Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

01

About Outlier

What is Outlier?

Outlier is a platform that connects subject matter experts to help build the world’s most advanced Generative AI.
You will work on a variety of projects from generating training data in your discipline to advance these models to evaluating performance of models.

02

Getting started

  1. What does the onboarding process look like?

    Outlier's onboarding process typically takes 30 to 90 minutes and includes creating your account, selecting your areas of expertise, completing skill screenings so we can match you with the right projects, and identity verification to ensure we're building a trusted community. Once you complete the general onboarding, you'll proceed to project-specific onboarding, which varies by project.

03

Qualifications

  1. What qualifications do I need?

    We're looking for candidates with domain expertise across a wide range of fields. While specific qualification requirements vary by opportunity, minimum qualifications typically require undergraduate-level expertise.

    Preferred qualifications typically include being a graduate student, a master's degree holder, or a PhD candidate/graduate in the relevant domain.

    All candidates should demonstrate communication skills in English to effectively navigate our platform, though specific language requirements may vary by project. We also look for enthusiasm about contributing to the development of next-generation AI.

    We encourage you to apply even if you're uncertain about meeting every requirement.

  2. What is your selection process? How are resumes evaluated?

    We review each resume to assess whether candidates meet the minimum requirements for specific domains. You can find detailed qualifications listed alongside each opportunity. 

  3. Can I refer friends or colleagues?

    Absolutely! We welcome applications from qualified candidates and aim to provide everyone with the opportunity to contribute to the development of the next generation of AI models. We encourage referrals for candidates you can personally vouch for based on their expertise or professional experience.

    Once you've created an Outlier account, you'll be able to make referrals directly from your dashboard.

04

Pay

  1. How does payment work?

    Once you complete onboarding and begin working on a project, you'll be paid for your contributions. Payments are processed weekly on Tuesdays.


  2. How much will I be paid?

    Pay varies by task, depending on the difficulty and demand, as well as the contributor's location and level of expertise.

05

Hours

  1. How much time should I expect to contribute?

    Flexibility is one of our core values at Outlier, which means you choose when, where, and how much you contribute. Your earnings are based on the hours you contribute each week, and you maintain complete control over your schedule with no minimum or maximum hour requirements.


  2. Can I do this in addition to another part-time or full-time opportunity?

    Definitely. We built Outlier with flexibility as a core value, so contributors work as independent contractors who can choose their hours and fit contributions around existing commitments, whether part-time or full-time.

  3. How long will this opportunity last?

    Project lengths vary depending on the needs of our customers. Once you complete a project, you'll have the opportunity to join additional projects.
