Before you apply

Contract AI projects for a range of professional backgrounds. Applications, assessments and offers are specific to each opportunity.

Public information checked. Personal eligibility, current work and payment outcomes remain unverified. These dated notes sit alongside the live directory information.

Work and background

Remote contract work contributing expertise to AI projects. Read the role to distinguish a current engagement from a talent network. [1]

Application and screening

Create a profile, upload a resume and complete the requested assessments. AI interviews call for a desktop browser, camera, microphone and stable internet. [2]

Country and eligibility

Contractors must be located in a country on Mercor’s Supported Regions Policy. Australia, the US, UK and Canada are listed; the list is not worldwide eligibility. Check the role and payout-country requirements too. [3] [4]

Pay and unpaid time

Contract rates are in USD. Mercor describes weekly payouts through Stripe Connect or Wise depending on country. Stripe’s first payout has a seven-day holding period; bank arrival can take longer. Standard Stripe payouts are free; eligible instant payouts cost 1%. [4]

Access to work

A profile or assessment is an application step. Check whether the specific listing offers work or entry into a talent network. [1] [2]
