[Hiring] Content Quality Reviewer @Lokal App

Role Description

GyanTV creates short video lessons (2–5 minutes) for UPSC and State PSC aspirants. We are building a network of freelance reviewers to watch these videos and tell us two things: Is the content factually correct? And will a real aspirant actually understand it?

What You Will Do

• Watch assigned videos (2–5 min each) and fill a structured review scorecard.
• Fact-check key graphics and claims against standard sources (NCERTs, PIB, official reports, the Constitution, etc.).
• Flag outdated information, schemes renamed, data revised, amendments passed.
• Rate comprehension quality:
  • Is the explanation clear for a first-time learner?
  • Is pacing right?
  • Are terms explained before use?
• Note specific timestamps when you find an issue and report.
• Complete each scorecard within 24 hours of assignment.

Qualifications

• Currently preparing for UPSC CSE or any State PSC exam OR have done so in the last 3 years.
• Preferred: Cleared UPSC/State PSC Prelims.
• Strong on GS fundamentals: History, Polity, Geography, Economy, Environment.
• Can tell the difference between a factual error and a framing choice.
• Comfortable writing structured, specific feedback (not just 'this was confusing').
• Access to a smartphone or laptop and reliable internet.
• Expert level proficiency in Hindi and English. Knowing one of the South Languages is a bonus.

Requirements

• Send us a short note (under 150 words) telling us:
  • Which exam you are preparing for / have prepared for.
  • Your strongest subjects.
  • One example of a factual error or confusing explanation you have encountered in study content.
• Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a paid calibration test (5 sample videos, ~1.5 hours).

Benefits

• Weekly UPI/bank transfer payments.
• Maintain a simple tracker (Google Sheet is fine at small scale) — video ID, reviewer ID, status, score, payout.

HR Note - Hiring & Onboarding Process

    • Referral: Ask early reviewers to refer peers.
• Screening (Before Paid Work)
  • Step 1 — Application filter (automated):
    • Must have written Prelims of UPSC or any State PSC.
    • Written note must demonstrate specific subject knowledge.
    • Reject if the example of 'factual error or confusing content' they provide is itself factually wrong.
  • Step 2 — Calibration test (paid, ₹150 flat):
    • Send 5 pre-scored videos.
    • Score agreement threshold: flag at least 80% of known factual issues.
    • Pass: onboard. Fail: do not proceed. No second attempts.

  • Accuracy bonus gate: Reviewers who maintain >85% agreement on test videos qualify for the accuracy bonus tier.
  • Exit: If a reviewer misses 3 test-video thresholds in a month, remove from active pool.
• Important Guardrails
  • Bias control: The rubric must separate 'factually incorrect' from 'I disagree with this interpretation'.
  • Conflicts of interest: Assign topics where bias risk is lower.
  • NDA / Confidentiality: Reviewers sign a basic NDA covering unreleased video content.
• Scale Milestones
  • Month 1: 10–15 reviewers, ~100 videos reviewed.
  • Month 2–3: Expand to 30–40 reviewers.
  • Month 4+: Consider subject-specialised pools as volume scales.
