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 (Pharma Commercial Forecasting Expert - Launch Curves) 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.
