Mercor pays up to $150/hr for Word document work — open across Africa. OpenTrain wants audio engineers at $95/hr. And Cohere is paying Chinese speakers $30/hr to judge what its AI gets right.
Hi there,
Two things stood out this week.
First, the best-paid work isn't labeling. Mercor is paying $60–150/hr for people who can rebuild complex Word documents, and OpenTrain wants audio engineers at $40–95/hr. The premium is on real production skill, not clicks.
Second, this week is built for our audience. Mercor is hiring directly across Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana and Nigeria, and datalens wants native African-language speakers — no tech background needed. If you speak an African language, companies want you this week, alongside Japanese, Swedish, Mandarin, Cantonese, German, Basque and Galician roles.
Here are the roles that stood out most:
