Question 1

What is HireFeed?

Accepted Answer

HireFeed is a neutral, pay-disclosed job feed for AI training work — RLHF, LLM evaluation, agentic red-teaming, domain expert data. We index the market so experts can find and apply to real, rate-transparent roles across every major platform in one place. Candidates never pay. Candidate data is never resold.

Question 2

How much do AI trainers earn in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Domain-dependent: generalist annotation $18–$25/hr, coding evaluation $40–$75/hr, math and science reasoning at PhD level $60–$120/hr, agentic evaluation and red-teaming $70–$130/hr, law (JD) $90–$160/hr, medicine (MD/DO) $100–$210/hr. Top decile in medicine and law reaches $250/hr. See the full Pay Index for methodology.

Question 3

How is HireFeed different from Outlier, Mercor, or Surge?

Accepted Answer

Those are marketplaces — they vet talent and sell it at a take rate of 30–55%. HireFeed is an aggregator + credential layer. We do not gate the feed, do not collect data resale rights, and rank platforms with disclosed methodology. Our upcoming Vetted credential is portable — candidate-owned, not locked to our marketplace.

Question 4

Do you charge candidates?

Accepted Answer

No. Candidates never pay to browse the feed, apply, or (when it launches) hold a HireFeed Vetted credential. Revenue comes from buyer-side sourcing seats and programmatic job-ad partners on Tier 3 corporate roles.

Question 5

When does the HireFeed Vetted credential launch?

Accepted Answer

Currently in build. Stage-1 Skill Passport is targeting Q4 2026. Stage-2 domain exams and Stage-3 paid calibration trials follow. Sign up on the newsletter to be alerted for the first cohort — no waitlist gating.
