FAQ

FAQs About Hiring for Your Custom Tool

Common questions about finding and managing talent for your custom data labeling or evaluation software.

Use whatever access method you already have in place. OpenTrain doesn't require integrations or access to your software. Once you've made your hires, add them to your tool the same way you would any new team member.

Our network includes specialists for computer vision, LLM training, evaluation, RLHF, prompt engineering, data annotation, QA review, and more. Just describe your requirements when you post your job.

Yes. Many of our AI Trainers and Data Labelers have worked across commercial tools, open-source platforms, and custom-built software. They're used to learning new interfaces and workflows quickly. Include your requirements in your job post and we'll match you with adaptable candidates.

No. Your data stays in your environment. OpenTrain handles hiring, communication, and payments only. We never access your custom tool or project data.

OpenTrain charges a platform fee on top of what you pay your talent. You set your own rates and pay only for completed work. No subscriptions or minimums.

Managed Service is for teams that need a dedicated workforce without handling recruiting, onboarding, and QA themselves. We manage end-to-end operations inside your custom tool for large or ongoing projects.
