A question about : Leapforce

Leapforce are currently recruiting Search Engine Evaluators in the UK

https://www.leapforceathome.com/qrp/p...f-prod-03-2209

I've previously worked for Lionbridge and thought this may prevent me working for any other company. However I didn't hide it from LF and was still invited to the exam the same day I applied. I did the exam yesterday. I am not too confident, feel like I may have picked up bad habits whilst working for LB. Bit like retaking a driving test, don't think I would pass again!

Just wondering if anyone is already working for them in case I do manage to pass the exam. Information seems to be minimal. All I have really read so far is that the rate of pay is per minute rather than the hour. Is there a minimum amount of hours per week? How regular is the work? How is payment made? I have read that there isn't any set contract length with LF which is a good thing, not like LB who get rid after 11 months.

Best answers:

  • Glad you started this thread, I'm a LB refugee and I'll be trying out LF too.... What's all this about Google Circles??
  • To be honest I have no idea!
    I applied really quickly when I had 5 minutes. I didn't pay much attention because I expected to be automatically rejected. It was only when somebody on here mentioned it that I went back and had a read.
    It doesn't say it's essential to have a Google + account or any of that, just that the ideal candidate would have one.
    It's worth a try anyway. Really quick process, much faster than Lionbridge.
  • Phew, glad it's not just me, I'm going to give it a go at some point, prolly leave it till after 1/2 term now. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see how it goes, good luck.
  • I've just found out i passed the exam but haven't started work yet. Was a very quick process.
  • Just completed the application and I'm scheduled to start the exam on Friday
  • Hi Lexilex, don't know if you remember me, we worked for LB at the same time & chatted on the lionbridge thread......huge coincidence, but i've just received my exam stuff for Leapforce too!! lol
    Anyway, im hoping work will be more frequent with these...that was the downside of LB in the end, i just couldnt survive on the very little work i received
    Anyone know if Leapforce work is frequent?
  • I'm glad you started this thread. I have just finished my LB contract and am looking at LF to replace my lost income. I am going to apply to LF now
  • I enjoyed LB too, and yes i agree about them no longer updating star ratings, you had nothing to look at for feedback.
    I opted for the 31-40 hour option when signing up, if they could offer that, it would be amazing. Im just a little worried about there being long gaps between tasks
  • Just applied and have the exam next week
    Fingers crossed!
  • I must have done something wrong, I applied a couple of weeks ago, but my application never went past the initial email stage. Very frustrating as I know loads of people getting accepted the same day. I emailed them to see what I did wrong, but nothing so far.
  • if you do get through mind sharing there reference material, as someone who manipulates the serp's it would be great to see what they manual review specs arre like.
