Practical guides for the full AI-work applicant journey
Use these guides to prepare, assess fit, understand task formats, and handle post-acceptance or safety questions. Guides explain the process; live listings show current reviewed roles.
Possible applicant journey
From first application to a possible first payment
These stages are not guaranteed or universal. A platform may reject an application, add steps, pause matching, or use different project and payment rules.
Stage 1 · Possible next stage
Understand the work
Learn the task families, evidence standards, and screening formats before choosing a role.
Stage 2 · Possible next stage
Choose suitable platforms
Compare current inventory, application paths, and platform-specific limitations.
Stage 3 · Possible next stage
Prepare the application
Connect real professional evidence to one current role without inventing experience.
Stage 4 · Possible next stage
Complete screening
Follow the rubric, use only permitted tools, and explain judgments from your own expertise.
Stage 5 · Possible next stage
Complete identity and payment setup
Use verified official domains for any identity, contract, tax, or payout-provider step.
Stage 6 · Possible next stage
Receive a project or task
Acceptance can lead to matching or more qualification; it does not guarantee immediate work.
Stage 7 · Possible next stage
Track and submit approved work
Follow the engagement rules for time, tasks, deliverables, review, and approval.
Stage 8 · Possible next stage
Receive the first payment
Separate platform approval and release timing from the provider's bank-settlement timing.
