Mercor is seeking experienced HR practitioners at technology companies to evaluate AI-powered enterprise search and workplace assistants on HR knowledge tasks.

What you'll do

• Evaluate answers from enterprise search / workplace AI tools on HR topics within your area of expertise

• Judge whether answers are tied to sources and cite them correctly

• Assess whether results respect each user's access permissions

• Identify stale or conflicting content across knowledge sources

• Distinguish retrieval misses from reasoning errors

Requirements

• 5+ years of active HR practice with demonstrated expertise in a specific HR domain

• Currently in an HR, People Ops, Payroll, or HR Systems role at a technology company (software/SaaS, internet, hardware, semiconductors, or similar)

• Regular hands-on use of at least one enterprise search or workplace AI assistant (e.g., Glean, Workday Assistant, Sana, Microsoft 365 Copilot / SharePoint search, Guru, Coveo, Moveworks, ServiceNow AI Search)

• Hands-on experience using Workday HCM as an end user (not configuration-only training)

• Not primarily a power user or administrator of only Sana or only Glean

Preferred qualifications

• Experience owning or curating HR knowledge content (policy pages, HR help-center articles, FAQ libraries) in Confluence, ServiceNow KB, Workday Help, or similar

• Currently an active HR practitioner rather than consultant-only

• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification

• Workday Pro certifications in relevant modules
