A content moderator reviews and manages user-generated content to keep platforms safe and compliant. They identify and remove harmful material from social media, online social forums, e-commerce sites, and other digital spaces. Hiring skilled moderators helps your business to reduce legal risks, protect your brand, and build a trusted community.
1840 will match you with content moderators who fit your workflows, tools, and goals using our AI Talent Cloud. For example, if you run a social platform, we’ll source social media moderators skilled in monitoring video streams and forums to help you protect your online community. If you run an e-commerce site, we’ll connect you with product moderators who strengthen your platform’s customer loyalty by detecting scams and fake products.
We source content moderator candidates worldwide, and the cost of hiring depends on several factors. Location has the biggest impact, with regions like the Philippines, India, and LATAM offering significant savings. Experience level and specialized expertise in areas such as social media moderation or e-commerce content review also influence pricing.
We factor in the tools and tech stack moderators will use, along with English fluency, accent clarity, and time zone alignment.

We work within your budget to connect you with the right applicants who fit your workflows and content moderation needs. All services come with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

Many work U.S. business hours to provide real-time support in reviewing content, removing harmful material, and keeping your platform safe.

You decide what works best for your team, and we’ll handle all time zone coordination.
