Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We're a leading AI data company, building the layer between human expertise and frontier models. Millions of domain experts on the platform are paid over $4 million per day to train frontier AI models. Mercor's APEX benchmark family measures AI's real-world impact on professional work. Mercor Enterprise brings this same infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies: helping companies capture how their best people actually work, translating that expertise directly back into agents.

Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society.

What you'd do

  • Run candidate interview experience end to end — screens, take-homes, virtual loops, and full-day onsites — across multiple teams
  • Manage complex scheduling across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers, and absorb reschedules and conflicts before they reach the candidate
  • Treat interviewer capacity as a metric you own rather than a constraint you work around: track load, flag saturation before it slows a pipeline, and help scale the interviewer pool as volume grows
  • Own candidate data in Ashby — stages, tags, scorecards, written rationale — so the pipeline is trustworthy enough to make decisions from
  • Build the checks rather than the cleanup: automated exception reports that surface missing feedback, stalled candidates, and inconsistent stage data before anyone notices manually
  • Turn pipeline data into reporting hiring managers actually use — time-to-schedule, funnel conversion, interviewer load, offer outcomes
  • Run Superdays, candidate dinners, and networking events end to end — logistics, travel, comms, day-of execution
  • We’ll partner to make the onsite a reason someone signs
  • Find the most repetitive work on the team and remove it — with automations, LLM workflows, Ashby’s API, or whatever gets there fastest
  • Codify what our best recruiters do by hand into prompts, templates, and workflows the whole team can use

What they want

  • Be the person candidates remember, at every stage — clear, fast, and human
  • Automate the prep, not the warmth: interviewer packets, candidate prep, and follow-ups that fire on the right trigger without anyone remembering to send them
  • Own post-offer coordination and the handoff into onboarding
  • 3+ years of experience in project management, recruiting operations, HR operations, or similar roles
  • Fluent in an ATS (we use Ashby) and fast on unfamiliar tools
  • You already use AI daily and have built something with it. A scheduling automation, a sourcing workflow, a script that cleans your own data, a prompt library your team relies on.
  • Exacting attention to detail. You triple-check the time zone before you send the invite
  • You treat inefficiency as a personal problem. When something breaks twice, you fix the cause instead of the instance
  • Clear, direct writing — with candidates, with hiring managers, and in your Ashby notes
  • High ownership. You close loops without being asked to
