Mercor can offer professional AI evaluation work across software, legal, medical, finance, research, language, writing, and other fields. Compare each current role by requirements and pay before applying.
This page shows only Mercor roles; use the main opportunities page to compare platforms.
Mercor's current talent docs describe listing-specific applications and offer/onboarding steps; this is process evidence, not a platform-quality judgment.
Current listings
312 reviewed listings currently shown; 157 listings under review and not shown as open.
Pay evidence
Pay information is shown only when supported by the current reviewed listing.
Typical clear hourly pay
The middle half of current reviewed roles with clear hourly rates is $50–$90/hr, with a median of $70/hr (280 roles).
Screening & eligibility
A role may combine a resume, written/form assessment, AI interview, and work-authorization check; requirements vary by role. Mercor says some assessments can be reused across comparable roles, and a profile-matched assessment can unlock additional roles. Follow the assessment's integrity rules. Location, work authorization, identity checks, and any background check are role- or project-specific; verify the current listing before applying.
Project availability
No guarantee of acceptance, tasks, hours, or project duration. A listing or completed assessment is not an offer of work. Project onboarding and tool access follow selection and offer steps, and task access can pause or change.
Referral link
Some current role-specific Apply links use a resolved referral and disclose it when present. Not every listing is a referral, and a referral does not guarantee work.

Specialist AI Work is independent from Mercor. Some Apply links may be referral links, and we may be paid if the platform credits the referral. This does not change the pay shown in a role or how roles are ordered here.
Live roles remain the purpose of this page. This sourced summary helps you understand what can happen before and after a Mercor application.
How to apply
Create or update a Mercor profile, open a current role, and submit the role-specific application requested on the official site.
Screening
Mercor documents role applications, profile information, and project-specific screening. Requirements can differ by opportunity.
Interview or assessment
Some applications use an AI interview or a role assessment. Follow the current instructions and use only assistance the platform explicitly permits.
After acceptance
An offer, platform acceptance, or completed interview does not by itself mean a project has started. Project onboarding can include additional documents or checks.
Payment and onboarding
Mercor documents project onboarding, agreement signing, background checks for some work, and payment setup as separate steps.
Why work may not appear
A suitable project may not be available after profile or interview completion. Public documentation does not promise continuous matching, hours, or project duration.
Payment details are a separate intent from advertised listing rates. Compare documented providers, approval rules, and unknowns in the contractor payment guide.
