One sign-up. One employer paying you.
From the moment you click Apply to the moment your first OBG payout clears, here's the full path.
Apply with Google
No CV upload, no passwords. Sign in with Google in two clicks and a 6-minute questionnaire builds your expert profile.
Pass our assessments
Two short verifications in fields you select — designed to be respectful of your time and rigorous enough that we never ask you to retake them.
Set your fields & rate floor
Tell us which fields you accept work in and the minimum hourly rate you'll consider. The matcher only offers briefs that clear both.
Accept & get paid
Open your dashboard. Curated OBG briefs appear — only ones that beat your floor rate and fit your weekly capacity. Accept, deliver, get paid by us every Friday.
Why we send this brief to you
OBG's matcher considers 14 signals to decide which of our open briefs lands in your queue. The big ones:
Verified credentials
Degrees, certifications, publications, GitHub or portfolio link. We translate them into the eligibility tiers our internal rubric grades against.
Languages & locales
Native, fluent, professional, conversational — paired with the locale codes our briefs actually require.
Rate expectations
You set per-category floors. We never surface a brief below them — even when we're short on headcount for a category.
Weekly capacity
Tell us 10 hours or 40 — we cap your weekly briefs accordingly so you never get awarded more than you can deliver.
Quality scores
Strong reviewer ratings unlock higher-paying tiers on our roster. We offer those briefs first when your scores qualify.
Time zone & availability
Live calibration briefs go to experts who are awake — async batches go to whoever has slots open today.
Get paid where you already get paid
Weekly payout, your rails
Every Friday OBG pays your earned hours via ACH, Wise, or PayPal — whichever you set in your profile. No held funds, no surprise withholding, no chasing a third party.
Zero subscription
Joining OBG is free. The buyers who hire us to staff briefs pay us — never the expert who delivers them. You keep 100% of your hourly rate.
Transparent rate cards
Every offer shows the exact hourly or per-unit rate OBG will pay, plus available bonuses. Decide before you accept.
