Mercor
Verified listingOverview
Mercor partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to train frontier models using human expertise. In this role, you'll complete daily web search queries and rate the quality of results to help train and enhance AI systems.
What You’ll Do
- Do daily search queries and rate the results
- Complete assigned query sets within the day they're assigned
- Leave short notes and annotations on search results
Requirements
- Strong written English; other languages a plus
- Ability to judge whether a page answers a search question
- Careful, consistent and detail-oriented
- Deep interest or expertise in specific areas (e.g. basketball, reality TV)
- Everyday web user with sound judgment
Who Should Apply
Apply if you're a curious, meticulous web user with strong judgment about information quality and spare hours to work flexibly on your own schedule. This suits people with niche expertise or deep interests who enjoy detail work. It will frustrate you if you need structure, predictable income, or ongoing employment benefits — this is short-term contract work with variable hours and no job security.
Salary Insight
$30–$40/hour is stated as a range, which typically reflects variation by project complexity, your expertise level, or geographic region. For contract AI training work, this is mid-market; ask early in the screening process whether your interest area (if any) affects placement or rate. Since payment is weekly and you set your own pace, calculate what weekly commitment you can sustain — work is not guaranteed year-round.

Application Tip
Lead with a specific area of expertise or deep interest — not "I use the web a lot" but "I've followed basketball analytics for five years and can spot when search results miss the nuance" or similar. Mercor is screening for both judgment and domain knowledge. Mention any languages you speak fluently, as the background survey will cover this anyway. Be clear in your application about your availability and how many hours per week you can realistically commit.
