Key Skills
Job Description
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Linguistic Quality Auditor – IPA Phonetic Transcription Review based in Netherlands.

You will work with short audio recordings, orthographic transcriptions, and AI-generated IPA outputs within a client-owned platform. The project is structured around defined quality standards and turnaround expectations, with a limited, focused engagement. This is a remote project suited to linguists who are comfortable working independently and maintaining a high level of accuracy.

- Identify phonetic transcription errors, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies in reviewed submissions.
- Provide corrections where applicable, depending on the confirmed project scope.
- Review short audio recordings alongside standard orthographic and IPA transcriptions.
- Work within the designated client-owned platform and follow established project procedures.
- Meet agreed turnaround times, quality benchmarks, and project-specific review standards.
- Maintain consistent attention to detail across all audited linguistic content.
Requirements:
- Native or near-native fluency in the relevant target locale.
- Strong knowledge of phonetics and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription.
- Previous experience reviewing or producing phonetic transcriptions is highly relevant.
- Prior experience using CAT tools or similar client-owned linguistic platforms.
- Excellent attention to detail and a strong ability to identify subtle pronunciation or transcription discrepancies.
- Ability to work independently while consistently meeting defined quality standards.
- Strong analytical judgment when comparing spoken audio with written and phonetic representations.
- Reliable availability for the project period from early October through mid-October 2026.
- Availability for approximately 20 hours of work during the project.
- Relevant target-language expertise in one or more of the following locales: fr_CA, en_US, pt_PT, vi_VN, de_DE, ko_KR, tr_TR, it_IT, id_ID, nl_NL, th_TH, es_ES, ms_MY, pl_PL, ja_JP, or he_IL.
Benefits:
- Approximately 20 hours of focused project work over an expected two-week engagement.
- Opportunity to contribute to the quality evaluation of AI-generated linguistic data.
- Flexible remote project environment.
- Work performed through a client-owned platform.
- Opportunity to apply specialized phonetics and linguistic expertise to an AI-focused quality initiative.
- Clearly defined quality standards and project deliverables.

About Jobgether
Industry: Internet Marketplace Platforms
Company size: 11-50 employees
Jobgether is a career navigation platform built for senior professionals competing in the remote job market. Hiring systems were designed for volume and keyword matching, not for 15 or 20 years of nonlinear experience. That structural mismatch is why strong profiles get filtered out before a human ever sees them. Our platform diagnoses where a search is breaking, corrects how experience is positioned, and connects professionals to the companies where their background creates real value. The goal is not more applications. It is the right visibility in the right places. Our mission is to ensure no senior professional remains invisible in the global remote market, not because they lack the skills, but because the system failed to read them correctly.
