What this actually is

You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (HR Expert) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

How Mercor picks people

  1. Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
  2. Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
  3. Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
  4. The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.

Before you start

  • Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
  • Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
  • You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.

Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Role Overview

  • Mercor is hiring experienced HR professionals to build and review evaluation tasks for AI agents.
  • Each task is set in a realistic simulated company, with the policies, employee records, case files, emails and HR systems a people team really uses.
  • You make sure each task reads like a real request, the reference answer holds up against the source records, and the grading rubric checks what a senior HR leader would check.

Key Responsibilities

  • Refine AI-drafted task prompts so they read like a real request from an HR director or manager, without giving the answer away.
  • Check the reference answer against the world's files and app records, and correct what is wrong.
  • Write and tighten grading rubrics: pass/fail criteria with exact values, plus the judgment calls a generalist would miss.
  • Read how leading AI models attempt each task and confirm they fail for fair, defensible reasons.
  • Work across talent acquisition and onboarding, performance management and succession, compensation, benefits and leave, employee relations and workplace investigations, separations, HR policy and employment-law compliance, people analytics, and organization design.

Ideal Qualifications

  • 3+ years of HR experience. A leadership title or major-company background is a plus, but time in the field matters more.
  • Bachelor's degree in human resources, business or a related field.
  • Ownership of talent programs, employee-relations matters or compensation design, and working knowledge of employment law (Title VII, FLSA, ADA, or UK / EU equivalents).
  • SHRM-SCP, SPHR or an international equivalent strongly preferred. Prior experience on a Mercor RL project is a plus.

Details

  • Pay: $95/hour.
  • You start with a short onboarding session and a paid skills assessment. Once you pass, you can claim your first task right away.
  • Strong performers can move into reviewer and world lead roles.
