Turing

Yes. Turing (Turing Enterprises, Inc.) is a real AI data company, valued at $2.2 billion in March 2025, that hires experts as contractors and pays their hours once a month, through its own portal or through Deel. Vetting is long and proctored, applicants who are not picked often hear nothing, and contracts run for weeks and can end at any time; some contractors also report earnings stuck for two months or more.

No. Turing is a real company. We found no Turing warning about fake recruiters (searched 6 Nov 2026). Its roles and applications are on work.turing.com, onboarding mail now comes from onboarding@turing.com and support from support@turing.com; Turing does message people on WhatsApp, so check any offer against work.turing.com. Its old help center said talent never pays to join; never pay to get a job.

Yes. Established, well-funded, real lab clients. Worker sentiment is average-to-cautious on task consistency. Payouts: Monthly for the hours your manager approves: processed by the 5th business day of the following month into a USD wallet (Airwallex) on Turing's portal and withdrawn by bank transfer, or through Deel depending on the project (Project Onboarding, read 6 Nov 2026). Pay follows the hours your manager approves for each pay period. Turing's Project Onboarding article (read 6 November 2026) says regular hours are processed by the 5th business day of the following month (July's by the 5th business day of August) into a USD wallet (Airwallex) under Workspace > Payments, from which you withdraw by bank transfer; funds can take up to 72 business hours to arrive, and cryptocurrency is not supported. After you add payment details a 'Processing' check usually clears within 48 hours; do not edit your profile or tax details while it runs.

$15–$200/hr; raters $15–$30/hr. No rate card, and Turing's Apply for Jobs article (read 6 Nov 2026) says pay is shared after the interest form, but some job posts state pay. Read from Turing's own job list (work.turing.com/jobs, its jobs API, read 6 Nov 2026): 318 roles (308 remote), 62 of them stating a rate. Rater and quality-analyst projects: AI quality analysts in 13 languages $15 an hour (Dutch and Polish $20), Samsung Android personal-account generalists about $15, Gemini education experts $20, Android generalist raters $25, US educational raters $30, and image annotation QA 'approximately $7' an hour. Expert roles: 19 finance and banking roles '~$100+/hour'; GenAI security evaluation up to $150; senior software engineers for coding-agent evaluation $100 to $150 (North America only); one software engineer post $200 an hour. Eighteen roles pay per approved task: $25 (10 code-review, SWE-bench and model-evaluator roles open in India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other named countries), $30 (an ML systems engineer and a web research role) and $260 to $300 (bioinformatics, life science, computer science and earth science task authors). Spanish voice actors get USD 200 per finished audio hour plus a USD 20 onboarding fee, and music and audio experts up to about $150 to $160 for a 2-day project. The other 256 roles state no rate; healthcare, legal and business-consulting posts no longer state one. The Glassdoor averages on the earlier card (AI Trainer ~$40 an hour, domain expert ~$71) were not re-checked.

Turing pays $15–$200/hr; raters $15–$30/hr (platform-stated). It rewards credentialed experts who clear its assessment far more than open generalist work. Worker sentiment: Trustpilot 2.3/5 (205 reviews) · Glassdoor 3.5/5 (789 reviews) · Indeed 4.6/5 (92 reviews).

Monthly for the hours your manager approves: processed by the 5th business day of the following month into a USD wallet (Airwallex) on Turing's portal and withdrawn by bank transfer, or through Deel depending on the project (Project Onboarding, read 6 Nov 2026).

Fully remote in most countries, but not from the 30 its own onboarding marks as US sanctions (OFAC) countries, where it does not verify IDs: Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, Venezuela and Lebanon among them (read 22 Oct and again 6 Nov 2026, unchanged); its Create your Account article also says residents of mainland China cannot apply. Many contracts need ~4 hrs daily overlap with US Pacific time.

Anywhere from 48 hours to 6 weeks after you finish every required step: about 1 to 2 weeks for entry roles, 2 to 3 for mid-level and 3 to 4+ for senior or specialized roles. If you hear nothing in 6 weeks, you were most likely not selected.

Not always. Because of the volume, Turing contacts only the people it moves forward, gives no individual feedback, and moves roles you were not picked for to Archived Applications. After a formal rejection you can reapply to the same role after 3 months, and you can apply to other roles at any time.

Only if a technical problem stopped you: then support can reset it (send the challenge name or ID). Otherwise you must wait a 90-day cool-off before trying the same assessment again, and an AI interview cannot be reset or retaken at all, even after a technical problem.

Many posts, such as AI Quality Analyst (English), start with it: shortlisted applicants get a Job Interest Form, then after a profile review an assessment that must be finished within 24 hours, and those who pass are contacted about pre-onboarding. That post offers 3-month contractor work of up to 40 hours a week with 4 hours of overlap with PST.

It depends on the role. For example, GenAI Security Evaluation Engineer (up to $150/hr depending on internal evaluation and location, at least 20 hours a week for up to 2 weeks; read 6 November 2026) lists an AI interview of about 25 minutes, then a resume and application review, then an offer.

One business analyst post (Turkish language) lists about 80 to 90 minutes in total: an automated analytical challenge of about 30 minutes, then an English business writing test of about 30 minutes and a language proficiency test of about 20 minutes.

Coding posts often list interviews instead of a quiz. Senior Software Engineer (C#, LLM Evaluation and Repository Validation), for example, lists two rounds: a 60-minute technical interview and a 30-minute technical and cultural discussion.

It depends on your project. In the Turing flow your contract, invoices and payments are under Workspace on work.turing.com; in the Deel flow your contract, payslips and payments are in Deel. People engaged through a vendor or one of Turing's partners get their contract and pay from that company.

A valid, unexpired, physical passport or driver's license (Nigerian users may also use a physical NIN card). Digital IDs, voter or tax cards and green cards are not accepted. After a second failed attempt your case goes to a manual review that usually takes 1 to 2 business days.
