Create a qualification test

What qualification tests are for

Use a qualification when your campaign needs a specific skill, such as careful labeling, a language, or following detailed rules. You build the test once, workers take it, and you decide who passed. Then you add it to a campaign as a requirement.

Each worker can take a qualification only once. You find all your tests under Qualifications in the dashboard menu.

Step 1: Qualification setup

Question types

For every question you choose what the worker should answer with: Text, Checkbox (several options can be right) or Radio (one option is right). Checkbox and Radio questions need at least one option.

Tip: For radio and checkbox questions, mark the correct answers. This shows up in your review and lets you turn on automatic approval.

Using a template instead of questions

Qualification templates are custom HTML forms that workers fill in directly. You create them in the Templates section with Create Template. Standard form fields (input, textarea, select, checkbox, radio) are captured when the worker submits.

Choose Custom Template as the Qualification Type and select a template. Placeholders are filled in campaigns only; in a qualification they are shown as written. A template can be graded automatically if you pick the right answers for its fields, otherwise you review every submission yourself.

Step 2: Worker criteria

• Workers Targeting: General Workforce or Worker Group.
• General Workforce: choose a region (International, Latin America, USA - Western, West Europe, East Europe, Asia and Africa), then include or exclude countries. At least one country must stay included.
• Qualification Positions: how many workers can pass. Rejected submissions don't use up a position.
• Minimal Worker Tasks Success Rate: 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100 percent.
• Worker Group: positions are set by the capacity of your group.
• Worker Qualification Bonus (optional): a reward of at least $0.01 for workers who pass. It is only available when the test is approved automatically or runs on an external source.

Costs

The Review and submit step shows an Estimated cost before you submit. The total is taken from your balance and reserved when you create the test.

Tip: A worker who passes receives 90% of the bonus amount you set.

Review and going live

Every qualification is reviewed by our team before it goes live. Clear, step-by-step instructions get approved fastest. Trusted requesters are approved automatically.

While a qualification is waiting for approval, no worker has seen it. If you delete it then, the reserved amount goes back to your balance. Once it is active you can use Pause qualification and Resume qualification.

Require it in a campaign

When you create a campaign, open the worker criteria step and pick your test under Required Qualification (Optional). Only active or completed qualifications are listed. Only workers who have passed it can work on that campaign.

Reviewing submissions

Open a qualification from the Qualifications page to see its submissions. For tests with manual review, every submission waits for you. Click Approve or Reject on each one.

To approve every pending submission at once, use Approve all. This can't be undone. You can also send an extra bonus to all approved workers with Give bonus to all approved.

Important: You can't approve more workers than you have positions. When a submission with a bonus is rejected, the reserved bonus returns to your balance.
