FAQ

FAQs About Hiring for Encord

Common questions about finding and managing annotators and reviewers for your Encord projects.

After you make a hire on OpenTrain, go to your Encord project, open Settings, and navigate to the Team tab. Click "Invite collaborators," enter their email address, and assign them a role such as Annotator, Reviewer, or Team Manager.

We have specialists for all Encord modalities and workflows, including image and video annotation, medical imaging (DICOM/NIfTI), 3D and LiDAR labeling, document and text annotation, and audio labeling. Just specify your modality and workflow requirements when you post your job.

Yes. Many of our annotators have experience with AI-assisted annotation tools, including reviewing and refining predictions from SAM 2, object tracking, and interpolation. They can work efficiently within your existing Encord workflows and QA stages.

No. Your data stays in Encord. OpenTrain handles hiring, communication, and payments only. We never access your projects or datasets.

OpenTrain charges a platform fee on top of what you pay your annotators and reviewers. 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, training, and management themselves. We run end-to-end operations inside your Encord project for large or ongoing labeling work.
