About this Role

We are collecting photo submissions to help improve visual AI systems. As part of this opportunity, you will submit photos of yourself up front. These photos will be used for evaluation and sampling purposes only. After reviewing your submission, we may decide to license some or all of your photos.

If your pictures are selected, we will contact you and share a separate agreement outlining the specific usage terms and compensation. Your photos will not be used in any product, dataset, or external context unless and until you sign that separate license. If your submission is not selected, we will delete all copies of your photos and they will not be used beyond the initial evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for freelancers or full-time employees?

Both. Mercor tries to match you with clients who want long-term contractors. Unlike other platforms where you log in and grab small tasks, Mercor matches you with one company for a steady role (e.g., 'Python Tutor for 3 months').

I'm not comfortable on camera. Can I still apply?

No. The application requires a video interview with an AI avatar. The AI asks you questions about your resume, and the video is shared with potential clients to prove your communication skills.

Does it cost money to join?

No. You should never pay to join these platforms. Mercor makes money by charging the client a fee on top of your hourly rate.

What does the work actually look like?

It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.

How flexible is the schedule?

Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.

Is there an interview?

Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.

How soon will I start?

Important: Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue. Applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You will only start working when a specific client (like a major AI lab) selects your profile. This matching process can take weeks.
