I applied for the position of freelance subtitler. I had to take an unpaid test which I had to prepare and study for in advance. I passed the test and had to sing tons of paperwork.
The project was going to start a couple of weeks later and I was sent an additional cumpolsory training to complete: it took over 4 hours to complete the whole training.
All of this was unpaid.
When, over three weeks later, I asked about the project, my contact person at Transperfect (who had had me go through the whole process) replied he was just "responsible for the onboarding" and that "his job stops there".
I was left without further information and never heard from any PM at Trasperfect again.
I will definitely not work with them in the future.
