Mercor

AI Expert - HR / People Ops Contractor
Remote (Global) $95/hr November 14, 2026

Job description

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.
