Is social media a part of your everyday life? Do you consider yourself well-versed in social media? Have you ever considered a work-at-home job in social media? If so, you may be interested in the work at home social media moderator opportunity that Crisp Thinking offers.
What Exactly is Crisp Thinking?
Crisp Thinking was founded in 2005 by Adam Hildreth, whose goal was to weed out people who were not acting professionally on the Internet and posting things that were not true. His mission then and now was to always protect the client's brand and reputation.
To do this, Crisp Thinking (or just Crisp) hires social media moderators to work as independent contractors both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Crisp offers the client 24/7 coverage with removal of any inappropriate social media content within 15 minutes of posting. Then there are audit trails and reports generated all with the intent of protecting the brand and reputation of the client.
What Do the Social Media Moderators Do at Crisp?
The work includes:
- reviewing and classifying content on all of the major social media channels.
- escalating any issues outlined by the client.

@Nikki – Sorry that your experience was not a good one. Things do change in the WAH world, and sometimes not for the best.
Pay sucks, its per item and no where close to $10 a hour. More like $2. Really mad i wasted my time applying and all that.
I would love to get this job, looking forward to it 🙂
I applied using the new link provided here in the comments. I passed the initial multiple choice test with a perfect score. It said if you pass, they will contact you in a week’s time, to be followed with a phone interview. That was about 2 weeks ago and I still haven’t heard anything… I’ve checked my email every day. Are they not hiring? It would be nice to know that before bothering to apply. The application, while not “hard”, *is* time consuming. Feeling disappointed.
Could you share your correct responses please? ive done it a number of times and i get 18 every time! cannot work out which question is incorrect, driving me bonkers
no19 this is an old post so probably no chance of getting an answer but did you manage to pass the test. I am stuck at 18 too and I don’t really see how is this possible.
anybody ever heard back??
No, my friend who’s working there said that if you never heard back it means you don’t get the job
coudl you please make a job listing for teens under 18 that don’t involve surveys because thats all that is available
No longer using Survey Monkey. New link

What’s going on with this application process? I filled out the application last semester (which is via Survey Monkey) and received no confirmation email or further correspondence. I can’t even remember how far back I did the application because there is no email to confirm or a timestamp on the finished application “survey”. This is the most ridiculous manner of asking for applications.
Same here. Their survey says they may or may not be hiring, how stupid. They should at least indicate on the survey if they’re actively hiring so people don’t waste their time.
I assume that’s per hour, paid out every two weeks.
Is it $10-$15 per hour, paid out every two weeks?
No where near $10 a hour. More like $2-3. Not worth the effort.
I’m going to apply. Is it entry level? This is the trouble I’m running into with lots of WAH jobs. My current jon is not related to many WAH positions. Any advice?
Entry level
