Beyond that, we offer a spectrum of services including IT, business process outsourcing, advanced professional services, and crowdsourcing in both established and emerging markets.

Our client is seeking candidates interested in a Retainer-based engagement for a 3‑week project. The hours will be structured around a daily commitment, with flexibility to work remotely from any location.

PLEASE REVIEW THE MANDATORY REQUIREMENT BEFORE APPLYING:

• Must have strong subject‑matter expertise in Business Operations & Communications or Education and Academic Research.
• Must understand and be comfortable with the retainer model – you will be compensated for 8 hours per day regardless of task availability, provided you maintain the committed hours.
• Candidates must demonstrate US contextual understanding in writing and evaluation (location is not a factor).
• Resources are required for a fixed 3‑week duration, with availability expected for 8 hours per day across the entire period.

Retainer Project Scope:

This is a retainer-based, full-time commitment role for a defined 2‑week period. Unlike task-based freelance work, you are expected to be available for 8 hours each day, even if specific tasks are not actively assigned. Work may include prompt creation, response evaluation, feedback writing, and calibration sessions. Notifications and task assignments will be communicated via email, Slack, or the client's portal.

POSITION

We are looking for AI Writing Evaluators (Domain Experts) with strong analytical and critical evaluation skills to assess the writing capabilities of advanced AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. In this role, you will create domain‑specific prompts and evaluate AI‑generated responses for accuracy, clarity, relevance, and contextual alignment.

While prior experience with AI tools is beneficial, we encourage candidates with strong academic or professional backgrounds in the target domains to apply, especially those who enjoy structured evaluation and detailed feedback.

• AI Response Evaluation: Assess AI‑generated outputs for:
