Key findings

There is not enough data in this window to state findings.

Figure 1

Degrees mentioned, by kind of work

How many AI training roles ask for a PhD, a master's or a degree?

Kind of work	PhD	Master's	Bachelor's	No degree named	Roles read
All roles read	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a	0

Sample. 0 roles open on 31 Oct 2026 whose job board publishes a full description (), n/a of all open roles.

Each role counts once, at the highest degree its description mentions. A mention can be a requirement or a preference ('a PhD is a plus'): the figure counts both.

No row with any described roles is a small sample: the rows differ so much that each reads on its own from its first.

Figure 2

Professional credentials mentioned

How many roles ask for a medical, legal, financial or nursing credential?

Credential	Share of roles read	Main kind of work
A professional licence (any)	n/a	n/a
Medical degree (MD or DO)	n/a	n/a
Law degree or bar admission	n/a	n/a
Board certification	n/a	n/a
CPA or CFA	n/a	n/a
Nursing licence (RN, NP)	n/a	n/a

Sample. 0 roles open on 31 Oct 2026 whose job board publishes a full description (), n/a of all open roles.

A role can mention several credentials and counts once for each.

Figure 3

Years of experience asked for

How much experience do AI training roles ask for?

Experience stated	Roles	Share of roles stating years
1 to 2 years	0	n/a
3 to 4 years	0	n/a
5 to 9 years	0	n/a
10 years or more	0	n/a

Sample. 0 of the 0 roles read state a number of years of experience (n/a).

The first figure stated before 'years of experience' counts ('3+ years of clinical experience' is 3).

Figure 4

Weekly hours stated

How many hours a week do AI training roles expect?

Hours stated	Roles	Share of roles stating hours
Under 10 hours a week	0	n/a
10 to 19 hours	0	n/a
20 to 29 hours	0	n/a
30 to 39 hours	0	n/a
40 hours or more	0	n/a

Sample. 0 of the 0 roles read state weekly hours (n/a).

The lower figure of a stated range counts ('10 to 20 hours a week' is 10): it is the commitment a role asks for at least.

Figure 5

Selection steps mentioned

What does it take to get accepted?

Step	Roles mentioning it	Share of roles read
An assessment, test or trial task	0	n/a
An interview (with a person or unspecified)	0	n/a
An AI-led or recorded video interview	0	n/a
A background check	0	n/a
Identity verification	0	n/a

Sample. 0 roles open on 31 Oct 2026 whose job board publishes a full description (), n/a of all open roles.

An AI-led or recorded video interview is counted on its own line, not again as an interview.

Part-time	0	n/a
Full-time	0	n/a

Requirements by platform

How do the platforms that publish full descriptions differ in what they ask?

No data in this window.

Sample. 0 roles open on 31 Oct 2026 whose job board publishes a full description (), n/a of all open roles.

Medians need at least 5 roles stating the figure.

For labs, data vendors and researchers

Buy the data behind this report

The figures above are a summary. Behind them are records we collect ourselves, every day:

0 roles tracked, each with its history
Every role on 0 job boards, read since n/a (every hour since 18 Oct 2026): its pay and place, and the first and last day it was open.
0 apply clicks in 28 days
Which roles people actually apply to, by field, pay and kind of work. It happens on this site, so nobody else can count it.
39 lab and vendor hiring boards
The job boards of 25 AI labs and 14 human-data vendors, read every day: who is hiring for human data, and who is hiring to buy it.

Method and definitions

The public job boards of the AI training platforms this site tracks, read every hour. Full descriptions are read for the roles whose feed publishes them. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Mention: A description mentions a degree, credential, step or tool when it contains one of the documented patterns for it (whole words, case-insensitive). A mention may be a requirement or a preference.
Highest degree: Each role counts once, at the highest degree its description mentions: PhD, then master's, then bachelor's, then student.
Years and hours: The first figure before 'years of experience', and the lower figure of a stated weekly range ('10 to 20 hours a week' is 10).
Coverage: Only roles whose job board publishes a full description are read; each figure states how many that is.
Open role: A role listed by a given day and still in its platform's feed that day.
Kind of work: Each role is classified from its title and description into one of the twelve kinds of AI training work this site tracks, from AI evaluation and coding to multilingual and audio work. Every kind links to its own page.
Window: Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.

What this data cannot tell you

Platforms that recruit without a public job board are not counted. Several large ones invite workers to projects directly.
A listing is not a hire. Some platforms keep evergreen roles open for months, and some post one listing per language or country.
The platforms that publish full descriptions are expert networks, so these roles lean towards expert work.
A pattern can miss a requirement phrased in an unusual way; nothing is inferred beyond what the text says.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
