Toloka Annotators · Vancouver, British Columbia · $16,640 annually

applies via jobs.workable.com

Verdict

Toloka is a legitimate, well-funded multinational company with strong credentials (Bezos Expeditions backing, major clients, active careers page). However, the posting exhibits a clear location mismatch: the company is headquartered in Amsterdam with offices in the US, Israel, Switzerland, and Serbia—not Vancouver. The posting claims a Vancouver location without a corresponding office, which is a moderate fraud signal. The salary ($16,640 annually for part-time work) is plausible for data annotation roles. The application is handled through Workable (legitimate ATS) with no suspicious payment or ID-upfront requirements. The mismatch between claimed and actual company location is the primary concern, pushing this into the medium-risk band.
