About this role
From the telus listing
The objective of this project is to collect a large and diverse dataset of current neutral selfies, head-pose captures, and historical facial images to support machine-learning research and facial recognition model training at TELUS. The focus is on capturing real-world variation across lighting, poses, expressions, accessories, environments, and aging to improve model accuracy and robustness. The collection includes: • Current Neutral Selfies – clean frontal selfies serving as high-quality identity references, with natural variation in appearance and surroundings. • Current Head-Pose Captures – selfies captured in assigned head directions to introduce pose variation. • Historical Images – older photos from participants’ galleries to capture natural aging and long-term appearance changes. To qualify for payment, you must submit a minimum of 20 valid images. The maximum payout is based on 24 accepted images. Due to the strict automated and manual Quality Control (QC) process, we strongly recommend submitting 30 images to help ensure that enough images remain valid after review Participants can earn a total of $13.20 USD upon successfully completing the project requirements.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote

Common questions
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Generalist work look like for a Face Deduplication Collection?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Face Deduplication Collection, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation and AI Training are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $13.2/task, a per-task rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
How does per-task pay translate to an hourly rate?
It doesn't directly, that's the catch. Each task has a listed price and an estimated completion time, but your actual effective rate depends on how fast you work. If a task is estimated at 20 minutes and pays $8, that is $24/hr for a fast worker and $12/hr for a slow one. Track your actual time on the first few tasks before treating the listed rate as your real hourly income.
