About Prolific
Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.
Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organisations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
The Role
We are inviting qualified legal professionals and senior paralegals to join Prolific’s network of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Our clients conduct high-stakes B2B and AI research that requires the nuance and precision of a legal mind.
-
Note on Access: Joining the network grants you eligibility for specialised projects. While we have ongoing requirements, project volume is ad hoc, and access depends on:
- Specific client needs
- Your professional profile
- You will be asked to provide your LinkedIn profile URL when joining the waitlist to verify your experience.
-
Payment: Researchers awaiting your skills typically pay up to 170 USD per hour. Tasks require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
