I’m considering applying for the Lionbridge position. Does anyone here know if it’s a good idea to mention I am currently with Leapforce ?
I’ve heard it is not a good idea to mention that you work for Leapforce. I’m not sure why but I’ve read articles where they will not hire you if you’re currently working for LF. I’d do a little more research before making that decision that may or may not hinder you. Good luck!
That is true. If you apply to Leapforce and you tell them that you worked for Lionbridge, LF will not hire you. Several of my family and friends have worked for one or the other. My sis got into LF because she stated that she did not work for Lionbridge, the only one who ‘fibbed’ when she applied for the other.
Does anyone know how long the wait process is once you apply with either of these companies?
Thanks for the feedback ….. this is a tough call !
Pat, when I applied with LF the whole process took about 3 weeks to a month.
Thanks Jen, it’s been over 2 weeks right now and I haven’t heard anything back as of yet. I submitted my app around 5/31 so hopefully will hear something soon.
this is the response I received from them on 6/8/10..has anyone else received this?
Thank you for accepting the Terms and Conditions of the Internet Search Consultant role. We would like to inform you that we have placed a temporary hold on scheduling future assessment dates. This is due to the changing requirements of the program.
We have placed your application on hold and will contact you as soon as scheduling for the assessment resumes.
***Please note, this does not mean your application is no longer being considered. There will however be a delay in moving forward with the recruitment process***
I received the exact same one yesterday. When did you apply RL?
I’m from LionBridge for 1 month only.
just answering Jen, i sent in my application to LionBridge roughly last year Nov, that’s when they opened up the applications…they only got back to me last month, asking me whether I am still interested and from there, the exam came and I finally got in.
Thanks Karen ! I did go ahead and apply with LB and got a response saying they’ve put my application on hold till new vacancies open up … or something to that effect. Goodluck with your work !
i have sent my application but i have not received any answer.
i wonder if someone has received answer

Could depend on which country you live in, as they hire Internet Assessors per location.
Finally got a response back after applying about a month ago. I have a phone interview next week

-> This is for LIONBRIDGE :
Horrible Co to work for.
You spend more HOURS doing Practice Tests and Logging on and Waiting for Work Online and Recording Results and TimeLogs (NONE of this You get Paid for) – than You are Actually PAID for. -Say Paid for 1-Hour for Every 3-Hours that You spend.
- They popped a 1 week of Practice Testing about every 2 months. You are Told NOT to do ANY WORK – and YOU get NO PAY for the Week that You insist that You Waste on these Tests !
They claim 30-Hours per Week, but You are Lucky to get 30-HOURS Per Month.
You need to Login Every Morning and Evening -to Check for Work (say 1/2 Hour per Login and hourly checking – morning plus evening).
Maybe 4 Halfdays of Work for first week of the Month, then maybe 1 or 2 Halfdays of work following weeks. At 2-4 Hours per Halfday.
Plus additional 1 Hour per day to Log Your times (also consider that the server often does not work -you may need to spend 2 hours logging-again-andagain or email).
- Calculate: which yields about
20-30 Hours PAY,
per 40-60 hours of actual work time,
per Month.
I currently work for Lionbridge, the above person may be on a different task than I am but I do not have that experience. It is a min of 10 hours MAX of 20 per week, and that is clearly defined. The work is plentiful and you work your own hours as you choose. There has only been one day in the 5 months I have worked there that there was no tasks available and it was a Sunday evening-there has always been work…If you are doing a poor job, I think they cut your available tasks and that makes sense- it is a serious company doing serious work.
I love it!
An if you are taking 1 hour to log in your time, you are taking WAY too long…seriously it is not that hard to add up your time and enter it on the website! It takes me like 5 minutes!
Michelle,
I know this may sound strange..I wish there was a way we could comunicate via email. I have some questions for you. I am almost hired. I am doing my paperwork now, testing included…
I will just check back at this site for your responses. Please let me know how things are. I have not taken the test yet so I hope it is passable.
It took so long to finally get the good news.
Thanks,
Lynn
Okay…. I just heard of Leapforce and Lionbride….
Does anybody know the difference between the two? Is there on preferred over the other?
Also, I’m not sure what a search engine researcher does… can someone explain this? I would like to think I am qualified but…. wouldn’t we all? Before I register, study and take an exam I was wondering if someone could supply some more info for me.
I would like to find a detailed description of exactly what this type of work involves. What EXACTLY is it that you do as a search engine researcher?
Any info would help
Thanks

Hi,
Am curious about Leapforce and really want an idea of what sort of compensation to expect. By no means am I thinking this will make me rich, but am wondering if it is worth going for? Is it more than minimum wage?
I have been unemployed for over a year and stumbled upon a Craigslist listing on it. I was already signing up, but decided to do some research. I have seen some bad reviews, but the ones here are fairly decent to good reviews of it.
Any response would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Martin
Has anyone ever heard of Workforcelogic? If so, is it a company like leapforce and lionbridge? Are there any other companies like these two? I started working for Leapforce in April of 09 and just got let go. They said a review of my work showed substandard quality but my last evaluation I received an above average score. Leapforce was contacted a few days ago by my state tax board saying I owed taxes and to deduct from my pay and for some reason I feel this may have something to do with my being let go. Any advice on any other evaluator or rater jobs would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
I am completing the application for lionbridge, and I have a couple of questions, if anyone can help i would appreciate it.
First : I am in Brazil and have a bank account here, but i would prefer to recieve any money i earned in US dollars in an internet account like moneybookers or e-money is this possible with Lionbridge ?
Second: What is the average time it takes from the time you complete the exam until your first job and then first payment?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Lionbridge:
Hate, hate, hate it! Well, hated.
Did not get paid. It’s a risky contract, the company has an endless incoming flow of contractors so your pay is at their mercy because from others postings and my own experience it seems they choose a certain percentage to NOT pay them. It is a rogue company, I am tired of advising people not to accept the contract and ALWAYS invariably some drones come along vouching vociferously for the company! I wonder who they are.
It’s a gamble.
