Fellas, I strongly suggest: start working on a plan B. Instead of sitting and moping around, spend that same time learning a high-value skill. I know this job pays really well. I know how important it is to you. But some of us are in a situation where if we don't get this job, we will be relegated to average-paying jobs. Just imagine how nice it would be if we had several options to have jobs as high-paying as this! That would be great, wouldn't it? And the way I am achieving that is by learning a high-value skill. I am investing time to learn either cybersecurity or AI/ML - my mentors will advise me on this. I suggest you guys do the same instead of waiting around. If you get this job, well and good. If you don't, you will get an equally high-paying job anyway with your upgraded skill set. Best of luck!

I have now been offered 2 verbal offers for xAI (not a tutor position) it is a in office position at Palo Alto. But yet its been 3 whole weeks since the last verbal offer and no Offer letter from HR... Just send me a rejection email already please.

Correct me if I am wrong, but here's what I have noticed so far:

1. A lot of video and image tutors have been dropped - seems that role has had it's quota met.

2. Those who have had their offer rescinded - they never got the first background checks email from Cisive. If Cisive has contacted you, then you are safe. If not, then red flag - XAI is having 2nd thoughts about your application and you will be dropped soon.

3. None of the language tutors have had their offer rescinced. Far as I know, there is heavy demand for language tutors at the moment - lots of projects.

Hey guys, I know a lot a people here are struggling with the whole hiring process, here is an update on my part.
So as far as I know, The only thing I was missing to get started was my background check report.
I sent them my info on April 28 and heard nothing until today, I called Cisive to ask and they told me my background check was completed yesterday. I don’t know if I was going to get an email confirmation or something, but I would recommend you calling to ask if you are in a situation similar to mine.
I think this is the last step I was missing so, if anybody is interested I can keep you posted on how everything advances

Did anybody here have their offer rescinded AFTER they submitted their background verification details?

EDIT: No, my offer has not been rescinded. Whoever got their offer rescinded, I have noticed 2 common things:

1. It's for either video or image tutor
2. They haven't received the Cisive email for background verification checks

Well. It happened! Start date was June 2nd and despite getting an onboarding letter I have now been sent a rejection letter. Image Tutor.

I think it’s a very real possibility after the spaceXai merger. My email informed me they had “shifted project priorities.”

Not to be a downer but if you got your offer recently within this month I imagine they entered a hiring freeze.

Thanks for your time all. ✌️

Thank you for your interest in this role. We regret to inform you that we have decided not to proceed with it at this time as our project priorities have shifted. Nevertheless, your application and experience are impressive and we appreciate the time you gave to the process. Therefore, we will reach out to you in the coming weeks in the event that anything changes.

Did anyone receive onboarding invite for this week?

My starting date was supposed to be 11th May, and I completed the remote setup on 8th May. After completing it, I received an email stating that I would get another email from Cisive for the background check. However, I still have not heard anything back yet.

Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?

People who did the Grok video introduction round on 11 May, please reply here if you receive an offer this week. Would be helpful to know if they’ve started rolling them out.

i seen people getting recruited by xAI through GitHub/LinkedIn and I’m curious where you actually find their open roles. do they mostly hire through recruiters, or are there good places to track openings and apply directly?

any advice is appreciated.

I completed the recorded interview on grok recruiter on April 23rd and I haven't received a response yet. Is this normal?

Hey all!

Wanted to see if anyone received the pushed back email after their bg check was fully cleared? (Received + copy of report)

It’s a BCC email, so I’m assuming it’s a mass/general email and I was still under.

Start date 5/19

Any insights are appreciated!

Anyone here completed the Grok/xAI recruiter video recording on Monday (May 11) and already heard back? If so, what language and country? That really helps to understand the timeline and be hopeful or not.

Hello, everybody. I see quite a few of us are worried about not hearing back from XAI soon. My cousin had an interesting view on this:

Their on-boarding, background checks, all the 3rd party company services they are employing - it all costs them money and they don't go through all this trouble to make you sit around and do nothing. You are an investment and they wanty ROI. So you will hear from them soon, you will get to work.

Meanwhile, have faith, hustlers, just wanted to share something positive to motivate you. You should hear from them soon.

If any of you have any success stories - positive stories about you getting hired and starting work , do tell us

Anyone else get the onboarding invite today for 5/19? My cisive background cleared this week after 6 weeks. The invite is only for 1 hour of onboarding. Is that it?

So after almost one month of process I joined xai as a tutor today and completed my onboarding and started doing tasks. Made lots of errors i don't know if that is common. So many things to take care of and it's not an easy money job. I have to talk on the topic and I have to come up with the idea. Think you have to ask grok random questions for 8 hours. How much curious I can be?🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 If anyone already working please give me your tips.

My status currently: Got offer letter, background checks in progress. but...

As the saying goes - many a slip between cup and the lip. Nothing is certain until I get onboarded and start working.

Now the question is: In case I don't make it through to XAI, what other good legit company can I apply to? Other than XAI, I find Turing to be legit.

Anyone had experiences with companies like:

-Outlier
-Appen
-Telus
-DataAnnotation.tech
-Mercor
-Alignerr
-Innodata
-Handshake

Any others I missed?

Edit: Outlier seems legit, but they pay a measly $5.5 per hour :-(

I did the video Interview a few days ago for an audio editing position. I also did an interview for the tutor position, but I kinda messed that up as I thought it was for the audio editing position. I got the invite to do the recorded interview after completing my audio editing test and just assumed it was for that. I later learned that the first one was for the tutor roll. Anyway, I did the second one for the editing roll a few days ago and I am wondering how long it is normal to wait? I saw an email that had where you could send questions. Is it worth following up? I don't want to be annoying and I assume the email is.managed by AI anyway. I feel like I did well on the audio editing test. Do you guys think I have a decent chance? I am definitely qualified
