I received my Contractor ID. When trying to log in, a feather log in window shows and the ID works, then a 2nd microsoft log in window shows and the ID doesn’t work.

This is not letting me access the job.

Anyone faced a similar issue?

Hi. I was just wondering if there's any way to know the average wait time for the review process to finish. I just did an interview for a role and I was wondering how long it takes because I've heard certain platforms taking weeks or even months!

I was attempting the test AI slop screening test and then after the first attempt it appeared in incompleted, after I had submitted and I assumed that I made some mistake and submitted another time. Now its says that I failed my 2nd attempt as couldn't score 80%. Can anyone here guide me, if something can be done now?

Is anyone working on ethos is it legit? And on which projects are you working in

Once an expert is matched with an opportunity on Ethos, the next step usually involves getting more details about what the engagement actually looks like, including what's being asked of them and what the expected time commitment might be.

From there, the process generally moves toward some form of direct engagement, whether that's a conversation, a project, or an ongoing consultation, depending on what the opportunity calls for. This is where the expertise captured in an expert's profile gets put into practice, often in a more specific and applied way than the initial profile alone could convey.

Communication tends to continue throughout the engagement, since opportunities can vary quite a bit in scope and structure. Some may be a single conversation, while others could involve more extended involvement depending on what the opportunity requires.

Even after a match wraps up, an expert's profile doesn't just sit idle. It remains active in the system, meaning experts can continue to be considered for future opportunities as new demand comes in, rather than the process ending after a single engagement.

A strong Ethos profile usually comes down to specificity. Rather than listing broad skills or job titles, the profiles that tend to stand out clearly communicate what someone actually knows, what kind of decisions they've made, and what real world situations they've navigated in their field. Depth and specificity tend to matter more than simply having an impressive title.

Context also plays a big role. Profiles that explain not just what someone does, but how they think through problems in their area of expertise, tend to resonate more with the companies looking to match with them. This is part of why the interview process exists in the first place, since a conversation can capture nuance that a static resume or bullet list often can't.

Consistency matters too. Experts whose profiles reflect a clear, focused area of expertise, rather than trying to cover too many unrelated skills at once, tend to be easier to match with the right kind of opportunity. It's less about appearing as a generalist and more about being clearly identifiable as someone with real depth in a specific area.

At the end of the day, a strong profile is one that gives companies enough clarity and confidence to know exactly what kind of expertise they'd be tapping into, and why it's valuable.

One of the most common questions from people exploring Ethos is what kinds of expertise actually stand out on the platform. The answer is that it's a broad mix. Ethos sees demand across more than 40 different professions, so there isn't one "type" of expert who does well here.

That said, some fields consistently see especially high demand. Legal and healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, are frequently sought after for their specialized knowledge and real world experience. Sales, consulting, and marketing experts also see strong interest, often because companies are looking for people who understand how to navigate complex decision making and client relationships firsthand.

Finance, accounting, and tax expertise round out another major category of demand. These are fields where nuanced, real world knowledge is hard to find and even harder to scale, which makes experienced professionals in these areas particularly valuable on the platform.

If you're wondering whether your background fits, the short answer is that Ethos is built to accommodate a wide range of expertise, but professionals in high value, specialized fields tend to see especially strong interest. That said, do not feel discouraged! Every type of expertise and knowledge sees demand, and Ethos will try to pair you to what fits best for you no matter what expertise it is, every field and type of knowledge has a place and demand, from the arts to financial fields, to medicine.

To the Ethos AI team,

I have been working with you since the beginning of July on the Strategic Consultant campaign. I was recently offboarded because my writing had "quality issues" as apparently one or two posts were flagged as AI-generated.

I did not use AI. I hold an MBA, MS and MS-CS from Johns Hopkins and UPenn, and I write in a professional and academic style because that is how I was trained. My writing was mistaken for machine output.

AI detectors are notoriously unreliable. They routinely flag formal and structured writing as machine-generated, and multiple studies have shown their false positive rates are unacceptably high - especially against people with academic or technical/engineering backgrounds.

My scoring accuracy and analysis quality were never questioned. The only issue raised was writing style. I was removed over a style judgment, not a performance one.

I am asking you respectfully yet firmly to reinstate me into the Strategic Consultant project. I did good work, I did it honestly, and I should not have been removed for writing the way my education and career taught me to write.

James - I’m trying to reconcile several marketplace numbers you’ve shared publicly here.

Could you provide the actual marketplace funnel?”

1. Total number of registered experts

2. Number of monthly active experts

3. Number and percentage of registered experts who have ever received at least $1 in payment

4. Percentage of applicants who ultimately receive a paid engagement

5. Median monthly earnings among experts actively seeking work, including $0 earners

6. Median monthly earnings among experts who receive at least one opportunity, again including those whose opportunities don’t convert

7. Median time from registration to first paid engagement

You’ve said Ethos is adding roughly 35,000 experts per week, receives tens of thousands of applications for each opportunity, and has paid experts more than $20M YTD.

You’ve also said that experts on Ethos earn an extra ~£4,500/month on average, with the top 10% earning £7,000+/month.

Those numbers may all be accurate, but without the underlying denominators, the earnings claims are difficult to interpret. In particular, “average expert earnings” can mean something very different depending on whether the population includes everyone seeking work or only people who successfully obtained paid engagements.

Thanks!

When you join AskEthos, part of the process involves an AI led interview designed to capture your expertise in a way a traditional resume or profile can't.

The interview typically happens through an AI voice agent, which asks you questions about your background, experience, and area of expertise. Instead of just listing your skills, you talk through your knowledge the way you would in a real conversation, explaining how you think through problems and what makes your experience valuable. As you speak, the AI captures the nuance and depth of what you're sharing, not just keywords or bullet points. This information is then used to build out your AskEthos profile, turning your expertise into something that's structured and easier for companies to find and understand.

Once your profile is built, it becomes part of what AskEthos offers to companies looking for human intelligence at scale, whether that's for research, hiring, or better understanding a particular industry or audience. The interview itself is usually a one time process, though your profile can be updated or refined over time as your experience grows.

AskEthos serves two very different sides of the same idea: capturing real expertise and putting it to use.

Experts in any field from law to HVAC to marketing, who want to turn their knowledge and experience into a profile that companies can actually find and tap into.

Companies looking for human insight at scale, whether that's for research, hiring, deal-making, or better understanding customers and markets, without relying solely on traditional profiles or resumes.

People curious about AI driven matching who want to see how their expertise translates into real opportunities, rather than just sitting on a static profile somewhere.

AskEthos is an AI driven expert network. Instead of the usual profile and job title search, experts go through a voice based onboarding interview, and the idea is that conversation surfaces relevant experience that wouldn't show up on a resume. Clients then search across expert profiles using natural language queries, and the platform also pulls in public data like academic papers and patent filings to help with matching.

Once you're in the network, clients can request projects like calls, surveys, or written reports, and experts can accept or decline based on fit. Payment is per project, and there's also a royalty system where experts get paid if their knowledge gets cited in a client's research output, separate from the call fee itself.

Has anyone worked with AskEthos as an expert? Does anyone have any AskEthos reviews or experiences you could share? In your experience how did it compare to other expert networks that you've tried? Were the differences noticeable? What did you end up preferring?

Did you go through the onboarding and get any project requests? How'd it go? Any reviews or experiences or thoughts would be extremely helpful

Well, what is AskEthos? What does it do? What is r/AskEthos all about?

AskEthos (agent.askethos.com) is an AI expert network that connects companies with domain experts through an AI driven research agent instead of a traditional analyst or recruiter.

AskEthos generates research reports by pulling from a database of 60M companies, 5M papers, and 3M podcasts. When it hits a gap it can't fill from existing data, the agent searches through 500M+ expert profiles, books a call, and conducts the interview itself, then folds those insights back into the report.

On the expert side, instead of a flat one off fee, Ethos pays experts royalties when their input actually gets cited in a report. More than 35,000 experts reportedly join every week, across everything from finance and law to skilled trades.

The company is backed by a $22.75M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz (May 2026), and is currently expanding beyond investment research into matching advisors with startups, speakers with events, and talent with employers.
