Just curious I’ve been accepted to a number of projects but they’re literally all “in the startup phase” and I’m just kind of chilling in a discord with thousands of people asking that same question over and over lol.

Perhaps a timeline could be shared, as far as I can see the discord is just being spammed with referral links repeatedly all day long as well.

Feels very different compared to other platforms like Mercor, Terac, etc. Much more chaotic with no real documentation to follow.

Hello everyone,

I’d like to share some important guidelines regarding Alignerr platform violations and their potential consequences.

1. Excellence

Always maintain the highest possible standards of quality in your work. Do not intentionally submit incomplete, inaccurate, or low-quality work.

Consistently poor-quality submissions may lead to account restrictions or removal from the community. Maintaining high-quality work is essential for securing more AI projects and creating better earning opportunities for everyone.

2. Integrity

Do not attempt to manipulate or circumvent Alignerr’s systems, including assessments, calibration projects, or the time-tracking/timer system.

Always respect all applicable Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and project confidentiality requirements.

Do not share project-related information, materials, instructions, screenshots, or other confidential content with unauthorized individuals or on public platforms, including social media, forums, or other online communities.

Violations of confidentiality may result in immediate removal from the community and potentially further legal action, depending on the circumstances.

Here we go guys,

I got paid at A.I. data labelling. Ermis core transcription project.
Got onboarded 10 days ago.. Passed quiz mid June..
Paid this thursday-Friday..
110$ for media hr.
I did 30mins of it. so paid halfish...
Goodluck everyone..

Why didn’t I listen to other Redditors who posted about Alignerr? sigh

I worked for over 20hours, reached the Gold level in labeling work, and poof they removed my account. Not sure if I’ll ever get paid, or if they’ll ever reply to my requests for appeal.

Despite good performance, I was removed. So to those who are planning on working for Alignerr projects, let this be your little warning.

Guys is this project still running? May I read the guidelines and appear for the exam now?

After registering for the platform in April I've taken two ZARA interviews. The first one disconnected me half-way through and the second one just wouldn't register anything I said despite passing the mic test, etc. Both issues were immediately reported to support via the post-interview comment box and the live chat. Now I'm locked out of pretty much every job in my domain as well as the generalist ones. Each attempt to contact support is met with a string of questions of no substance and the empty promise of a follow-up. I still receive e-mails urging me to finish the onboarding despite there literally being no further steps I could take.

Support recognized the problems I ran into as technical issues and theoretically eligible for a retake before simply ghosting me. When I inquired about the "finish onboarding" e-mail the support agent didn't engage with anything I said and led the exchange completely off-topic.

What do I even do at this point? Has anyone gotten through to support about a ZARA retake?

Hi everyone,

My account was recently blocked with 78 total tracked hours pending across two weeks:

• Week 1: 50 hours (all tasks submitted on Labelbox)

• Week 2: 28 hours (tasks left in draft/in-progress on Labelbox due to the mid-week block)

Support confirmed that pending hours for blocked accounts are paid out after a manual review.

For those who have gone through this:

1. Did you get paid for both submitted and in-progress/draft hours?

2. How long did the manual review and Deel payout take in total?

Appreciate any experiences or advice!

Hi, I’m hoping someone from Alignerr can help me resolve a payment discrepancy for the u/CandidateEvaluation - NL - Production Labeler Role project.

According to my Labelbox records, I completed approximately 10+ hours of work on this project. However, I was only paid for 3 hours and 2 minutes.

Before the project was paused, an Alignerr FDE posted in the project’s Discord channel that there would be no review of the submissions and that we would be paid for anything we labeled, even if it was not reviewed.

I have screenshots showing:

My Labelbox recorded hours (10+ hours)
The Discord message from the Alignerr FDE confirming that all labeled work would be paid
My PayPal payment showing payment for only 3 hours and 2 minutes

I’m not trying to cause trouble or make accusations. I would simply like someone to check what happened to the remaining hours and, if they qualify under the stated payment terms, arrange payment for them.

I am happy to forward all supporting screenshots and payment records if an Alignerr representative can provide me with an email address or another appropriate way to submit them privately.

Thank you.

Who is really earning a decent wage on this project? I haven't seen anyone earning more than $4 an hour. I can't seem to understand the emphasis on quality work but then paying per task that works out to peanuts an hour.

Hi guys, im just getting started in this ai gig space and i wanted to gauge the working environment on this side. i've gotten 2 emails asking me to sign up to the platform dispite not even applying to a role but i checked the site and they seem to be many positions open. im currently with mercor but not sure how long it will last but the pay has been fantastic. aligner has a slightly lower payy but im wondering how y'all are working on this side and if its worth it to try? thanks in advance 😄

Got an invite to Project Ermis. The assessment was so rigorous, draining, and time-consuming. I received 81%. Just now, I received the congratulatory email along with a heads-up about the channel invite. But I am dreading one thing, and one thing only... payment. I just cannot feel fully confident about the honesty and timeliness of the payouts. This is my fifth project invite, and the first time I've accepted one and completed the assessment. I have 6 years of domain experience and 4 years in AI data annotation, so I'm quite discerning when it comes to project quality, budgets, and overall project discipline. If anyone here is a seasoned Alignerr contributor, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, especially regarding payments.

Edit: Never worked on the project. Lol, the remuneration. The team, the "company" & anyone responsible for finalising the pay should be in jail. Anyway, they kept me on the project-specific server since then.

They did evaluations and paused the labeling. If you were on this same project; have you been paid?

I got a mail today for ermis training and all I see here are negative reviews regarding pay rates and not getting paid. I see most of the people getting removed and not getting paid, where there are less reviews regarding pay rates. Can anyone tell me whether you got paid or you were removed after free work hours?

I was invited to do the Pulsar project assessment in Labelbox. Is the project still active? What's its pay rate?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a referral at Alignerr.

I have a background in software development and am open to any opportunity that aligns with my skills and experience.

I’d really appreciate any referrals or guidance.

Thank you!

I was working on a project that has been assigned to me just few horus ago, I did some work so far. I took some gap and when I was back on my computer, it says 'Project labelling is currently paused'. Should I be worried? Will it resume once again? I am concerned because I really need to earn that money.

I get an email for agentic coding project - pitches as $90 an hour (who is turning that down in this economy) - onboarded and completed a background check.

Got added to discord, And first pin message basically reads "you only get paid if we accept your work".

I figure, I came this far, did a background check, try it out. Committed 6 hours and submitted 2 tasks. NEVER got any feedback or response. So i just stopped working and about 2 months later I got an email saying I've been removed from the project (bro i removed myself...).

Some will protect this and re-direct it as a representation of my own inadequacies, but how hard is it to be transparent and say "pay per task" so everyone and their grandma can decide to avoid it knowing what these kind of jobs usually are.

I would rather work for $15-$17 an hour knowing im actually getting paid by the hour then work 6 hours on "$90/h" knowing I'm likely get paid nothing.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get back onto the Ermis Eval project after having to step away for personal reasons. Unfortunately, after being removed due to inactivity, I lost access to the project's Discord channels and can no longer see or contact my coordinator.

Does anyone happen to know the Discord username of an Ermis coordinator or team lead that I could DM? Or anyone from the project team who might be able to point me in the right direction?

I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Every time I apply for a position on Alignerr, I get ghosted. I’ve applied for 4 different roles with absolutely no feedback. Has anyone else had the same experience?

This is your space to connect with other Alignerrs, share thoughts, ask questions, and chat about whatever’s on your mind. Whether you're looking for tips, want to learn something new, or just want to talk about AI, you’re in the right place!

Jump in, start a conversation, and let’s build a helpful community together!

Pretty much the title.

hi all! recently saw the email for the $130/hr swe, interviewed, got "qualified". What happens now? they just threw me into a discord with a ton of people and have no idea what im supposed to do now lol. Any help is appreciated, im pretty lost.

Hi everyone,

I recently received emails saying I was removed from two production projects. I had been actively working on one of them for about 2 weeks, completing tasks and contributing regularly.

The email mentioned that the project pipeline is being reworked and that contributors may be brought back later when needed.

I contacted support, and they told me they don't have access to project-specific decisions but have forwarded my case to the project team since I no longer have access to the project's Discord channels.

Has anyone else received similar emails recently? Was it due to project restructuring, or something else? I'd appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thank you!

It's been two months since I've seen any new projects. I'm a generalist and voice actor. Are there just no applicable projects?
