Hiring quality verdict.
Appen is the oldest and most global player in AI training data, with 1M+ crowd workers across 180 countries. Its scale is unmatched; its compensation rates for contractors are not. 2023-2025 restructuring reduced full-time headcount but maintained the crowd platform. Strategic pivot toward LLM training data and RLHF projects has updated the revenue mix; compensation for in-house RLHF and evaluation staff improved materially post-2024 restructuring but contractor rates remain below Surge and Mercor averages.
Appen by the numbers.

The Nordic Evaluation Premium: Stockholm AI Safety Evaluators Earn €46/hr as Kollektivavtal Rewrites the Trainer Economy
Stockholm's AI safety evaluators command €46/hr — ~$50/hr equiv — the highest documented rate within the EU for structured evaluation work, as Sweden's collective bargaining framework converts gig annotation into formal employment, Klarna and Spotify pioneer in-house AI evaluation divisions, and Swedish-language scarcity compounds the structural shortage that frontier labs face in RLHF pipelines across all five Nordic languages.
Top 20 AI Training Platform Employers 2026
From frontier labs to crowdwork platforms: the first definitive ranking of who employs AI trainers, RLHF specialists, and evaluators — and how well they do it.
EU AI Act Article 10 Is Creating a New Class of European AI Trainers
EU-compliant RLHF specialists now earn €45K-€85K/year — double standard annotator rates. Berlin's Toloka AI grew 85% since January 2026. Mistral's Paris alignment team went from 8 to 34 trainers.
