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
- Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
- Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
- Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
- 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.
