Role Overview
Mercor is running a short, structured evaluation pilot to measure how frontier AI models perform on realistic professional work — and how experienced practitioners judge that work. We are hiring 50 experts across two business domains. Each expert completes one task, then evaluates five model attempts at that same task. This is a one-time study, not ongoing production work.
What You'll Do
Sign an NDA before receiving any materials.
Solve one realistic, domain-specific task using the source files provided.
Review five model-generated outputs for that task. Rank them 1–5 with no ties, score each 0–100, and write evidence-based rationales that cite specific parts of the output.
Provide structured feedback on the task itself and on the study design.
Time Commitment
Estimated 8-12 hours.
Study Conditions
No rubric and no golden answer are provided. Your professional judgment is the measurement.
Use of LLMs or other AI assistants is prohibited at every stage — solving, ranking, scoring, and writing rationales.
Domains we are focused on
Human Resources
Accounting
Who We're Looking For
5+ years of hands-on professional experience in one of the two domains above.
Currently or recently practicing, so you can judge the work the way a working professional would.
Able to write a clear, specific, evidence-grounded rationale for a judgment.
Reliable within a short turnaround window.
Eligibility Restriction
You are not eligible for this pilot if you have worked on Project Alchemy in any capacity — task author, reviewer, world expert, or anyone who has had access to its source world data. Prior exposure to that material would invalidate the study.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Accounting
How long hiring takes
Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Common questions
Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?
Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.
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.
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 Accounting work look like for a Business Domain Expert — AI Model Evaluation Pilot (Admin, Marketing, HR, Accounting)?
Tasks here are scoped to Accounting, not generic labeling. As a Business Domain Expert — AI Model Evaluation Pilot (Admin, Marketing, HR, Accounting), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Accounting) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Accounting background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Expert is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $70–$100/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.
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.
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.
