Careers

Academic work, paid properly, with your name on the file.

You will not bid against strangers, undercut anyone, or accept a rate set by an auction. Briefs are offered to you at a fixed fee with the scope already read and clarified by a manager — you either take it or you do not.

The bar is high and the acceptance rate is roughly one in sixteen. That is the point: the people who clear it are why we can promise a student a specialist rather than a generalist with a search engine.

What is different about working here.

Most of these are complaints we heard from specialists who had worked on marketplaces, turned into policy.

PAY

A fixed fee per brief, agreed before you start

Never per word, never an auction, never revised downward after delivery. Rush and specialist-field briefs carry a premium, and the fee is stated in the offer.

TERMS

Paid within seven days of QA sign-off

Not thirty days, not on student payment, not held against a future dispute. Bank transfer or Wise, in your currency.

SCOPE

The brief is read and clarified before it reaches you

A manager has already chased the rubric, the referencing guide and the word count. You are not negotiating scope with a panicking student at midnight.

WORKLOAD

Decline anything, without a penalty

No acceptance quota, no ranking hit for saying no, no algorithm punishing you for a quiet fortnight. Take the briefs that suit your field and your week.

SUPPORT

Revisions come with a written scope

A manager decides whether a request is in scope, and tells the student so. Out-of-scope work is re-quoted and paid — you never absorb it for free.

RESOURCES

Real database access, paid by us

Journals, law reports and standards, so you are never assembling citations from abstracts. Fabricated references are the one failure we treat as terminal.

Hiring process

Five stages, none of them unpaid.

The subject test is a real timed task marked blind by two academics in your field. It is not a free assignment for a paying student, and we will not use it.

Probation briefs are paid at your full rate from the first one. Being new means more review, not less money.

DAY 1Application. CV, degree certificates and the fields you want to work in. Ten minutes, no cover letter.
DAY 2–5Credential verification. We contact the awarding institution directly. About 62% of applications end here.
DAY 5–7Subject test. A timed task in your field, marked blind by two reviewers. Never used for a client, never resold.
DAY 8–9Conversation with a manager. Thirty minutes on how you work, what you will not take on, and what a rubric means to you.
FIRST 5Probation briefs. Reviewed line by line before release, paid at your full rate. Clear them and you are on the roster.

What ends a working relationship here.

Stated before you apply rather than in a handbook you find later. Three of these are immediate and not appealable.

IMMEDIATE

Fabricated or unverifiable citations

A reference that does not exist, or a pinpoint that does not say what you claimed. No warning, no second instance.

IMMEDIATE

Reused or resold material

Including your own earlier work for another student. Every brief is written once, for one person.

IMMEDIATE

Contacting a student directly

Work goes through the manager. Their confidentiality depends on that, and so does yours.

AFTER REVIEW

A pattern of missed rubric criteria

One miss is a conversation and a revision. A pattern means the field is not yours, and we will say so.

Apply

Ten minutes. No cover letter.

We read the qualification and the fields you name, then verify. A covering letter tells us nothing a subject test will not tell us better, so we do not ask for one.

Every application gets a written answer, including the rejections.

Applicant FAQ

What people ask before applying.

Including the one about whether this is ethical work to do, which we answer rather than deflect.

Is this ethical work to do?

You should decide that for yourself rather than have us decide it for you. What we can tell you is what we actually produce: model answers, research and worked solutions for reference and revision, with the integrity position stated plainly to every student rather than hidden. We refuse examinations, proctored tests and anything requiring a student’s login, and we declined 1,940 briefs last year on those grounds. Some academics will still consider the whole category unacceptable. If you are one of them, do not apply — that is a coherent position and we would rather not argue you out of it.

How much can I realistically earn?

A specialist taking three to eight briefs a month typically bills between $150 and $700 monthly, depending on field, level and deadline pressure. Law, finance and machine-learning briefs pay at the top of the range; short undergraduate coursework at the bottom. Nobody here makes a full-time living on specialist work alone, and we will not pretend otherwise in a recruitment ad.

Is the subject test paid?

The test itself is unpaid, and it is the only unpaid stage. It is a synthetic task written by us, marked blind by two academics, and never delivered to a paying student or resold — if a service asks you to complete a real client assignment as a test, that is free labour and you should walk away.

Why do you verify credentials with the institution?

Because a text field claiming a PhD is not a credential, and because fabricated citations are almost always the work of someone writing outside their field. About 62% of applications end at verification. It is slow, it costs us applicants, and it is the single reason we can tell a student who is writing for them.

Do I have to accept briefs offered to me?

No, and declining carries no penalty of any kind — no quota, no ranking effect, no reduced offers afterwards. Take what suits your field and your week. The only thing we ask is that you decline quickly, so the manager can place it elsewhere in time.

What if a student asks for something outside the brief?

It goes to the manager, not to you. They decide whether it is in scope, tell the student in writing, and re-quote it as new work if it is not. You are paid for out-of-scope work or you do not do it — absorbing it silently is the marketplace habit we built this structure to remove.

Can I write in more than one field?

Yes, if you can verify a qualification in each and pass the subject test for each. We would rather have you excellent in one field than adequate in four, and the vetting is deliberately structured to make breadth expensive to claim.

What happens if I make a mistake?

Quality assurance catches most things before the student sees them, which is what it is for. A missed rubric criterion is a conversation, a revision, and a paid fix. A pattern of them means the field is not yours, and a manager will tell you that directly rather than quietly stopping the offers.

Ten minutes, and a written answer either way.

No cover letter, no unpaid trial on a real student’s work, and a reason if we say no.
