We now have two new openings on our Forum QA team. Both positions have now been filled, thank you to all that applied.

Would you like to join the Slickdeals Forums QA team?
  • Want to work with fun people on a site that you love?
  • Are you great with detail and fast on the keyboard?
  • Do you get along with the mods, DEs and QA team and have an account on SD in good standing?


If you answered yes to those questions and would like to apply for a Forum QA position on Slickdeals please email us at [email protected] to tell us your attributes and why you'd be a good fit for our group.

Please be sure to include your slickdeals member name and also state which shift you are applying for in the email, thanks Smilie

The right person for this job needs to be able to work full-time.
The two shifts we have an opening for are:
Midnight - 8 AM Pacific Time
Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun


or

4pm to midnight Pacific Time
Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun
(For this shift there may be some slight wiggle room on the starting time for the Mon/Tues days only)

Basic tasks include but are not limited to:
  • Adding pictures of products, categories, keywords and tags to threads.
  • Checking to see if deals are still alive or need to be moved to DT.
  • Letting DEs know when FP threads need editing (parts of deals expired but rest still active).



All Moderator, QA and Deal Editor positions are paid and include vacation days and optional medical packages

Do you require vaccination?
Is this a remote job?
Do you have a dress code?
Do you offer 401k ?
Do you need security clearance?

So many questions so little answers..

I believe those questions would be answered during an interview. If you're interested in the position, please apply per the instructions in the OP Smilie

maybe this isn't apparent to the team but lack of any pay info is a huge warning sign

Most of those questions can be asked or answered during the interview if you're interested and apply Smilie But I will answer two now:

Yes, it's a remote job
As for dress code: Please at least brush your hair and teeth for any remote video meetings Wink

So what you're saying is that I can sit there in just a shirt and a smile as long as I brush my hair and teef? Sweet.

Is an actual computer required for the editing of posted deals and such or could it be done on something like a phone or tablet?

I know I've been able to post fairly detailed deal posts just from my phone before.

We can negotiate the messy hair. A laptop or desktop computer is required. The job requires more than just editing posts that cannot be done efficiently on a phone or tablet.

One should at least post some pay ranges. Especially if different shifts pays differently.

Thank you for the response. So then it does pay enough to live on, depending on the cost of living in a particular area naturally.

I still don't get the whole secretive "we'll discuss pay in the interview" thing, especially when other companies at least list a range (up to $x per hour). Even the Indeed listings for other jobs for this site list the salaries.

Thanks again for the reply. I'm still debating applying. Hopefully I don't wait too long like last time.

You're welcome. And as for why it's not mentioned on here, that's not my call to make sorry. And as for being too late or not, just fyi the positions don't tend to stay open long. So if you miss one, then you can always apply the next time one opens up Smilie

I definitely procrastinated for too long last time. So I guess I better get my name in there sooner than later.

Thank you to all that applied. Both positions have now been filled. I believe the moderator position is currently still open, so you can also check that out if interested. And we're a growing site, so keep an eye out for future openings too Wink
