Dear Prospective Revver(s) —
Thank you for applying to freelance with Rev. Nearly 10 years ago, I set out to build a platform for remote opportunity, unlike any other I had seen. Rev’s mission to create fulfilling work from home opportunities, , powered by AI, has driven this business to become what it is today. I’m so proud to say that, today, we have 50,000 skilled freelancers that do transcription, captioning, and subtitling projects for hundreds of thousands of our customers.
In light of the public health crisis, we have recently seen the number of applications to join our workforce triple. These are the current estimated wait times for new applicants to get started with Rev:
Captioning: 8-14 weeks
Transcription: 4-12 weeks
We realize the enormous need for more remote opportunities during this unprecedented time and we're doing our best to accommodate the heightened interest. That said, we do also have an obligation to maintain a healthy balance of freelancers and projects available on our platform. So, while we may not be able to accept you to freelance with Rev right away, please know that we are working diligently to identify ways we can continue to support the high demand for remote positions right now.
Once we receive your application, we will let you know via email whether or not you qualify to freelance with Rev. If you do, we will email you to begin the account registration process once spots open up so you can begin freelancing for Rev.com.
Thank you for your interest in joining our platform. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
Jason Chicola, Founder, Rev.com
