Mercor is an AI-focused hiring and project platform that connects skilled professionals with flexible work helping companies build, evaluate, and improve artificial intelligence systems. Projects can include expert response review, model evaluation, prompt writing, data analysis, coding tasks, domain-specific reasoning, and interviews or assessments for AI research teams. Work is typically remote and project-based, with applicants matched to opportunities based on their background, test performance, and client needs. Because Mercor emphasizes expert matching, it is better suited to people who can demonstrate specific professional or academic knowledge.
Applicants generally need to create a profile, provide work or education history, and complete role-specific screening steps. Many projects require strong written English, reliable internet access, and demonstrated expertise in the relevant field. Technical roles may require coding assessments or interviews, while professional expert roles may require credentials, portfolio evidence, or subject-matter experience. Availability, country eligibility, and pay rates vary by project.
