Applying to Invisible, step by step

Researched Nov 2026

Apply to a project on meridial.ai (Invisible Technologies' expert network) or join the network to be matched, complete your profile and a brief confirmation step, pass the checks a project asks for, then sign a Statement of Work and work as an independent contractor paid every two weeks.

Who can join

  • Recognized expertise in your field: Meridial asks for active practice, professional experience, or formal credentials in your domain, and says the work draws on real knowledge, not general research skills.
  • Clear written English. Meridial requires English proficiency when you sign up, even though some engagements are in other languages.
  • A personal laptop or desktop with a modern browser, 8GB RAM and a stable connection of at least 10 Mbps. Meridial says a camera is needed for identity confirmation.
  • Projects are tied to places. On 8 Nov 2026 Meridial's projects board listed 827 project postings: 200 open worldwide, 130 for the United States, and the rest for other countries or regions. A few entry projects exist: 4 of the 827 were 'AI Generalist (No Experience Required)' projects, all for the United States. Every other posting names a domain, language or profession.
  • You must already be allowed to work where you are. Meridial does not sponsor or support any visa or work authorization (including F-1/OPT and H-1B), and by accepting a Statement of Work you confirm you are independently authorized to do the work in your jurisdiction.
  • You work as an independent contractor, not an employee of Meridial or Invisible Technologies.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Find a project or join to be matched

    Go to meridial.ai/projects. Each project card opens a posting on Meridial's job board, where you apply. If no project fits, the page's 'Join to be matched' button takes you to the Meridial sign-up so Meridial can connect you to projects that fit your expertise.

  2. 2

    Fill in the application form

    A project posting's form asks for your name, email, phone, resume or CV, country of residence, US state (or that you are outside the US) and LinkedIn profile, plus agreement to the privacy policy.

  3. 3

    Create your profile and confirm your identity

    Fill in your profile, indicate your skills, and complete a brief confirmation step. Meridial says a camera is needed for identity confirmation.

  4. 4

    Profile review and matching

    Meridial reviews your expertise against current project needs. If there is a match it reaches out with project details and next steps; if not, your profile stays active for future projects. There is no guarantee of immediate work.

  5. 5

    Pass the onboarding checks (worker-reported)

    Meridial does not publish its tests. Worker reports collected by aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) describe an initial skill verification, an English assessment whose level decides which projects accept you, a project-specific assessment (sometimes an AI interview or recorded video answers), and an ID check with a face scan followed by a proof-of-address check.

  6. 6

    Sign the Statement of Work and start

    Every engagement is scoped by a Statement of Work that shows what is involved, what it pays and how long it is expected to last before you commit. You sign it and choose when you engage. Rates are confirmed before you begin.

Meridial onboarding checks (skills test, English assessment, project assessment, ID and address)

Meridial's own pages describe only a brief confirmation step when you create your profile and publish no test format. Worker reports collected by the third-party site aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) describe several gates before paid work: an initial skill verification (some applicants get a critical thinking, word logic and abstract reasoning test), an English assessment graded on a level scale that projects use to accept or refuse applications, and a test for each project (sometimes an AI interview or recorded video answers). The same reports describe compliance checks: a photo ID with a face scan, then a proof-of-address document that must match your profile. Applicants report these steps can sit for weeks between stages.

Format

Online. Worker-reported: some project assessments are proctored with your camera, microphone and full screen shared; the English assessment is reported to run through a provider called Hallo and to have no retake option in the portal. Meridial does not publish the format, timing or pass mark.

How to prepare

  • Start the skill verification only when you can finish it in one sitting: applicants who closed the tab midway report the test stuck at 'in progress' with no way to restart.
  • Take the English assessment rested, in a quiet room, with a headset and microphone, answering in full sentences at a normal pace. Treat it as a single attempt.
  • For proctored assessments, close other apps first: they ask for camera, microphone and full screen sharing.
  • Read each assessment's instructions before you begin: some applicants report being sent a test for a different role than the one they applied to.
  • Type your address in your profile exactly as it appears on your bank statement, and have a recent bank statement or utility bill in your name with that address ready for the address check (an English version if your bank offers one).

Why people get rejected

  • An English level below what projects require: one applicant who rushed the test and scored B1 found every project application refused, with no retake.
  • Closing the skill verification midway, leaving it stuck at 'in progress'.
  • Proof of address that does not match the profile, an ID card used as proof of address, an ID showing a previous address, or an incomplete profile address that could not be edited later.
  • A proof-of-address document in a language other than English.
  • No current project that needs your profile, so applications sit at 'under review'.
How long it takes

Meridial publishes no timeline; its FAQ says only that it reaches out when your profile matches a current project and that there is no guarantee of immediate work. Worker reports collected by the third-party site aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) range from one day to several months. One US applicant heard nothing for about two months after joining, then received an eligibility survey, a short assessment and a project invite within a few days. The portal says a manual address review takes about 2 business days, but applicants whose address check failed report waiting two weeks to two months for a manual fix, and you cannot start an invited project until the check clears.

When you get paid

You are paid as an independent contractor. Meridial says earnings are processed every two weeks to the account details in your profile. Pay is set per project by your experience and expertise, and every engagement shows its pay rate and expected length before you commit. Meridial says all time on projects is paid (every minute spent on a project is compensated), payments are issued directly to you with no platform cut, and you manage your own tax obligations.

Tips to get accepted

  • Apply through meridial.ai, not Invisible's corporate careers page: invisibletech.ai/careers is for Invisible's own staff roles and sends 'Expert opportunities' to meridial.ai.
  • Describe your domain precisely in your profile. Meridial reviews your expertise against current project needs and reaches out only when there is a match.
  • Keep applying to postings that fit while you wait. Meridial says your profile stays active and is considered as new projects become available, and that availability varies by domain, experience level and timing.
  • Get the ID and address checks right on the first upload: use the original document, flat, in daylight, with all four corners visible, showing the same address as your profile. Workers report the portal usually offers no resubmit button after a failure.
  • If your skills test is the critical thinking, word logic and abstract reasoning format, answer only from the passage. A third-party prep guide (updated 1 Oct 2026) says answers built on outside knowledge are marked wrong, and choosing 'definitely true' or 'definitely false' when the text is silent is one of the most common mistakes.
  • Technical applicants: on 10 Mar 2026 Invisible announced an agreement to acquire WeCP, a technical assessment platform with more than 18,000 assessments, and said it will integrate WeCP's evaluation tools into Meridial for expert validation. Meridial's pages do not yet say how this changes its tests (read 8 Nov 2026).

What isn't public

  • Meridial and Invisible do not publish their tests: no format, time limits, pass mark or retake rules. The onboarding gates described here (skill verification, English level test, project assessments, ID and address checks) come from one third-party site, aitrainer.work, summarizing worker reports, and may differ by project.
  • The three-module reasoning test (Critical Thinking, Word Logic, Abstract Reasoning) and its module timings come from a single third-party prep guide that does not say how it obtained them.
  • There is no published timeline from application to first paid work.
  • Meridial's pages do not mention a joining or application fee either way; they say payments reach you with no platform cut.
  • Meridial does not publish its payment provider, a minimum payout, the payout currency, or which US tax form contractors receive. Invisible's contractor privacy policy says payments are generally handled by third-party payment providers.
  • Meridial's pages disagree on the camera: the become-an-expert page says a camera is needed for identity confirmation only, not during engagements, while Invisible's contractor privacy policy (effective 2 Mar 2026) says the camera may be used during tasks to verify identity and presence (facial geometry, eye tracking and presence detection), mandatory where a project says so.
  • Invisible does not publish acceptance rates or rejection reasons. The failure reasons listed come from worker reports.
  • Glassdoor interview reports could not be re-read for this update, so this guide gives no Glassdoor time-to-hire figure.

Applying to Invisible: questions

How do I actually get accepted onto Invisible / Meridial?

Browse opportunities on the Meridial projects page, join the Meridial network and complete your profile, including a brief confirmation step. Meridial reviews your expertise against current project needs; if there is a match it reaches out with project details and next steps, and matched experts sign a Statement of Work. If there is no current match, your profile stays active for future projects.

Is Meridial the same as Invisible Technologies?

Meridial describes itself as an expert contractor marketplace powered by Invisible Technologies. It connects domain experts with AI training projects, and you are not an employee of Meridial or Invisible Technologies.

What is the Invisible / Meridial assessment?

Meridial does not publish its tests. Worker reports collected by aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) describe an initial skill verification, an English assessment whose level decides which projects accept you (reported to have no retake), a test for each project that can be an AI interview or recorded video answers, some proctored with camera, microphone and screen sharing, and then an ID check with a face scan and a proof-of-address check.

How do I prepare for the logic assessment?

A third-party prep guide (updated 1 Oct 2026) describes three timed modules: Critical Thinking (about 24 minutes), Word Logic (about 7 minutes) and Abstract Reasoning (about 15 minutes), about 46 minutes in all. Its core rule: if the passage does not say it, treat it as unknown and do not use outside knowledge. For the visual sequences it suggests tracking one element at a time (shape, color, angle, number, size). It notes that which roles require the test can vary.

Why do applicants get stuck or rejected?

Meridial publishes no rejection reasons. Worker reports point to an English level below what projects require (with no retake), a skills test closed midway and stuck 'in progress', proof of address that does not match the profile or uses an ID card, and statuses that sit at 'under review' for weeks while no project needs the profile.

How long until I get my first paid task?

Meridial publishes no timeline. Worker reports collected by aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) range from one day to several months; one US applicant heard nothing for about two months, then went from an eligibility survey to a project invite within days. A failed address check can add two weeks to two months.

Is it free to join, and how do I get paid?

Meridial's pages do not mention any joining or application fee, and they say payments are issued directly to you with no platform cut. Earnings are processed every two weeks to the account details in your profile, all time on projects is paid, each engagement shows its pay rate before you commit, and you manage your own taxes as an independent contractor.

Is the pay hourly, and does my location change it?

Project postings state an hourly rate and say the exact rate is set after verifying your experience, expertise and geographic location, and that final offers may differ from the listed range. As a contractor you supply a secure computer and high-speed internet, and benefits such as health insurance and paid time off do not apply.

Is my work monitored?

Invisible's contractor privacy policy (effective 2 Mar 2026) says it collects activity data such as mouse and keyboard activity levels and active session time to validate billable work, may record your full screen while you do tasks (with a visible indicator), and may use your camera during tasks to verify identity and presence, including facial geometry, eye tracking and presence detection, with the webcam mandatory where a project says so. It may also ask for selfies and images of a government ID, and a taxpayer identification number, to verify identity and process payments.

How long does it take to hear back from Invisible?

Meridial publishes no timeline; its FAQ says only that it reaches out when your profile matches a current project and that there is no guarantee of immediate work. Worker reports collected by the third-party site aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) range from one day to several months. One US applicant heard nothing for about two months after joining, then received an eligibility survey, a short assessment and a project invite within a few days. The portal says a manual address review takes about 2 business days, but applicants whose address check failed report waiting two weeks to two months for a manual fix, and you cannot start an invited project until the check clears.

Does Invisible have an assessment?

Yes: Meridial onboarding checks (skills test, English assessment, project assessment, ID and address). Meridial's own pages describe only a brief confirmation step when you create your profile and publish no test format. Worker reports collected by the third-party site aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) describe several gates before paid work: an initial skill verification (some applicants get a critical thinking, word logic and abstract reasoning test), an English assessment graded on a level scale that projects use to accept or refuse applications, and a test for each project (sometimes an AI interview or recorded video answers).
