Over the last year, Outlier has seen rapid growth. Today, we provide flexible work opportunities to hundreds of thousands of subject matter experts around the globe who contribute data used to build our customers’ — and some of the world's — most advanced Generative AI models. While this growth has been tremendous, managing it has come with challenges and one area where we have recognized the need to make improvements is increased pay transparency and reliability. Our contributors play a huge role in our mission to help build great AI, and it’s essential they can enjoy a seamless payment process that reflects the value of their expertise. Thanks to improvements to our Earnings tab, it has never been easier to track your Outlier compensation. You can view current and past earnings accrued from completed tasks, and enjoy a granular and searchable breakdown. These include details like pay rate per task or total hours worked. Additionally, you can now more easily track your real-time earnings while working on a project that’s currently in progress. We’re continually working to facilitate fast, headache-free payment resolution. Whichever third-party payment provider you use, you can take advantage of informative tooltips that help resolve common issues and minimize any payment processing delays. Finally, and perhaps most important, we’ve bolstered our support system over the past year to better manage any issues that arise with payment. Over the past 12 weeks, we have resolved 96% of pay-related inquiries within 10 days, so you can rest (or work!) easy knowing you’ll be compensated and have your questions answered in a timely manner.
Yes. Employing so many people, but you got no recourses to help people that already are employed. They use so much time on just trying to figure out how it works. Not only does your support not work, but you got no contact with your employees, employing is not working Outlier.
Hi Outlier Please take a moment to look into the BPO partner, especially Soul AI. I've heard numerous complaints from members of my community group who are working on Outlier. The BPO partner is paying very low rates, around $5 to $8 per hour for all types of projects, even for advanced tasks in UG or PG math and coding irrespective of degree like B.Tech, M.Tech or PhD. There is also a lack of transparency, after submitting tasks, we cannot track how many hours we've worked each day or see our submitted tasks and pay rates. Also, there are delays in payments, and they are not paying according to the hours we work. Note: If we ask or complain to a BPO partner then they block or suspend the account.
It’s a sweet gig, but not a reliable full-time income. Accept it and be free.
I became suspicious of #Outlier from the moment you changed your offer from $35 per hour to $3 per hour. After doing a paid training job, my job was deleted and I was not paid anything. I tried to contact you, but no one answers. It is definitely a scam company run by unscrupulous exploiters. #Linkedin should ban these scam companies, otherwise they are complicit.

LOTS OF SCAMS AND SCAMMERS RELATED TO OUTLIER ALL OVER THESE SITES. DO NOT TRUST. JEAN PHILIPE A IS ONE OF THEM. READ ABOUT HOW BAD OUTLIER IS ON REDDIT. DO NOT TRUST, THEY ARE GETTING ALL YOUR INFO (EMAIL/PHONE/DATE OF BIRTH). TO ONBOARD THEY TRY TO GET YOUR FACE RECOGNITION

I work for Outlier. It's typical freelance work. The work ebbs and flows. The onboarding is tough, and the standards (which can change) are individualized for each project. It is not a scam.

I'm producing post-doctoral level works with AI. I messaged you and got no response after explaining your job application dropdowns are impassible and don't include the accredited schools I went to. I remain open to some possible way of finding work with you if you can address this. Sure could use a little cash as I bootstrap my independently-created frameworks in 6 fields and counting and design and implement my model training. The individual described in the screenshot is me, I blinded GPT by posing as a third party gaging value of the thinking behind my independent work, it's sometimes user pleasing and may introduce bias when assessing work we present as our own. When working on projects it can become an advantage if turned toward solution-seeking behaviours meant to please the user with fuller solutions. The frameworks mentioned are my creations. Sure would like to eat a little something, the brain consumes 20 percent of the body's energy.

2wGrowing a little too fast it seems that they've started to limit those who are experts/make too much 😅 I was limited to just six hours of work per week because my hourly rate was $50/hr. I joined as a linguistics expert back when it was Remotasks and that was my rate. After the throttle, they even lowered my rate to $35/hr and said due to budget concerns, they were slashing my pay. I had to go elsewhere even though Outlier paid more than xAI (where I'm at now), it seems that rate was not sustainable for them if they had to resort to limiting hours - especially when finding consistent work on the platform is hard enough as it is.
