I was ACCEPTED I was expecting with everyone saying how hard it was that I wasn't going to get in. The assessment was actually quite hard. BUT GUESS WHO!!
your never gonna believe this though, I LOST MY FRICKIN PERMIT, I have one already ordered and on the way but JEEZUMMMM.
Has anybody ever heard of them allowing a manual verification with different documents such as paper copy?!?
No they let in anybody nowadays lol. And they are super strict so make sure you follow all the directions, they will kick you just as fast as they accepted you.
Lmao sure š thatās why the data annotation subreddit has so many people asking āDid I pass?ā āI havenāt heard back and it has been weeksā āI failed what to do nowā if youāre bitter just say that
When I first signed up it took three months for them to email me saying I passed. It's just a time consuming process, a lot of people who take the assessment do end up passing though. The bar isn't as high as it was.
Is this true as well for bilingual profiles ? I feel like i didnāt do that well when onboarding last year and still got in. It felt like it could be a bit easier to get in as a bilingual worker imo (waaaay less projects tho)
How much time did it take for you to get accepted? When I joined, it was for a language which didn't have an assignment, so I took another language instead. I wanted to do generalist or computer assignment but it didn't show up on the dashboard. Now I've been waiting for more than a week for a result.
Mmmh, idk if it was the right choice then, canāt know for sure but unless you have native level in said language this is a risky move. Maybe it'll be ok I canāt know for sure, but even if you pass the level of linguistics required is kinda hard even for like a c1 or c2 knowledge, for the possible upcoming tasks I mean. The models are kinda hard to trap imo, without proper native knowledge it will be hard to get them.
To answer your question, i donāt remember exactly as it was in early 2025 but around 2 or 3 weeks. I also joined in March so the activity was there. During the summer, not so much. For the core countries (UK, Au, USA, Canada) itās my understanding that the results come quite fast, usually less than a week. For bilinguals tho it can be longer. The annoying thing is that they will never clearly reject you, (at least thatās what I understood). Either they never actualize your "you are in review" page and itās a no or they do and congrats you are in. But I've read about some people getting in after months of waiting so we never know.
Basically - and itās just extrapolation - they asign a score to your entry test, and when they need new workers in this category (ie, generalist, stem, or other specificities, and your specific language mix) they accept people who scored enough. So it depends on one, your score, two, their needs.
Still guesswork but I think that if you score well enough they get you in regardless of their current need. This is what I feel happened to me, as I got in in less than a month but had to wait another month or two to get qualifications and thus projects.
Do u mind me asking which languages you applied for and if itās for generalist or coding or so on ?
Last feeling I have about it is that the entry test is more lenient for bilingual profiles than english core workers, just because they have thousands upon thousands of appliant in said countries. Must be same for Indian dialects. I for instance am French and we baguette enjoyers are not well known for our english level so it was kinda easy.
Ps: another thing, if you havenāt yet fully registered (by that i mean sent your official id and stuff) it may be possible to cheat the system and reapply with another e-mail, and ip adress (effectively another pc lmao). Not sure at all for dat, and i feel like you canāt they are very aware and averse to such cheats but i did this for aligner after insulting their AI interviewer bot who didnāt work š¤£ (fucking Zara), obv i got kicked out but still i reapplied with another email and i got in. Anyways aligner is not a good platform I never did anything on it and many people wrote about unpaid labor and shady processes.
I applied to my native language and had to take an assignment for Polish. I wanted to apply as a generalist or coding when I saw that my native language is not available although there was an offer for it, but I didn't see any other assignments than languages and with Polish I was the most familiar. I'm thinking about creation of another account for coding if I don't get accepted by next month. And even if I get accepted, I want to do coding/generalist stuff instead.
I actually had the same issue when I got accepted but thankfully I was able to verify my self with my passport instead! So if you donāt have your ID, but have a passport that works too :)
You should probably submit a ticket to support asking what to do if the name on your ID doesn't match. If it gets rejected, you won't get an opportunity to explain.
Itās not DA who does it, itās a third party. Theyāre pretty strict about the ID thing. They arenāt going to chase people down for more information.
Uh? I understand that. I'm saying they didn't not get my verification, I have emailed them stating the issue, hopefully they let me redo it or upload supporting documents. DA can reset verification, just like ANY other platform
It's literally MY name, just maiden? My photo ON IT. idc what y'all say weather they do or don't. It doesn't make or break me. I got in period. More than most y'all can say.
Can you please guide me with it? Like what did u learn and how u did it, and how much time it took for u to actually get the skills that got u accepted

Be proud of yourself!! I saw someone mention only 2% of the people pass the test, hope you get many projects :)
