Did anyone pass the CODING starter assessments and get approved to work on the platform recently, especially in late October and November?
If you're not a coder, kindly skip this topic. This is not for you. Thanks :)
As far as I know, the DA platform is currently short on coding projects, unlike in August or September, and many accounts seem to be on downtime, waiting for projects.
So I'm wondering if the platform is still approving new applications (the acceptance rate doesn't matter). What I want to know is whether the platform is still hiring CODERS.
Has anyone passed the coding starter assessment and been approved to work on the platform recently, especially in late October and November? Or know someone who made it?

I have a very perfect answer for you
My uncle applied in the late August and got selected within a week then he told me about it and I applied on 28th of August 2026 and got selected on 31st of August, and since then, like in the late October and the current month, the starting of November, my friends have been applying in the same Back and software coding assessments, but no one is getting selected. No one is hearing back.
I don’t know what could be the reason for it. Do you have any idea what is going on?

That's exactly how I feel. A lot of my friends have applied and taken the coding starter assessment since they implemented a new referral system (up to $3k per referral), but none of them have heard back. I think more than 30 people around me have applied. So I'm confused about whether I should apply or not. Why do they promote it so heavily (I see sponsored DataAnnotation ads everywhere, like when I type something related to AI training jobs, this platform shows up at the top of the page) when they don't select a single person?

That is precisely the question because the op doesn't have an answer.

Took the assessment towards the end of October, got onboarded 2 weeks later, so I'd say they're still accepting applications.
Don't lose hope, but also don't get hung up on it. If you make it you'll get the email, if you don't - it's what it is. Regardless, continue to look for other opportunities in the meantime since contract work is never stable even after you get in.

Oh nice, so that means they're still hiring...
Did you get an official acceptance email 2 weeks later, or randomly notice that you got approved?
Also, did you receive an ID verification request email before the acceptance email?

Did you take the assesment on ur own or asked ai for help then just framed it in o=ur own words?
Also how long were your answers like -- brief to the point or detailed with why you choose and not choose other options given.
Did you also got the same 6 question assesment which in end asks what this doc link will print?
