two ways to work with us
One platform. Built for two kinds of client.
Workforce at scale
You already run your own annotation stack. We supply the vetted, distributed workforce that operates it — recruited, screened, and managed, with performance you can see.
- Talent pool across 27+ countries
- Ranked matching, human-approved
- Invoiced or prepaid credit
- SLA & performance reporting
Full marketplace
No tooling of your own? Post a project, fund the escrow, and we run annotation end-to-end inside the platform — from task hosting to quality review.
- Prepaid project escrow
- In-platform task workspace
- Built-in quality review
- Fixed per-task pricing
the platform
Everything a marketplace needs, before you ask.
- MATCHING
Ranked matching, not guesswork
At 10,000 applicants, no one scrolls a list. Our matching layer surfaces the right people by skill, language, and past accuracy — the final call stays human.
- PAYOUTS
Global payouts, low threshold
One ledger, many countries. Annotators withdraw to local banks and mobile money the moment they clear a $10 minimum. Every cent reconciled daily.
- TRUST
Verified from day one
Identity verification and one-wallet-per-person checks run at signup, so the pool you're matching against is real — even during a 10k-in-a-week surge.
- ESCROW
Money that can't disappear
Clients fund before work begins. Annotators get paid on approved submissions. The platform sits in the middle so neither side has to trust the other blindly.
- OPERATIONS
One console for the whole pipeline
Post projects, screen applicants, assign, track progress, approve work, release pay, and read platform analytics — from a single admin surface.
- SCALE
Built for the surge
Stateless services, cached job feeds, async signup and verification. Designed to go from 2,000 to 10,000 annotators in a week without falling over.

questions
The things people ask first.
Still unsure how a piece fits together? The model is simple: verified people, matched to real work, paid through one accountable ledger.
How do annotators get paid?+
Approved work credits an in-platform wallet. Once a balance clears the $10 minimum, annotators request a withdrawal to a local bank account or mobile money, and we disburse globally through our payout rails.
Do clients pay annotators directly?+
No. Clients pay LingoCore — by invoice or prepaid balance for enterprise, or prepaid escrow for smaller projects. The platform releases funds to annotators as work is approved, so neither side carries the counterparty risk.
Is the screening automated?+
Screening is human-led. A matching layer ranks and surfaces the strongest candidates so admins aren't reading thousands of profiles unaided — but a person makes every approval and assignment decision.
Where does the annotation actually happen?+
It depends on the client. Enterprise teams usually run their own tooling, and LingoCore supplies and manages the workforce. Smaller clients without tooling get an in-platform workspace to host and review tasks.
What about identity and fraud?+
Every annotator passes identity verification at signup, with one verified wallet per person. It keeps the pool genuine and protects payouts, even during rapid growth.
