About Mercor

Mercor is defining the future of work. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development.

  • Champion speed and quality: drive SLAs for same-day debriefs, fast offers, and strong candidate experience.

  • Build brand: campaigns, referrals, and events that attract top engineers and operators.

  • Represent Mercor externally, you’ll be a face of the brand for top technical candidates.

  • Collaborate on dashboards, metrics, and process automation within Ashby and other recruiting systems.
