      Crowdsourcing Interview

      Oct 19, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Appen

      Interview

      They didn't get back to me. The learning process is way too long. It should be paid as well. Also, the website is too complicated; everything is very scattered. It is really bad if you are accustomed to a standard application process.

      Crowdsourcing Interview

      Aug 31, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Santa Cruz de Tenerife
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Appen (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I received an email saying "Appen Crowdsourcing: Pre-Screening Assessment" in which I was invited to do three tests (minimum) Technical, English US Spelling and a spelling test for each of the languages that I had listed under Qualifications. I have done about 5 tests so far and passed them, but I still have not heard anything back. It was yesterday, though, so it might be a little too soon. Everything is done through email and interaction with their website, no human contact and, frankly, this is just fine by me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The technical questions are easy and straightforward. One question (I don't remember what it asked exactly) is tricky but I think that is meant to see if you are able to find the information you need with a Google search, which you will. The US and UK spelling questions can be VERY tricky, this is because you can get a 0% only by writing, for example, "she is" rather than "she's”, so you better pay a lot of attention and write correctly the answers that are straight forward, because otherwise, you will risk failing even knowing the English language perfectly well. This didn’t make a lot of sense to me, because, even on a professional transcription, writing one thing over the other one would not have made any difference, it is not like writing “there” rather than “their”, for example. Nevertheless, those questions are there, and there is more than one of them, so try to guess what the speaker said as good as you can, I guess.
