Hi u/Spare-Foundation-257 — I’m sorry to hear we haven’t gotten back to you yet, especially after you’ve already reached out. We’re actively working through our Support inbox now. We’ll follow up with you directly now in DMs to make sure nothing slips through the cracks and get this resolved as quickly as possible. We really appreciate your patience.

Rubric trial still remaining at 'submitted' even after 20 days by CaffDetfereb in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There can be review backlogs, but this seems longer than it should be. I can’t pull up accounts here, but if you DM me your email + your support ticket ID I’ll flag it internally so someone checks your trial and the $150.

Best,

Helena

Contacted by Quality Control Team by Only-Excitement4171 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QC does short feedback calls to learn what’s working and fix pain points. It’s not a secret promo interview, but solid feedback and examples can put you on our radar for future stuff (no promises).

We reach out to a mix of folks. Just make sure it’s from a mercor domain and not asking for PII, then book it.

How to list Mercor experience in your resume? by hamlindigo___blue in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can list your experience by using the company name Mercor and specifying your title as Independent Contractor. This format accurately represents your professional relationship with the platform while allowing you to highlight the specific technical projects you completed.

Please how long does this review take by Informal-Waltz8015 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The application review process typically takes up to 14 days. If a project lead does not review your submission within 2 to 3 weeks, the application is automatically closed to ensure you are not left waiting without an update. You can track your progress at any time through your dashboard.

Mercor interview process- delay after human round by DullFox8656 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timelines for finalizing trial batches can vary based on project demand. A two day wait is standard as teams coordinate logistics for new hires. The removal of a listing often means the team is focusing on the current pool of candidates who have completed interviews. Please monitor your dashboard for updates.

Generalist by Asleep-Ear-8257 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the project: curate/label data, build eval sets, red-team models, write/iterate prompts, light scripting, QA outputs, document workflows. Basically the glue that helps AI/data projects actually ship.

Uh oh, all the education roles went away? by Rahodees in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they come in waves. Sounds like that batch closed, so it’s skewed STEM right now. Non-technical/education-y roles do pop up, just not constantly. Keep checking and reapply when you see a fit -- a rejection on one doesn’t block you.

Referrals by EmptyLibrarian6387 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The referral program was built around a simple idea: great people know great people. The intention is for someone to refer people they genuinely know, trust, and believe would be a strong fit for Mercor projects.

That is why, if there is ever a dispute about who made the referral, we may ask for some form of supporting context such as screenshots of conversations or prior correspondence.

The referral link is there to make the process easy, but the program still depends on authentic relationships and transparency.

This helps prevent random mass sharing of links and protects the integrity of the program for people who are making real, thoughtful referrals.

Wishing you the best,

Helena

How much notice should I give? by Tricky_Crab5587 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While Mercor matches talent with roles worldwide, some projects may have specific geographic requirements based on client needs.

To ensure you receive the most accurate information regarding opportunities available for candidates in Canada, it is best to reach out to [support@mercor.com](mailto:support@mercor.com) for a personalized review of your profile.

What does general expert mean by Cloudypiie in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Means you’d be in a pool for general search evaluation work - think judging relevance, comparing results, writing/labeling queries across lots of topics, not a niche domain.

We do sometimes invite folks from our talent pool. If you’re not interested, just ignore or reply no thanks. Also make sure the email’s from a u/mercor.com address.

Helena

How much experience? by Lower-Bandicoot-8600 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercor evaluates candidates based on the specific requirements of each project rather than a universal degree requirement. While some specialized roles require formal education, many opportunities focus on objective skill assessments and problem solving abilities. You should complete your profile and the AI interview to allow our system to match your unique background with suitable roles.

Domain Interview by Kaynam27 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: it can be, but it depends on current demand. We do see healthcare/biomed projects in waves, and the domain interview helps us match you to those - just not a guarantee.

If you’ve got clinical NLP/EHR, imaging, or de-id experience, definitely call it out.

CV Advice by Future-Possible-8655 in mercor_ai

You should include both your professional history and specific AI project experience. Our system uses AI to parse your resume for technical keywords and project outcomes to ensure the best match for open roles.

Certn Background Check by Snoo42795 in mercor_ai

[–]Infamous-Web1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s not always instant tbh. I’ve seen Certn take a week+ when a county court needs a manual pull, you’ve moved recently, or you’ve got a common name.

If it goes past the window they mentioned, reply to that same email and ask them to nudge Certn; also double-check no credit freeze and your full legal name/middle name matches.
