Is Jobs for Editors still working and…

Is Jobs for Editors still working and still live? Do they still recruit editors? They had closed the editing project in 2021 during the Covid period. Can anyone please clarify whether they are still currently recruiting editors in 2025 and how good or bad is their service? Any editors currently working with them may also please reply. Many thanks in advance

Avoid at any cost

Avoid at any cost. They expect everything and they give nothing. English is not my native language, but still, I have an MA in Translation and I expected better payment. Obviously here, it does not matter. You will be paid with 2-3 usd maximum per hour or per day if you are lucky. They ask commitment like at least 10 tests per week, you have to pass a lot of training. All a waste of time. And when you start being quick so you can earn something more than 5 usd throughout the day, or you do not correct enough mistakes, they are making complaints. I would not have any expectations with this payment. Something weird is going on with company. Don't fall for the fake professionalism.

Dear Tzami,

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Our editing project has been closed since a year; we no longer have editors working with us.

After substantial research on whether I should apply to this company what I find the most strangest is that almost over 90% of the reviews on Trustpilot and Glassdoor, which have 5 stars, are all written in terrible English. If Jobs for Editors are working principally on editing and managing English documents then how on earth are all these people leaving reviews not able to write in correct English? Unless it is the same person writing all the reviews...which it very much looks like. Plus the review responses from Jobs for Editors are also full of incorrect sentence structures and bad English....very much like the people who are leaving the reviews...hmmm! The pay looks below minimum wage too..if that! I would stay away if I were you...looks very scammy!

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

We would like to invite you to apply for one of the editing positions that we offer to see if your assumptions are really true. Once you are offered the desired position, you will be able to communicate with other editors in one of our corporate channels and get honest feedback on the job they do as well as on the employer.

The payment varies but average sums are given at our website, so all applicants can estimate the income and decide if it suits their needs.

A Blatant Bunch of Hucksters—GTH JFE.

A conscientious alert to would-be editors considering work with this fraudulent co.: *Don't*.

An HR staffer, only revealing their first name, cordially replied to my work opp. query with an invitation to submit my cv. I responded in kind with my job app for an editor post. Immed., I smelled a scam when I opened the staffer's email the next day stating no such positions existed within the co.'s current or foreseeable hiring structure. They would, however, be placing suckers, err..., hires in managing editor roles. A quick run down of what JFE offers the employee at this "managerial" level puts things in perspective:
* >=40 hours/week - 350 pages/month - $1000/month
* 35-40 hours/week - 300 pages/month - $800/month
* 25-30 hours/week - 200 pages/month - $500/month

No degreed working-age editor-proofreader from a native English-speaking country works for that kind of peanuts. If they do, they are shams not unlike JFE. Incidentally, the co. has been trolling the reaches of cyberspace to post fake glowing reviews. Don't fall for it.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. The information on Managing Editor's pay is provided on the site (https://jobsforeditors.com/managing-editor-job-description.html), and everybody interested in the position can access this information and decide whether compensation meets requirements.

As to the Freelance Editor position, the number of applications we can process per month is limited. In cases when recruitment is finished but the applicant possesses required knowledge and skills, HR management can offer alternative position, which is Managing Editor. We would be glad to clarify other questions should you have any.

Ethical concerns are just the start

This has to be the strangest editing work I have ever come across. Apart from the ethical concerns already voiced, the company is so far up its own backside that it is a wonder it ever comes out.

It appears that Jobs For Editors will hire anyone to write, with the standard of the articles the worst I have ever come across; however, when it comes to hiring editors, the company suddenly becomes pretentious and insists that you jump through hoops and demonstrate more advanced editing skills than I have ever come across in all my years in the industry.

This means that the editing is a long and arduous process, which would be fine if the remuneration was fair; unfortunately, it isn't. The editor takes a percentage of the writer's fee, depending on how much editing is required, up to a maximum of 50 per cent. This means the writer can get the same fee for producing a sow's ear as the editor can for turning it into a silk purse.

I am at a loss as to how anyone can think the editing fees are fair or would be willing to work for such a pittance. Perhaps all the favourable reviews are from the writers who get paid to write rubbish - perhaps this is something I should try.

Thank you for being open about your experience and sharing your thoughts.

It is true that editors share bid with writers whose papers they check. The quality of these papers can vary just as the level of writers who write them. Mostly, writers who participate in Editing project do need assistance, and this is the reason why they were assigned editors. Those who have good writing skills, do not need editors to check their papers, and therefore, mostly, you do not see well written papers. As to the payment scheme, when editos' bid share depends on the amount of changes made, this motivates them not just proofread papers and correct grammar mistakes and typos, but also pay attention to content and paper structure irregularies. The share of the bid the editor receives in the end directly depends on the amount of content changed. That is, if 50% of the content was improved, the editor gets 50% of the bid, which is fair considering that, first, the editor works on already written paper and does not write from sratch, and, second, the half of the content is still writer's. Editors are not supposed to rewrite the whole paper, but set it in revision for the writer. However, when editors modify most of the content, we always raise bid.
