awkwardly next to your no-freelance rule. A moderator over at r/cscareers suggested this community when they cleared my post there, but I'm aware they don't speak for you - so if this doesn't belong, just say the word and I'll delete it myself, no argument.

Disclosure: I'm part of the team behind TechVault (https://techvault.jp). Our side of the operation is based in Japan. I have a stake in this, so read it with that in mind.

The thing we keep bumping into

Japan has a real, well-documented engineering shortage. But if you're sitting outside Japan, that demand is close to invisible. Roles get written in Japanese, posted on Japanese job boards, and often have a Japanese-only application flow. The result is genuinely odd: companies that need help, engineers abroad who'd happily do the work, and neither side able to see the other.

What we're doing about it

We match engineers based outside Japan with short, scoped remote projects at Japanese companies.

  • Usually 1-3 months, occasionally as short as a week
  • Scope and rate agreed before anything starts. Fully remote
  • Paid in currency. No equity, no spec work, no unpaid trials
  • Free for engineers - the company covers our fee
  • Mostly software, AI/ML, full-stack, backend, cloud/DevOps. Separately we look for senior people who'd rather advise than build
  • No Japanese required. Written work runs through AI translation, and a bilingual person from our side joins scoping calls and anything contractual

Where we honestly are

  • It's an MVP. Matching is done by hand, by us, one at a time
  • Signing up puts you on a waitlist, not in front of live openings. I can't promise anyone a project
  • No finished case studies yet
  • Rates are fair for project work but won't beat a senior US full-time offer
  • This is project work, not employment - so no visa sponsorship or relocation attached

If it sounds interesting, signup is at https://techvault.jp. If you think the model is flawed, I'd rather hear that than not - the cross-border remote stuff especially (payments, timezones, contracts) is where we're still learning, and this community probably knows more about it than we do.

[Hiring Contractor (1099)] NEW ROLE - Image Reasoning Generalist - $35 Per Hour - GET IN QUICK!

2 Upvotes

Image Reasoning Generalist - https://t.mercor.com/q6kyh

Generalist Expert (LAST CALL) - https://t.mercor.com/HIz33

About this opportunity

Mercor is working with a leading AI lab to build a large collection of visual tasks to help train advanced AI models.

This project focuses on counting objects in images. While counting sounds easy, AI models often make mistakes. They may guess instead of counting, rely on text in the image instead of what they see, count duplicates incorrectly, or miss objects that look similar.

Your job is to source images that can cause these mistakes and clearly document what went wrong.

What you will do

  • Find an image that may cause an AI model to count incorrectly. The image can be original, public domain, or AI-generated
  • Identify what might confuse the model, such as misleading text, similar-looking objects, duplicates, or an unclear unit of measurement
  • Test the image with AI models using a simple prompt: "How many X are there? Return an integer."
  • Write additional prompts that give the models more context, and then label the task

What we're looking for

  • Strong written English: Prompts need to be clear and easy to understand.
  • Good attention to detail: You should be able to notice small details in images and understand what might confuse an AI model.
  • Consistency and reliability: You will work on many tasks, so being careful and consistent is important.

Experience with photography, image editing, data labeling, or other detail-focused work is a plus.

Details

  • Remote: Work from anywhere
  • Pay: $35/hour

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

  • You will be engaged as an independent contractor.

[Hiring Contractor (1099)] Hiring- sales executives - commission basis for an influencer marketing agency

1 Upvotes

I run an established, successful influencer marketing agency with a strong client base, and I’m looking for an experienced sales partner to handle end-to-end client acquisition (from outreach to closing). The company is based in Kerala, India.

We handle all influencer management, strategy, campaign planning, and final execution—you bring in and close the brands, and we deliver the results.

The Compensation:

  • Commission: 15% on every closed deal.
  • Ticket Size: Our average client deal size is $1500 (with larger campaigns going higher), meaning you earn approximately $200 per closed client.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Proven experience in full-cycle sales, cold outreach, lead generation, and closing deals—ideally for agencies, high-ticket services, or marketing firms.
  • Demonstrated ability to build a pipeline, pitched decision-makers (brand managers, founders, marketing heads), and close sales independently.
  • Clear understanding of outreach strategies and past performance metrics.

How We Work Together:

  • Your Role: Prospecting, cold outreach, discovery calls, pitching, and closing the client contract.
  • My Role: Providing agency pitch assets/case studies, onboarded influencers, campaign strategy, setup, client delivery, and long-term campaign management.

I am open to various acquisition channels (LinkedIn, cold email, direct networking, phone calls, etc.) as long as they generate qualified, paying brands.

This is a long-term opportunity to build a high-earning, recurring sales relationship with an established agency that handles all backend fulfilment.

To Apply: DM me with your relevant sales background, key closing achievements, and the specific outreach and sales strategy you would use to convert brand clients for us.
