Handshake AI, also described as the Handshake AI Fellowship and promoted through Handshake’s MOVE programme, pays subject-matter experts to train and evaluate large language models. Official pages describe the work as remote, part-time and asynchronous: writing domain-specific prompts, evaluating or comparing model answers, and correcting content. A Handshake partner FAQ, updated on 6 November 2026, says fellows typically work about 5–20 hours a week, projects last from two weeks to more than three months, and fellows are engaged as independent contractors. Pay is set per project and shown before you accept it. That FAQ gives a general hourly range of $30–$125 US; public listings we have read advertised ceilings from $17 to $150 an hour, depending on the role. Handshake’s help centre says payouts are made via Stripe, typically each week.
UK eligibility is mixed, and you should read the live listing before you apply. Handshake’s main Fellowship page, and the MOVE referral signup page, say you must be based in the United States and have a work authorisation Handshake can support. Its work-authorisation help article, updated on 28 September 2026, says participation for international fellows is currently invite-only. At the same time, Handshake publishes some public project pages that specifically recruit in the UK or the EU. The listings we include here are those UK-facing pages: a Chemistry Expert (UK) role that requires UK work authorisation, advertised at up to $65 US an hour, and a STEM PhD (EU) role that recruits doctoral students and graduates residing in the EU and the UK, advertised at up to $48 US an hour.
The apply buttons on Handshake AI pages on this site are referral links for the MOVE / Fellowship programme. Applying on Handshake directly is fine too. A referral does not change your pay or guarantee a project; Handshake says placement depends on project availability and your expertise.
