Overview
Mercor’s HR experts create and assess evaluation tasks for AI agents, using simulated companies with realistic policies, employee records, case files, emails, and HR systems. You’ll refine prompts, verify answers against the records, and set rubrics that reflect senior HR judgment across areas such as employee relations, compensation, and employment-law compliance. The work pays $95 per hour, starts with a short onboarding session and a paid skills assessment, and is open worldwide, with US candidates preferred.
What You'll Do5
- Edit AI-drafted prompts so they sound like genuine requests from HR directors or managers without revealing the expected answer.
- Verify reference answers against company files and app records, then correct any errors.
- Create and refine grading rubrics with exact pass/fail criteria and nuanced judgments that a generalist might miss.
- Review attempts from leading AI models and assess whether their failures have fair, defensible reasons.
- Develop tasks 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.
Requirements4
- At least 3 years of HR experience.
- A bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field.
- Experience owning talent programs, employee-relations matters, or compensation design.
- Working knowledge of employment law, including Title VII, FLSA, ADA, or UK and EU equivalents.
Preferred Qualifications3
- SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or an international equivalent.
- Prior experience on a Mercor RL project.
- A leadership title or experience at a major company.
Who Should Apply
HR professionals with at least three years in the field, a relevant bachelor's degree, and hands-on ownership of talent programs, employee relations, or compensation can bring valuable judgment to these AI evaluation tasks. Candidates worldwide may apply, with US candidates preferred.
