About AI Gig Radar

Hi, I'm Daichi Kishida, Remote AI Talent Connector. I run this site on my own, and I'm not a recruiter for, or employed by, any platform on it: I write about them and share referral links.

I got into AI training gig platforms from the referral side: I refer people to Mercor and similar platforms, and I quickly learned that sending someone to a listing that closed yesterday is the fastest way to lose their trust. So I started tracking the listings myself. Today that's a database of 770+ Mercor listings (559 of them live as of Sep 13, 2026 (UTC)) that I re-check on a rolling basis, and the "Live this week" section on the front page comes straight out of it.

What's here

• Reviews of the platforms, written from what I actually see in the data, not from press releases
• Comparisons, so you can pick one (or two) without reading ten blogs
• Interview guides for the AI screening steps that trip people up
• Eligibility notes, because "global" rarely means global
• A weekly digest of listings I opened and checked by hand

How I check listings

Every listing in the digest was opened on the platform itself before it went up. Pay is taken from the listing page, not from a catalog or someone else's blog. Region requirements are what the listing says. The date next to each entry is the day I last saw it live. Listings close fast, so if one is dead by the time you get there, tell me and I'll pull it.

Independence and money

I'm not employed by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any platform I write about. The site is funded by referral links: if you sign up through one and get paid for work, Mercor pays me a share of what you earn (20%, up to a cap) from its own side. Your pay doesn't change.

Mercor links on this site are my referral links. If you sign up through one, Mercor may ask whether Daichi Kishida referred you. If you found the listing here, that's me and yes is accurate. It doesn't change your pay or your application. Already have a Mercor account? Then this doesn't apply to you. More in the disclosure.

I never ask for money, passwords, or your Mercor login, and any message from me links back to this site. If someone claiming to be me asks for those, it isn't me.

Contact

Questions before you apply, a dead link, a listing I got wrong: message me on LinkedIn or join the Discord. I read everything, though I can't promise a fast reply.
