Business Domain Expert — AI Model Evaluation Pilot (Admin, Marketing, HR, Accounting) Hourly contract

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 25 experts across four 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

Up to 13 hours total: 3–10 hours to solve the task, approximately 2 hours to rank and score the five outputs, and approximately 1 hour to provide feedback.

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

• Admin / Business Operations
• Marketing
• Human Resources
• Accounting

Who We're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on professional experience in one of the four 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.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
• This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
• Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
• Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
• Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
• Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
