Which AI Training Platforms Hire in Your Country
Most AI training platforms are far more restricted than their marketing suggests. This is what 1,169 live listings across five platforms actually say about who can apply. Updated 29 September 2026.
The short answer
The column that matters is how many roles are locked to the United States. A platform can technically accept 50 countries while almost every actual listing is US only.
| Platform | Live roles | US-only roles | Typical countries per role | Who it is realistically for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| micro1 | 420 | 21 (5%) | 58 | The genuinely global one. Not a single role is US only. |
| Mercor | 388 | 96 (24%) | 1 | Three quarters of its roles are United States only. |
| Turing | 319 | 24 (7%) | 1 | Every live role is United States only. |
| Terac | 33 | 29 (87%) | 1 | Almost entirely United States, plus a few UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand studies. |
| Handshake | 9 | 9 (100%) | 1 | Every live role is United States only. |
The headline: micro1 has zero United States only roles and a typical listing open in 58 countries. Every other platform on this board is the reverse. If you are outside the United States, micro1 is where your realistic options are.
Why the United States sees so much more
Every platform on this board hires in the United States, so US applicants see the full catalogue: micro1 417, Mercor 109, Turing 38, Terac 33, Handshake 9. Outside the US the picture narrows sharply, and for most countries micro1 is the only platform still open. That is the single most useful thing to know before you spend an evening applying.
