On every profile

You get the evidence, not just a badge

Each worker’s profile shows who checked what, and when. Document numbers stay hidden; the result and the date are always there.

  • Identity: provider, date and document type
  • Residency and sanctions: country, last screening, result
  • Languages: test score, proctored or not, interviewer, date
  • Track record: hours billed, QA score trend, client ratings

Vetting

Five gates before anyone bills an hour

The first three are automated and free for the candidate. The last two are checked by a person. After that, every new project starts with a 10-hour probation.

How vetting works
  1. Sign-up screen

    Residency self-certification, IP check, sanctions name screen, device and phone check.

  2. Native-language test

    Written in the language, timed, with register and dialect items and paste detection.

  3. Skill test

    Annotation, RLHF ranking or a domain quiz, scored automatically.

    Tier 1 · never sold
  4. ID check and proctored retest

    Document and liveness check, then a recorded retest on new items.

    Checked by a person
  5. Live interview

    15 minutes with a native interviewer, including a 5-minute work sample on a shared screen.

    Checked by a person Tier 2 · ready to hire

Probation: the first 10 billed hours on every new project are double-reviewed.

Tier 3: 200+ billed managed hours with a QA score of 92% or more.

Compliance

Answers for your legal team before they ask

Compliance details
Sanctions
Screened against OFAC SDN, EU and UK lists at sign-up and every month.
Residency
Proof of address and an IP check at every login. A VPN login from a sanctioned country suspends the account.
Personal data
Stored in Kazakhstan, as Kazakh law requires. Identity-document images are never stored.
Your data
Workers operate inside your tools, so your data never enters SilkTrain systems.

Pilot

Start with a paid two-week pilot

10 vetted workers in your tool, ready within 10 business days (5 for Russian). If a managed team’s weekly gold-set agreement falls below 90%, the hours below it aren’t billed.
