Vetting

Five gates, then a probation on real work

Tier 1 is automated and never sold. Tier 2 is checked by people and is what clients hire. Tier 3 is earned on the job.

  1. Sign-up screen

    Residency self-certification, IP check, device and phone check.

  2. Native-language test

    Written in the language, timed, with register and dialect items and paste detection.

  3. Skill test

    Annotation, RLHF ranking or a domain quiz, scored automatically.

    Tier 1 · never sold
  4. ID check and proctored retest

    Document and liveness check, then a recorded retest on new items.

    Checked by a person
  5. Recorded work sample

    A 20-minute task with camera and screen recorded, then a 2-minute spoken explanation in the language, scored by a native reviewer.

    Checked by a person Tier 2 · ready to hire

Probation: the first 10 billed hours on every new project are double-reviewed.

Tier 3: 200+ billed managed hours with a QA score of 92% or more.

What you see

The evidence stays on the profile

A named person checks identity, residency, language and skill. Each check keeps its provider, date and result, and every status change is logged.

Reviewers are native speakers paid per review. Until a language has three Tier 3 workers, contracted native linguists review the work samples on the same scorecard.

Quality

One score, one set of consequences

QA score is a worker’s gold-set accuracy over the last 30 days on managed projects. Gold items are mixed into every queue.

TriggerWhat happens
Gold accuracy under 85% on 2 working days in a row Paused, paid recalibration, then back in the queue
QA score still under 85% two weeks after recalibration Down one tier and off the project
Fraud confirmed by a person reviewing the flag Removed and added to the shared ban list
QA score of 92% or more and 200+ billed managed hours Tier 3: eligible for lead and QA roles

Fraud controls

  • Proctored retest on new items, with webcam and screen recorded
  • A recorded work sample with a spoken explanation
  • Device fingerprinting and duplicate-document detection
  • Gold items in every queue, every day
  • A shared ban list, only after a person reviews the flag

Fairness

  • One retake per test, after 30 days
  • Appeals within 14 days go to a different reviewer
  • Recordings are deleted 90 days after the decision unless held for a fraud case or appeal

Pilot

Start with a paid two-week pilot

10 vetted workers in your tool, ready within 10 business days (5 for Russian). If a managed team’s weekly gold-set agreement falls below 90%, the hours below it aren’t billed.
