Always follow the latest guidelines and instructions we send regarding the number of tasks required to be

Quality Requirements

RATING TIME AND SPAMMING

The SRT tool records the time a rater spends on each rating job (ad). The target time for rating one ad is 90
seconds.

We are monitoring the quality of the ratings closely in order to ensure raters are not spamming. We consider
raters to be spamming when:

1. They do not give thoughtful comments or give very short comments, OR

2. The time spent to rate each ad is less than 60 seconds.
If our quality reviews show that a rater is constantly spending less than 60 seconds to rate one ad, the rater
will be notified. Similarly, if a rater frequently takes more than 120 seconds to rate one ad, they will receive a
notification for overtime rating. Raters who receive multiple notices for either spamming or overtime rating will
be removed from the project.

 Quality Requirements - Comments

Both TELUS International and the customer monitor ad ratings for quality. Please note that TELUS International
has access to all data provided in the rating tool, and the data is reviewed on a weekly basis.

For each ad you rate, you are expected to give a written comment. These written responses must provide
meaningful information on your ratings and thus adhere to certain guidelines:

● The comments need to be written from the community’s perspective - you need to think beyond your
personal preference and decide whether the community would see the ad as inappropriate or not.
● The same comments should not be used repeatedly.
● The comments should be long enough to be meaningful - more than just a few words.
● The comments must be written in English only.

For further information and some examples of good quality comments, please see this article in our SME Support
Portal.

NB. In certain SRT projects, written responses are not required in every rating task. Please see the project-specific guidelines for
details.

 Tips for Successful Ticket Communication

● Whenever you open a support ticket, please give it a descriptive title/subject. For example, it
would be better to title the ticket “There are no tasks available on the SRT tool”, and not “I need
help!”
● Do not open new tickets on the same issue, if you already have a ticket open or pending about
it. The matter will be handled in the existing ticket thread and you can reply to it.
● If at all possible, include a screenshot of what the issue looks like in your view. This will help the
support team recognise the issue and assist you better.
● Report only one issue per ticket. For example, don’t combine a payment question and a tool
issue report in the same ticket.
● If you are reporting problems accessing or logging in with credentials that we send, please include
the URL of the site you are referring to so that the support team recognises the problem right
away.
● Use English to communicate with the support team at all times.

 Other Communication Channels - Email and SMS

IMPORTANT!

ALWAYS keep an eye on your inbox and junk or spam folder.

● We send announcements, reminders, notices, tips and updates through our no-reply email
(no-reply.sme@telusinternational.ai). Please make sure to check your email regularly so you don't miss
any of our emails.

● Add our email address no-reply.sme@telusinternational.ai to your safe email contact list so that our
emails don’t go to spam. If you are unsure how to do this, do a web search on “how to whitelist an email
address”.

● In case you participate in both the SRT rating program and the ACE Mystery Shopping program with TELUS
International at the same time, you need to use the same email address with us in both programs! Make
sure to inform us via the support portal if you have signed up with two different email addresses.

● We may contact you using Whatsapp messages as well, if you have shared your phone number with us. If
you haven’t shared your number yet, but want to do so, you can share your number in a Support Portal
ticket.
