Browsing and applying to jobs
Read this when you're looking for open roles on SME Careers and want to know what happens when you apply.
Finding jobs
The Jobs page lists all currently open roles. You don't need an account to browse — anyone can view the listings. Once you're signed in, your Dashboard shows the same open roles under Roles Matching Your Profile.
- Use the search box ("Search roles, skills...") to filter by role name or skill, and the country filter (All countries) to show roles open in a particular country.
- Each listing shows the role title, the pay rate where one is specified (some listings show "Rate not specified"), and flags for the countries the role is open in.
Rates are shown as a range, such as $25 - $40/hr, or as Up to $40/hr. They're shown in the currency of each posting, so not every role is paid in US dollars, and the suffix tells you how the role is paid: /hr (hourly), /mo (monthly), or /item (per completed item). Pay rates can be specific to your country: when you're signed in, a listing shows the rate for your country where the role has one, so the figure you see is the one relevant to you.
Open a job to see its full description, key responsibilities, requirements, employment type, and location before applying. If a role has different rates in different countries, use Select your country to see local pay rates. in the job details. The job details also show the interview language for the role, which can depend on your country, so you know which language your AI interview will be conducted in.
Applying to a job
When you apply to a job:
- If you're not signed in yet, you'll be taken through sign-up (or sign-in) first, and your chosen job stays attached to your application.
- If you haven't completed the data trainer application form yet, you'll complete that first — see Applying as a data trainer.
- Once you have a profile, applying to a job creates an application, which you can track on your Applications page.
Most roles use an AI interview as the first assessment step. After applying, your application shows the status Interview pending with a Take Interview button. You take the interview online, at a time that suits you, using your interview link.
A few things to know
- One application per job. You can apply to multiple different jobs, but only once to each.
- Interview attempts are limited. You take the interview once, and if you don't pass the first time you may be offered a single retake. See Interview results and retakes.
- Jobs can close. If a job is paused or closed after you apply, you'll see "This job is no longer available" and can't take further action on it. Your profile stays active for other roles.
Tracking your applications
The Applications page shows every job you've applied to, its current status, and the next action available to you (such as taking or retaking the interview). See Understanding your application status for what each status means.
What happens next
Take the AI interview for your application. It's the main assessment step, and your application can't progress until it's done.
