Application and selection process
The application flow is expected to take about 20 to 30 minutes in total. It includes a 20-minute interview, a 5-minute form, and a paid work trial. Candidates selected for the trial will receive $120 for it, and successful completion can lead to onboarding for more project work.
Compensation and payment terms
The work is priced at $120 per completed task. Each task is estimated to take around 2 hours, which works out to roughly $60 per hour in effective value. However, payment is made per task rather than by the hour.
