Data outsourcing firm Axion Data Entry Services is made up mostly
of independent contractors who perform data entry for company clients.
These jobs are performed off-site and usually from home. However,
the workforce in the United States is small—about 60 to 70 professional
data entry operators who have been with the company for years—and
turnover is low.
Opportunities at Axion Data Entry Services
The data entry work that Axion Data Entry Services offers is fairly
standard, and includes entering data from scanned images. The company
incorporates document scanning and advanced data capture and recognition
technologies for accuracy.
Some of the types of data entry
projects that Axion contractors work on are loyalty program
applications, contest entries, advertising insertions, customer response
cards, student records, product registrations and questionnaires.
Most of its operators work part time, 20 to 25 hours per week, but
the amount of work available varies. Each agent establishes a flexible
schedule. Agents log on to the company’s system, review available
projects and choose which ones to do.
Qualifications and Requirements for Axion
Basic computer skills, such as installing and removing software,
creating new folders, sending emails and using the internet, are
required. Additionally, accurate data entry skills and following
instructions are important qualifications.
Operators must provide and maintain their computer—either a Windows
PC or Mac system—and a high-speed internet connection. Contractors must
have either a telephone answering machine or voice mail. Data entry
clerks are expected to download some free software, and Mac users may
need to purchase remote desktop software to connect to the company work
site.
Applicants must sign a release to allow the company to perform a
criminal background investigation, which may determine suitability as a
contractor. No one is asked to sign a release until the company contacts
the applicant regarding a possible opening. After receiving a clean
criminal record report, the applicant is asked to sign a confidentiality
agreement.
Pay and Benefits at Axion.
All data entry agents are hired as independent contractors. This
means there are no benefits and no guarantee of a minimum wage, or of
regular wage increases.
Axion Data Entry Services pays its data entry operators on a per piece basis,
which varies based on the complexity of the project. According to the
company website, in some projects, the data entered is small, and agents
can input several forms per minute at a compensation rate of a few
cents per form. Other projects require 30 to 60 minutes per document,
with compensation of a few dollars per document.
Agents submit invoices for their work every two weeks and are paid 28 days later.
