Additional Information
Application Process:
- Interested talent should submit a proposal. After receipt of your proposal, you may be contacted by a talent services representative for additional information.
- A program manager will then review your application. If they decide you qualify for the talent bench, you be placed on an "approved for hiring" list.
- You will receive an offer when there is work for your language. Languages with current or upcoming needs will be prioritized for the second review and onboarding. It may take months before you hear from us. Please wait patiently. We are hiring large teams, and it is impossible to respond to all messages from applicants.
- Once you have been onboarded, your contract will cover all potential projects. Your project manager will reach out to you whenever a project is available. The project details, timeline, and payment rate will be explained in the message, and you will be free to accept or decline the project.
- No Upwork fees will be deducted from your earnings, meaning you will receive the full payment amount.
If you have links to voice or video recordings of you speaking Austrian German, please list them in your proposal. Otherwise, please create a short 1-minute voice recording in Austrian German to submit with your proposal as a sample.
