When you submit a proposal, it goes into the employer’s review queue for that job. You’ll see it on the My Proposals tab in your AI Trainer dashboard with the status Pending.

​
What “Pending” means

The employer hasn’t made a decision yet. They may still be collecting proposals, shortlisting candidates, or waiting on AI screening answers from applicants. The proposal stays Pending until the employer takes one of these actions:
  • Accept — a contract is created and your status moves to Hired.
  • Decline — the proposal closes. You can apply to other jobs.
  • Message — the employer asks a question. You’ll see the message in the Proposals tab.
If the job closes without a decision, your proposal moves to Closed.

​
How long this takes

Review time is up to the employer. Some employers review proposals daily; others wait until they have a larger pool. Larger jobs and recruiting-configured jobs (where AI interview answers are required) tend to take longer to review.

​
What you can do

  • Make sure your profile is complete. A complete profile with specific labeling experience is reviewed more often.
  • Finish the AI interview if the job requires one. Proposals without a completed interview are typically skipped.
  • Keep your messages on the Proposals tab — that’s where the employer will reach you.
If a proposal has been Pending for an unusually long time and you’d like a hand looking into it, email support@opentrain.ai with the job link and a human on our team will pick it up.
