All new translators on ProZ.com please check these rates! The 'standard rates' we charge international agencies are quite different to local Thai agencies, yes. But of course there is an expectation of quality that governs the price.
The current relevance: After a recent recruitment drive of new translators with one agency I work for, new job requests are now all coming with a $0.05/word starting rate before negotiation. This means that one of the translators who passed recruitment screening stated $0.05 as their minimum rate!! Unbelievable! This is after the agency has been sending work with $0.12/word as their starting rate for 4 years!!! Absolutely shameful.
In this situation it is only the agency that benefits with a wider profit margin. The end-client is still being charged the same amount. Other translators working for this agency are now all affected. ▲ Collapse
