Who we are, who pays, where your data goes.
Graders never see your name. We never collect gender, race, or ethnicity. Both of those are enforced by the database, not by a promise.
Who we are and who pays
Who we are
eyas has operated since 2024, placing contributors on paid work that we managed directly. This site is the application front door, not the start of the business.
The idea it is built on: careful judgment is a skill you can test for directly, without resumes as a proxy. An eyas is a young hawk still in training. Everyone on the platform starts as one.
We commit to publishing our pipeline numbers on the status page because silence is the loudest complaint against every platform in this category. Those figures start once applications come through this pipeline, and if our median decision time slips, you’ll see it there before we’ve written the excuse.
Who pays
AI Work is funded by AI labs and companies that need human evaluation of model output. Web Work is funded by marketplaces, directories, and research firms that need verification, QA, moderation, and language work.
Clients pay eyas per project; you’re paid per hour at the posted queue rate regardless of what any client pays us. Client names appear on a queue when the contract allows it, and never as a surprise: you always know what the work is before you take it.
What happens to your data
Five things we do with it.
Two tables, never joined for graders
Your name and email live in one table. Your assessment answers live in another, keyed by an anonymous applicant ID. The people who grade assessments work from views that contain the ID and the answers, and nothing that identifies you.
We never collect gender, race, or ethnicity
Not on the form, not as an optional field, not 'for diversity research'. The only demographic facts we hold are the two that projects require: your country and your languages.
Telemetry is disclosed, and this is it
During the assessment we record per-question timing, typing and paste activity, and window-focus changes. It exists to catch AI-assisted and copied answers, it's evaluated alongside your submission, and it isn't collected outside the assessment.
Decisions are logged, append-only
Every status change on your application is a new log entry with a timestamp, an actor, and a reason. History is never edited in place, so there's always an answer to 'what happened to my application?'
Deletion on request
Email hello@eyas.work from your application address and we delete your identifying data within 30 days. Anonymized assessment answers may be retained for quality calibration; they can't be traced back to you.
