Recruitment

So here at OMFGG-Scans, we are a diverse group and we believe in equality among peers. We are mostly a relaxed group of people who does nothing but chat. We are many things, translators, editors, proofreaders but one thing above all is that we are a family. There is a branch of trust among us and I for one, will extend my hand to anyone who wants to come on board. The only thing that I ask for in new applicants is dedication.

The positions that we are currently looking for are:

Translators (Japanese to English, Korean to English and Chinese to English). We are currently seeking individuals who are able to translate between languages. If your english isn’t perfect, don’t worry – we have excellent proof-readers available to assist you.

Editors - We are looking for people that have some experience. What I mean by experience is that we are looking for people who can clean and typeset as well. That is what an editor is. If you are able to do both of these jobs, I encourage you to apply here and become apart of our growing family.

Cleaners - This is one half of the editor’s position. What a cleaner primarily does is clean out the bubbles, level, crop, the basics! We are searching for cleaners, both fresh and old. If you are applying with or without experience, that is fine. We will train you!

Typesetters - This is the other half of the editor’s position. The typesetter’s primary role is to enter the script into the cleans. One requirement for a typesetter in this group is that you need more than ten fonts. We expect typesetters to be creative and knowledgeable about their font styles and how to produce good quality work.

Proofreaders - This position is currently closed. We are looking for someone who can spend a few hours a week, reading our scripts and pointing out mistakes. There will always be a mistake and if you claim there isn’t one, please try harder. Applicants should know their grammar, both basic and advance.

OMFGG-Scans pride themselves in producing scanlations with speed and quality. Anything less is unacceptable. If you think you meet or exceeds these requirements, please contact us via email or our IRC channel.

    Hello,
    I have never done any of this before, but i am pretty good in Photoshop. So if you need someone to be an editor I think I can do it.

    I wouldn’t mind learning how to clean, and I can get Photoshop easily. Not cutting edge, and I have zero experience, but if you guys want me, I can try my best.
