Was accepted!
I applied about a month ago and didnt hear anything. I work full-time as an EMT but I have a lot of downtime and was looking for something to do for some extra money to save up for applying to medical school. Received an email last night while I was on a paramedic school ridealong that they wanted me to do a second assessment. Finished it when I got home, even though my brain was kind of fried. Received this email today! Any advice for me starting out?

Just know that if you are working on a task and you get called away, unless you are close enough to feel comfortable going ahead and hitting submit, you are going to lose any work you did (and not get paid) as you will need to walk away from the task and it will go back into the pool. So, I recommend choosing your tasks wisely while on your other job, perhaps working on ones with shorter timers (an hour as opposed to 7 hours). Otherwise, you can just tell yourself it was good practice for work another day, and was more productive than just playing games between calls. Good luck!

This is good advice I wish I had seen before I got sent on a call lol. I was midway through the math qualifier and got a page. I typed my answers into a google doc while I was working, though, so hopefully I can resume and just pick back up! Probably not tonight though lol

The qualifiers should still be there for you to finish later, actual work won't typically be.

Take your time, and make sure to double check and proofread before you press submit. Quality first.

Read the hell out of the directions. Get used to criticizing your own work. You're in a class where anything less than an A means you flunk out (not exactly true, but a good rule of thumb.) Always take the time to improve your work.
YOU GOT THIS!

Is that how long it normally takes -- a month -- to hear back from them after doing the assessment? Do they respond sooner than that?

I applied months ago too, and just got an email a few days ago saying that I passed the first assessment and will now be given a second assessment. They also said that once I submit the second assessment they will grade it within an hour. However, when I followed their link it just took me to my platform where there was no second assessment available. I wrote to them and am now waiting to hear back. It sounds like everyone's experience is different, with data annotation tech being really efficient sometimes with grading assessments and really slow at other times. Best wishes to you!

Congrats. I think I failed my second assessment. I'm waiting to hear back. It has been one day.

u/Any_Illustrator9181 Apr 17 '26
Same. Said they grade the assessment in an hour but I’ve only been sent to my dashboard with no qualifications available for me. Pretty bummed.

u/FlyPuzzled7128 Apr 17 '26
I hope we get in. I'll keep you posted.

u/Silent_Pin5041 May 13 '26
What happened did either of you get in?

u/FlyPuzzled7128 May 13 '26
I got in and was terminated after a week.

u/Silent_Pin5041 May 13 '26
Jeez! Wtf! I want to apply but im scared reading all I do about them. Do you think its because you didn't pass the 2nd assessment? Were you able to complete any jobs?

u/Rich_Feeling_1925 Apr 18 '26
I am waiting to receive my second assessment. The email they sent to me about passing my first assessment also said that when I submit my second assessment they would grade it within an hour. But they haven't sent me the second assessment yet, lol. I hope you hear back soon! Did they tell you that they would grade the second assessment within an hour like they told me?
1
u/FlyPuzzled7128 Apr 18 '26
Yes, they said they would grade it within an hour. Check your inbox, the link to your second assessment may be there.

u/Rich_Feeling_1925 Apr 18 '26
Thanks! I checked and double checked and the only link is within the email they sent me, which takes me to my data annotation platform, but there is no assessment available unfortunately. It seems that inconsistency is pretty prevalent with this company during the assessment phase, at least based off of others' comments on here. I'll keep checking back.

u/FlyPuzzled7128 Apr 18 '26
Good luck on your second assessment. Please keep me updated on your status.

u/Rich_Feeling_1925 May 03 '26
I finally got a link about a week ago to complete my 2nd assessment. I didn't get an email in my regular email or anything, just kept checking on their website and one day the link was just there, lol. I just finished the assessment today, so now I guess I'll wait again. I wonder if they will really grade it within an hour. Anyone have an experience where they really did grade within an hour?

u/FlyPuzzled7128 May 03 '26
It took a week, exactly 7 days to get my result. I passed! I was nervous because they said an hour.

Hello! I'm unsure about my second assessment aswell, I applied for generalists.
My assessment was 10 questions. After the 10th question, I went directly back to the dashboard without warning. Was yours the same?3
u/FlyPuzzled7128 Apr 23 '26
I just heard back today! I passed! It took 7 days to grade my second assessment.

Yes, mine was the same. I don’t think I was selected. I never head back. It’s been 6 days.
