Search engines use complicated algorithms to determine the results you see. They are full of errors, so they need real humans to look at the results and judge them for quality, relevancy, and usefulness.

Some companies also interview you by phone. Without revealing too much I can tell you some of the good and the bad things workers in these positions have said about the work. I can also tell you what I like and dislike about it.

You get to work at home. The internet is full of false claims for stay-at-home jobs, but these are real positions that allow you to work in your pajamas if you want to. I love the second commute from bedroom to office in the morning.

You can work when you like. Some companies want you to work certain days, but usually you set your own hours and take days off whenever you want. I put in a couple hours when I feel like it and then get back to my writing. You can work a little or a lot. Also, you can work for 10 minutes on a task, log out for a break and then work 20 minutes later. I like to put in at least an hour at a time. Many search engine evaluators have said they like the pay.

You learn a lot about the world.

In the course of doing evaluations I am always discovering things that are new. Recently I learned about American Dingoes wild dogs in the south and how to create presentations for free online.

You can be fired for any reason. You have to pay your own taxes.

You can probably write off some computer-related supplies as business expenses, but you need to keep track of everything. You have to track your hours. Some workers complain about the slow and infrequent pay. Typically you work for the month, then you submit an invoice, and then you wait several weeks to get paid. The work is hard on the eyes. Staring at a computer screen can be tiring. I limit my sessions to no more than three hours to avoid the eye strain.

The work is irregular. Sometimes there will not be any work for you to do.

Are There Legitimate Google Work From Home Jobs?

At the moment there seems to be no shortage of tasks, but lack of work is a common complaint. This is not a full-time regular job. Here are a few companies that hire search engine evaluators.

Some of them also have other job offerings that allow you to work at home. But their complaints are almost always related to things they could foresee when they applied. I also recently read a post by a woman who has been very happy working for Leapforce, and she has had the position for four years. Have you done this work or do you want to?
