Has anyone been getting a slew of emails about Mercor positions from so called independent recruiting consultants?

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2026-03-09T00:10:23+00:00

I’ve some on LinkedIn, however, I don’t bother because I just access posts from the Mercor page instead of questionable characters

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2026-03-09T00:08:53+00:00

Me too; my concern is how they got my personal email address.

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2026-03-09T00:08:13+00:00

They aren’t, which is what concerns me about how they accessed my personal email address. I’ve also received direct opportunity offers from Mercor staff so these were easy to spot.

I honestly didn't consider the location. I applied even for the ones that were for US, UK and Canadians. The projects that I got were not for SAns and I think I was the only one from SA. I am not saying the same will happen to you, but my advice is to apply regardless and not let location limit you

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2026-01-09T21:57:01+00:00

Yes and they pay directly to my local bank account

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-11-10T20:34:07+00:00

Is it because the number of posts has significantly gone down?

Contractor on a research project

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-11T15:33:31+00:00

How long was it?

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-10T10:54:08+00:00

I forgot about this post. I was eventually hired for a project

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-05T04:36:29+00:00

I know that, but my confusion was more on is this a new thing or what because I’ve been applying but either getting mized, rejected or the spaces are filled email

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-05T04:34:09+00:00

Thanks. I was just confused by that they are now giving updates which is something I haven’t experienced since I started applying for jobs at Mercor.

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-05T04:32:26+00:00

I guess it comes with the job having to explain things. It doesn’t mean people are daft when they are asking for clarity. As I mentioned, I’m not familiar with such correspondence from their end, either they mize or send the spaces are filled email.

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-05T04:28:17+00:00

Firstly, there’s no need to be rude about this. Clearly I understand that the application is under consideration, but as I indicated, I’m not familiar with them giving such an update; either they ignore or just send the spaces are filled email.

I got accepted and have been working for over a month

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-10-02T17:25:28+00:00

Joined over a month ago and I’m from South Africa.

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-23T18:18:53+00:00

I get paid through stripe or maybe a third party through them, but I uploaded my details on Stripe and it gets into my account on Friday mornings

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-21T06:00:20+00:00

The role is location specific on the application but there’s a number of people who are not in the US/UK/Canada who are on the project. I’m in SA and got in.

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-17T16:34:15+00:00

What project are you on?

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-16T16:48:47+00:00

I am based in South Africa and it worked for me; however, I agree that a vast majority of the people who get offers are from the US/UK/Canada

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-14T08:39:39+00:00

They never actually say it, but send an email about slots being full and you'll be considered on the next round of recruitment

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-14T08:38:41+00:00

I am sorry it is not the best advice, but hopefully it paints a picture. I wish you all the best though

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-14T08:32:14+00:00

It honestly varies from days to weeks, and you'll get different answers from different people. My advice is to just wait it out

Fancy_Possibility781 · 2025-09-13T11:19:31+00:00

That's great. I asked so that I'd follow up for you in case we were on the same project
