OpenTrain helps employers find, screen, hire, message, and pay AI trainers (data labelers). You can post a job, receive proposals from matched candidates, compare AI interview answers, hire directly, and manage the contract from the same employer workspace.

What employers can do

  • Post self-serve AI training and data-labeling jobs.
  • Let OpenTrain match the job to relevant AI trainers.
  • Require AI interview screening before proposals are submitted.
  • Review proposal details, screening answers, rates, and candidate profiles.
  • Message candidates before hiring.
  • Hire AI trainers and fund the first milestone.
  • Manage post-hire job messages, instructions, contracts, invoices, and payments.

​
How the workflow fits together

1

Post a job

Start from the employer dashboard and create a job in the guided wizard. You can paste a job description or upload a PDF, then review the structured job details before publishing.
2

OpenTrain matches and screens candidates

OpenTrain uses the job requirements to notify relevant AI trainers. For recruiting-configured jobs, candidates complete an AI interview before they submit a proposal.
3

Review proposals and AI interview answers

The job workspace shows proposals, interview scores, screening answers, rates, and candidate context so you can compare applicants faster than a manual spreadsheet review.
4

Message candidates

Use proposal messages for pre-hire questions. After hiring, use the job message thread for contract work and delivery coordination.
5

Hire AI trainers

Hiring creates the contract, funds the first milestone, and opens the post-hire job workspace for the AI trainer.
6

Manage milestones, invoices, and payments

Track funded milestones in the contract tab, approve completed work, and download invoices from reports.

​
Why this is easier than manual sourcing

Manual sourcing usually means posting in multiple places, collecting unstructured applications, chasing candidates for screening answers, and rebuilding status tracking in a spreadsheet. OpenTrain turns that into one workflow:
  • Job requirements are captured once in the posting wizard.
  • Candidates answer the same screening questions before you review them.
  • Proposal status, messages, hiring, milestones, and invoices stay tied to the job.
  • Folder screening lets you compare candidates across related jobs or client projects.
