What the work involves: Identifying willing, eligible participants matching the demographic criteria below (age band, gender, region/ethnicity). Briefing each participant on the project requirements, consent terms, and submission process (we provide all materials, consent forms, and the technical checklist). Coordinating participant submissions and acting as the point of contact to ensure each submission is complete before it goes to our QC team. Tracking your sourced participants against our requirement list so we can verify and approve completed sets. Eligible participant locations (any of the below): South Asia: India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh East Asia: Taiwan, Japan, South Korea Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, Timor-Leste Middle East / West Asia: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Georgia, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, Armenia, Azerbaijan Sub-Saharan Africa: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Angola, Cameroon, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo African American / Afro-Caribbean: Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Belize, Guyana, Suriname Caucasian / European: United States, Germany, Poland Hispanic / Latino: Colombia, Mexico, Spain Central Asian: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan Participant requirements: Adults (18+) residing in or originating from one of the above countries Roughly even split needed across age bands 18-30, 30-50, and 50+, and across genders Willing to sign our consent form and submit photos per our documented quality standards Able to provide a complete, compliant 35-image set (we'll share the full spec) Payment structure: This is a fixed-price contract paid in milestones. Each milestone covers a completed, QC-approved batch of 50 participant submissions: Milestone value: $150 per batch of 50 approved participant submissions Milestones are released once our QC team has reviewed and approved the batch (not on submission alone) Milestones are added incrementally as work progresses — never more than one batch outstanding at a time Additional milestones added as you source more approved batches What we provide: Full participant requirements doc, consent form template, technical photo checklist, and a QC review process to confirm each batch before milestone release. Ideal freelancer: Someone with an existing network or strong ability to recruit across one or more of these regions, clear communicator, comfortable explaining consent/data-use terms to participants, organized enough to track submissions against requirements. One practical flag: with ~37 countries in one post, freelancers applying from anywhere outside your real target gaps will assume they're eligible. If you're trying to fill specific shortfalls (e.g., you already have enough Indian submissions but need more Central Asian ones), you'll get a flood of irrelevant applications and waste review time. Worth telling me which regions you actually need to prioritize right now so I can either reorder the list or flag that in the post — otherwise this is ready to go as-is.You said: We didnt breakdown what exactly the job will be.We didnt breakdown what exactly the job will be.12:07 PMClaude responded: Fair — right now it says "we'll share the full spec" but never actually tells the freelancer what the work is.Architected detailed deliverables breakdown for job specificationsArchitected detailed deliverables breakdown for job specificationsFair — right now it says "we'll share the full spec" but never actually tells the freelancer what the work is.
