Choosing your account type

Section titled “Choosing your account type”

When you sign up, you select one of two account types:

  • Hire (Employer) — for companies and teams that need AI training talent. You get access to job posting, candidate management, AI screening, and milestone-based payments.
  • AI Trainer — for individuals and agencies who do AI training or data-labeling work. You get access to your AI trainer profile, the job board, proposal tools, and Stripe payouts.

Email verification

Section titled “Email verification”

After you submit the signup form, OpenTrain AI sends a 6-digit one-time code to your email address.

Check your inbox

Look for an email from OpenTrain AI. The code expires after a short window, so complete this step promptly.

Enter the code

On the verification screen, enter the 6-digit code. The platform verifies your email and sets up your account.

Proceed to your dashboard or onboarding

Employers are taken to the employer dashboard. AI trainers are taken to the onboarding wizard to complete their profile before they can apply to jobs.

Completing your profile

Section titled “Completing your profile”

Employers

Section titled “Employers”

After verification, you have access to the employer dashboard immediately. Your account setup is minimal:

  • Company name — add this in Settings so it appears on your job postings.
  • Billing information — required before you can hire and pay AI trainers. Add a payment method in Settings before or after posting your first job.

AI Trainers

Section titled “AI Trainers”

AI trainers complete a 9-step onboarding wizard before their profile goes live. The steps are:

  1. Resume upload — upload your general resume (required). You can optionally add a separate data labeling resume. The platform parses both to auto-fill subsequent steps.
  2. Professional details — country, city, phone number, LinkedIn URL.
  3. AI training experience — your experience level and the data types (image, video, text, audio, etc.) and label types (bounding box, NER, RLHF, etc.) you’ve worked with.
  4. Software and specializations — annotation tools and platforms you’ve used.
  5. Education and languages — degrees, institutions, and language proficiency levels.
  6. Work history — roles outside AI training.
  7. Rate and availability — your hourly rate and weekly availability (less than 20 hrs/week, 20+ hrs/week, or unknown).
  8. Profile title and industries — a short headline and industry verticals.
  9. Review and submit — confirm your details and make your profile active.

You can move between completed steps freely before submitting.

Agency onboarding

Section titled “Agency onboarding”

If you manage a team of AI trainers, you can onboard as an agency rather than as an individual AI trainer. The agency onboarding wizard collects:

  • Basic information — company name and phone number.
  • Website and logo.
  • Company expertise — experience level, description, industries, and location.
  • Skills and languages — annotation software, data types, label types, and English proficiency level.
  • Headcount and security — full-time employees, seat capacity, and security credentials.
  • Pricing — hourly rate, pay-per-label, and fixed-price options.
  • Labeling experience — a portfolio of past labeling projects.

Agency profiles are reviewed before going live on the platform.
