I filled in an online form and made it through the first selection. Next up is a series of videos to tell you about the Kibin editing process, and the first of three tests. It takes serious commitment on your part--you're supposed to edit a 12-page document. They give you nine hours to do so. Be forewarned that they don't tell you what they're looking for (their editing categories and guidelines are very vague. I suspect it begins to make sense after you've worked for them for a while, but obviously that's not any help at this stage..) so you kind of have to guess at what the priorities are. The next morning, I got an email saying they weren't going to move forward; that they were looking for specific things that I apparently didn't address in my test.
Kibin obviously can do its hiring process however it wants, however, I wonder why they feel the need to have you edit a 12-page document. Couldn't 4, or 6, or 8 have sufficed? That's a large chunk of my day taken up by a test.

If you are an experienced editor who does have self-respect and values your time, do not even think about wasting it by applying here. I sincerely regret it. My online application was accepted ... but then came the tests. Fair enough. But the first, to be edited in APA style, is 12 pages long and beyond dreadful. They give you nine hours to do it. Who in their right mind edits a horrific 12-page paper in APA style to earn *a chance* to take *two more tests* ... to make less than minimum wage working for them, based on the rates they state right here? It makes no sense whatsoever. They are polite enough, it is true, but you need to be living under a bridge to accept their crazy process and terms. A two-page or three-page test would tell them everything they needed to know. Run and do not look back.
