HR Expert at Mercor

HR Expert | $70–$80/hr | Worldwide Remote

Mercor is seeking experienced senior HR professionals to design evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in talent management, employee relations, and organizational design contexts. Contributors will build realistic, high-stakes HR scenarios and rubrics that reflect how senior HR leaders truly think and operate — not just textbook theory.

This role supports two compliance tracks: a US track (Title VII, FLSA, ADA, and state employment law) and an International track (UK Employment Rights Act, EU labor directives). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Design HR scenarios spanning talent acquisition, workforce planning, employee relations, performance management, and compensation and benefits.
• Build evaluation tasks across recruiting, labor relations, HR compliance, and organizational development.
• Develop scenarios involving enterprise HR tools such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, applicant tracking systems, and compensation benchmarking platforms (Radford, Mercer).
• Apply HR methodologies — workforce planning, compensation benchmarking, employee relations investigations — aligned to the appropriate compliance track.
• Produce reference HR policies, investigation reports, compensation analyses, and organizational design proposals.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic, senior-level HR judgment from generic or certification-exam-level responses.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an HR leader, Chief People Officer, or senior HR consultant at a major organization (e.g., Mercer, Korn Ferry, or in-house VP/CHRO at a large company).
• Direct ownership of talent programs, employee relations matters, or compensation design initiatives.
• Strong fluency in HR tooling, methodologies, and real-world employment law compliance.
• A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred: SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or an international equivalent.
• Prior experience in rubric writing, training development, or instructional design is a plus.
