What kind of work Mercor offers
Talent matching for specialist contract roles, including projects supporting AI labs. Opportunities are attached to a role rather than a permanent open task queue.
Selection and preparation focus
Keep your resume and professional profile accurate, and prepare concise examples that show what you personally built, decided or improved. Specific evidence is more useful than memorised interview scripts.
Availability and payout caveat
Interview access, contract length, rate and payout terms depend on the particular role. Review the written offer and contractor terms before accepting.
