7 January 2021

Thank you all again for your applications! Over the past few days, we have been speaking with 600 aspiring annotators. However, there are about 20 applicants left with whom we hope to talk on Saturday. (Taking a short break on Friday!)

We are pleasantly delighted with the wide range of diverse backgrounds of potential team members. Engineering students (as expected!), designers, freelancers, teachers, hardworking homemakers, senior professionals (a little less expected but we're just as honored!) et al. And, we have decided to take 15 more team members than planned; new total would be 270 :-)

We are closing in on our selection. However, regrettably, we would have to fall back on our promise to share the results today. We would confirm our decisions after speaking with the remaining applicants on Saturday.

So, on Sunday 10 January, we would call all 270 selected team members individually. Please don't worry, if we can't reach you after two tries, we would send you a text message as well write an email requesting to contact us. If you still miss it, we would call again-and-again! Once a team member, we will treat you as a team member :-)

And, on the same day, we would also email all the other talented and high-spirited resources whom, unfortunately for us, we won't be able to invite in this round.

Our sincere regrets again for not being able to share the results today :-(

Hope you all have a healthy, happy weekend!

Best regards,
Your Team at Intelligent Machines
