How hiring works
- Apply to a project on CloudFactory's job board on Workable. Each post is for one country and gives the hours and the length of the project.
- Some posts start with a short eligibility questionnaire. For voice projects, shortlisted people send about 1 minute of raw, unprocessed recordings.
- If CloudFactory selects you, you read and sign the project terms. Voice contributors give perpetual, irrevocable rights to their recordings.
- CloudFactory confirms your hours and weekly commitment before the work starts. All contact is by email, so check your spam folder.

Good

- Glassdoor reviewers give culture and work-life balance 4.0 of 5, and many praise the flexible hours and remote work.
Watch out for
- Pay is a common complaint. Glassdoor reviewers give compensation 3.2 of 5 and senior management 3.1 of 5.
- Most roles outside Nepal, Kenya, the Philippines, and Colombia are short, one-time projects, such as 4 weeks or a single 1 to 2 hour task.
- Trustpilot has no reviews of CloudFactory, so there is little public feedback from contractors in the US and Europe.
