I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Literably (Kansas City, KS) in Sep 2023
Interview
They prefer no contact because they receive too many applications, but rest assured after taking the 30-minute test, you will receive an email telling you that got the contractor job or not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There is no person to interview you. You will instead access a link to transcribe no more than 6 transcription exercises to be completed within 30 minutes.
No real interview; pass series of scoring tests. If they meet the company standards, you'll be sent your account information to start scoring. I received mine the same day I applied.

Question 1
Score 6 assessment recordings following provided instructions and phoneme chart.
It's test-based, so you can theoretically be hired without any experience. However, after the first page, none of the audio files would work for me unless I navigated away from the page and went back to it. Since it is timed, that is a huge problem. I emailed them to ask if it would affect my grade or if I could try to re-take it on a different computer, this was their response: "We know that our evaluation process is flawed and subjective, with many of the audio files being ambiguous, and this is something we are working to improve."
This translates to me as "we know there are problems with the site. We don't care. If you are one of the people that experiences problems that just means we don't need to grade your work at all, which makes the process easier for us." It is unprofessional and unethical. TL;DR: if an audio file won't load, just don't bother. It is a waste of your time.
