Get online, get calls, get paid
Remoto by ProZ connects you with organizations that need professional video and audio interpreting — with you in control of your availability and your rates.
How buyers find you
Twelve ranking factors, all named and weighted — percentages shift by buyer context (directory, scheduled, live). The same base blend runs on every public surface so your position is predictable.

Weights published — no hidden rules
Locality, online status, reliability, rating, and eight more — every percentage matches our live API. See the full list and weights by context below.
You set your own rates
Choose your per-minute rate for each language pair. Update it when you go online or from your language settings — you decide what you charge for Remoto calls.
How buyers find you
Remoto's ranking is a composite score built from twelve factors (listed below). Each factor has a published percentage share of the blend. Switch tabs to see how those percentages shift by buyer context.
How much each factor counts by buyer context
When a buyer browses the directory, Remoto blends these signals into one composite score. Each percentage is that signal's share of the blend — all active rows add up to 100%. This is the default sort unless the buyer picks Rating, Price, or Experience.
Locality match
16% of scoreBuyer in your country = biggest possible boost. Same region (continent) gets a partial boost.
Online right now
13% of scoreBeing online when the buyer searches is the biggest real-time lever you control. Offline interpreters still surface, just lower.
Years of experience
13% of scorePulled from your year_started field. Capped — 25 years gets the same boost as 40.
Acceptance reliability
13% of scoreOf the calls the system offered you, how many did you accept (vs. let ring out). Builds with use.
Call volume
9% of scoreTotal accepted calls on Remoto. New interpreters get a separate boost (see below) so this doesn't lock you out.
Compliance bundle
8% of scoreIdentity verified, HIPAA / BAA, background-checked, contractor agreement. Each adds 2% — fully credentialed = the full 8%.
Rating
7% of scoreBayesian-averaged Remoto reviews. Small samples don't dominate. Will bump significantly once ProZ.com WWA reviews blend in.
Recently active
6% of scoreWhen did you last log in / come online? Active in the last 24h gets the full boost; decays out to ~30 days. Matters most for scheduled-call searches where buyers need to know you'll see the request.
Has intro video
4% of scoreYouTube link on your profile. Cards with videos convert noticeably better — small but meaningful boost.
Profile completeness
4% of scoreBio, tagline, avatar, subjects, modes, year started. Each filled field counts — discourages bare-bones profiles.
New-interpreter boost
4% of scoreFirst 60 days OR fewer than 5 ratings: extra weight so newcomers can earn their first calls. Decays gradually.
Daily rotation
3% of scoreTiny seeded shuffle that rotates equally-scored interpreters day-to-day so no one sits permanently buried.
Percentages match our live API weights. When a buyer applies an explicit sort (Rating, Price, Experience), that sort wins instead of this blend.
Profile essentials
Three pieces are non-negotiable. Without them your profile either isn't visible at all, or isn't routable to a real call.
Example profile completeness
Illustrative — each filled field adds to your ranking score and helps buyers shortlist you.
Identity verification
A Remoto admin reviews your government ID, profile photo, and submitted credentials before approving you for calls. Without approval, your profile isn't visible to buyers at all.
Language pairs + per-minute rates
Add each direction you work and set your own per-minute rate. Buyers filter by exact pair direction — the more accurate this is, the more relevant calls you'll get.
Native language declaration
Declared native languages render a "Native" badge on your pair pills. Native is one of the top filters buyers use, especially for legal and medical work.
Boosters that unlock more work
These are optional, but each one either unlocks a buyer filter you'd otherwise miss, or lifts your conversion from card-impression to booking. Worth the 5 minutes.
Intro video (YouTube, 60–90 sec)
Cards with an intro video get a play-icon badge that buyers click through to at a noticeably higher rate. Use a clean YouTube link from the address bar.
HIPAA / BAA on file
Medical-sector buyers filter "HIPAA-cleared only" before they even look at individual cards. Without it, you do not appear in their results.
More ways to unlock work
Background-checked
Enterprise and legal buyers filter on this. Signed once via the agreement flow in your profile.
Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA)
Buyers who route calls through Remoto's ICA workflow only see interpreters who have signed it.
Specialty depth (years + hours)
Self-report years and total hours per subject (Medical, Legal, Conference, etc.). Renders as "Medical · 8 yrs · 1,240 hrs" pills on your profile.
Professional bio
Our parser ignores bios that lead with superlatives. Lead with concrete experience: clients you've supported, settings you've worked in, certifications you hold.
Stay active to stay visible
Three of the twelve ranking factors are levers you control in real time. The rest come from your profile, credentials, and call history.
Ranking factor
Online right now
13% of directory ranking (varies by context). Toggle yourself online before peak hours. Offline interpreters still surface — they sit lower than equally qualified online ones.
Ranking factor
Recently active
6% on every surface. When you last logged in or came online: under 24h gets the full boost; decays out to ~30 days. For scheduled-call searches, a separate availability bonus also rewards interpreters whose published window covers the requested time.
Ranking factor
Acceptance reliability
13% of directory ranking. Of call offers routed to you, the share you accept vs. let ring out. The biggest single lever offline interpreters can fix when they come online.
Buyers also see these on your card. They influence booking decisions but are not separate weights in the twelve-factor blend.
On your profile card
Response time
Average time from "call rings" to "you tap Accept" over the last 90 days. Shown as "Responds in 28s" on your card — buyers use it to choose live calls, but it is not its own ranking weight.
On your profile card
Completion rate
Share of accepted calls that ran to completion. Displayed on your profile with context when drops are network-related. Good practice, but not a separate line item in the twelve-factor score.
Your ProZ.com reputation comes with you
If you have an existing ProZ.com profile, your Willingness-to-Work-Again reviews, Certified PRO Network badge, Professional / Business membership tier, declared native languages, and listed disciplines all surface automatically on your Remoto profile and card. No re-entry required — log in with your ProZ account and we pick it up.
