Qualifications
For entry-level data annotator roles, candidates with 0–1 years of experience or even freshers are considered, as iMerit invests in training new recruits. Candidates should be tech-savvy with a passion for technology and AI, have strong attention to detail for accurately labeling data, and possess good communication skills.
