About the Role
Mercor is hiring French-speaking reviewers to evaluate recorded sessions with a voice-and-camera AI assistant. You will watch each session, compare what the assistant said against what was actually visible in the video, and score it against a detailed rubric.
Your written comments are the deliverable. What you flag as a failure is what gets fixed first. This is judgment work, not volume work.
Key Responsibilities
Review recorded sessions in which a user speaks to an AI assistant while their camera streams whatever is in front of them.
Compare the assistant's responses against what was actually visible in the video feed, and identify hallucinated or fabricated visual detail.
Score each session across visual interpretation, accuracy, relevance, response timing, and whether the assistant used spatial and directional language ("to your left", "move your finger up") rather than purely visual description.
Judge whether the assistant appropriately warned the user when its answer could affect their health, physical safety, or financial security, and whether that warning was timely and proportionate.
Write detailed open comments that support every score with concrete evidence from the session.
Capture the conversation turn by turn in the intake form.
Required Qualifications
Native or native-level French, spoken and written.
Clear, precise written French.
An Android phone with a working camera and microphone. This is mandatory for the project.
Attention to detail and the discipline to apply a rubric consistently, without substituting your own criteria along the way.
Professional English reading comprehension; the scoring guide is written in English.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior data annotation, linguistic QA, content moderation, or AI model evaluation experience.
Training in linguistics, translation or interpreting,
An ear for regional register: recognizing when the assistant's French sounds unnatural or non-native.
Additional Information
Start date: Immediate. High volume of work between 26 to 31 Aug is expected.
Content note: some sessions involve situations where a wrong answer would carry real consequences, such as identifying medication, checking whether food has spoiled, crossing a street, or reading bank card details. There is no graphic or violent content, but you will evaluate cases with safety implications, and part of the work is flagging when the assistant failed to warn about the risk.
Application Process
Submit your resume or relevant background to get started.
Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a short calibration task on sample sessions, assessed on scoring consistency and the usefulness of written comments. We are not assessing speed.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in one of: Remote, France
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Common questions
Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?
No, applying and joining Mercor is free. Mercor's revenue comes from a fee it charges the client on top of your hourly rate, not from applicants. Treat any request for payment to join as a red flag.
Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?
Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Generalist work look like for an AI Session Annotator (French)?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As an AI Session Annotator (French), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation, English, French, and Entry Level are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $21–$27/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
Do I need to be fluent in English or French?
Yes. This role specifically requires English or French proficiency, on top of the English most AI training work assumes by default. If English is not a language you're fluent in, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside France?
This specific role is open only to people based in France. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply.
How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?
Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
