The role:
Casper Raters are a key part of our mission to create a world served by exceptional professionals by bringing an analytical and unbiased approach to rating the test responses of our applicants.

- Assessing applicant responses based on the virtual onboarding amp; training provided, and participating in on-going refresher training
- Providing feedback to help us improve our tests, platforms, and content
Requirements - what will help you in the role:
- An empathetic and analytical mindset
- A high level of comfort working with technology
- A curious and detail-oriented approach to suggest areas of improvement and spot potential issues with the platform
- A strong alignment with our company Mission and Values
Raters must reside in the country they are rating responses for (i.e., Australia) and have knowledge and experience of the culture in the country - we welcome applicants from all walks of life in an effort to continue to build a diverse group of Raters!
Raters must also provide their own desktop / laptop computer in order to be able to complete their work as a Rater from the online platform.
Benefits:
This is a casual contractor / hobby position and we hire periodically on an as-needed basis. The rate of pay is $0.65/rating, with periodic opportunity to participate in rating studies.
Raters typically make between $20-25/hour, when test responses are available to rate. The schedule and cadence of the Casper tests changes throughout the year. Due to the casual nature of the work, we cannot guarantee a minimum amount of work, but post testing schedules on a quarterly basis so that each Rater knows when work will be available and can check in to rate at their own pace in the comfort of their own home!
