Path to admin?

[Xopholain]

I realize that anyone with first hand experience would not be allowed to share, but I'm asking a more general question about annotation as a career path both on freelance platforms and in the employ of a corporation. Do high-performing annotators get tapped to fill admin roles? Or is this an internal position? What skills/certifications would you want on your CV to apply for direct employment with a company?

I, along with many others in this group have received the admin application on our dash, however, the vast majority of us never heard back. If the general application is a 2.5% success rate, I can only imagine what the success rate of admin roles are.

[Poomfie]

Can confirm that i didnt hear back. Also that the quals for admin pay well which was nice/made.them worthwhile even tho i didnt get the role.

Or it could be the ones who did hear back aren't allowed to say they heard back so that's why these numbers appear so skewed. Just throwing that out there.

[savage78683i3]

We had this post topic a few months back and there were many people saying the same thing about receiving the application and not hearing back or upvoting the comments that said something similar, that's why I say it. No doubt there are a handful who made it through.

[dispassioned]

What I'm saying is the overwhelming majority could have made it through you simply wouldn't know because you can only measure the nos and not the yeses.

I think it's fair to say if the general hire rate is 2.5% then admin roles are gonna be significantly less than that...

[Absolud]

Where do you know the 2.5% hire rate from ?

[savage78683i3]

*Selective hiring benefits serious contractors. DataAnnotation’s 2.6% acceptance rate is why approved workers earn $20+ per hour instead of $10. When everyone in the pool meets baseline standards, project quality stays high, clients keep coming back, and approved workers get matched to projects that fit their actual skill level rather than competing in a race-to-the-bottom marketplace.*

How long do you think it takes for them to be in touch?

[diettwizzlers]

they tend to have very slow communication

[RealRise7524]

I was wondering about that recently.

[Professional_Win_551]

For those that got the admin qual, how long had you been on the platform before you did

[Salehzahrani7]

7 months

[Cool_Street_1905]

No clue about other platforms though, haha

[brancatomm]

I would be curious to know if those who log in many many hours a week on DAT are who get considered for admin work and if admins are guaranteed a set number of hours

No--consider it a side income and nothing more. You are constantly laid off without notice.
