Video Interviews Rater (On-Demand Contract Work Remote in Canada)

Imagine a world where everyone’s full potential is recognized and nurtured.

That’s what we’re building at Acuity Insights .

We believe higher education admissions should look beyond grades and consider the whole person—their experiences, strengths, and unique qualities.

Join a community of Raters helping admissions teams see applicants beyond grades.

Video Interviews is a fully configurable, asynchronous interview tool designed for higher education admissions teams. It gives programs a scalable way to hear directly from applicants and assess the attributes that matter most to them, without the scheduling, coordination, or workload of live interviews.

Together with our other products, such as Casper, it helps admissions teams see applicants more fully, beyond grades and test scores, and make confident, defensible decisions about their future professionals.

This role is designed to fit into your life:

- Work on your own schedule from anywhere in Canada.
