Leapforce

The reason people are cautious is that you will lose your position if you disclose too much information and this forum and others like it are monitored by Leapforce, Lionbridge and Appen. Even just mentioning the client, as you have done liverwelsh, is breaking the NDA and your application may be rejected just for that. Its just not a risk people are willing to take when they have a decent job from home.

Hi, I've looked at appen but it states that you should be available to work 5 hours a day which I'm not sure I could manage.Do you have to do this amount of hours per day ?

Yes you have to do the full 4/5 hours a day (whatever the Appen contract states)

Are you serious?

Yes, Signing the NDA means we are not allowed to discuss the client, rate of pay etc. I've been doing this job 8 years and am very careful what I discuss in public forums, as are most long term raters. Not worth the risk.

8 years ? Wow, that's good, is that for the same company or have you been able to go from one to the other ? Wasn't sure if they hire people if you say you've worked for a different company in the past.

Been back and forth between Lionbridge, Leapforce and Appen. I am always 100% honest on my applications about working for the other companies, never had an issue.

I was successful at a job with Lionbridge & the rate of pay was awful. Anyone know of the average earning with LF etc? I'd prefer not to even waste my time to apply if it's the same...

As far as I know the rate of pay at LB and LF is similar and it's far from awful. Dependent on the exchange rate of course but well above the NMW and good for a WAH job. We can't mention any figures due to the NDA

from what I've read, am I right in thinking that if I haven't heard immediately from Leapforce about an exam that I didn't succeed?

They do seem to get back to you pretty quickly with the exam details if they want to take you on. In my case it was a few days.

I think the rate of pay is great. It is less than it was when I first started, several years ago, but thats true for a lot of jobs. I would love to hear of a WAH job that pays more than LB and LF! I have never found one. In fact its much better pay than a lot of jobs here in the north as many employers only pay NMW

Well my earnings were below NMW. I queried it & they explained the contract did not pay hourly therefore they were not obliged to ensure my earnings met NMW.

Which sounds like you were doing crowdsourcing (paid per task) rather than web search evaluation (hourly wage). They are very different jobs.
