I graduated 5 years ago. Should I use this?
Probably not. Handshake is designed for university students and 'early talent' (people within ~1-2 years of graduation). You will likely find better rates and faster approval on Outlier or Mercor if you are an experienced professional.
Is 'Handshake' the employer?
Technically, yes. For the specific 'AI Fellowship' roles, Handshake acts as the employer of record. This is different from the rest of the website, which is just a job board listing jobs for other companies.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
Is this an internship?
It depends. Handshake lists both standard internships and specific "AI Trainer" fellowships. Check the job description closely—if it mentions "1099" or "Contract," it is a freelance role, not a W-2 employment offer.
