Recruiter - Enterprise Human Data

About Mercor Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development. Our vast talent network trains frontier AI models in the same way teachers teach students: by sharing knowledge, experience, and context that can't be captured in code alone. Today, more than 30,000 experts in our network collectively earn over $3 million a day. 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. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices. About the Role As a Recruiter on Mercor's Enterprise Human Data team, you'll own full-cycle hiring for the fastest-growing division at one of the fastest-growing companies in the world — the team building human-powered AI evaluation and training data for the enterprises and labs putting agents into production (customers span Fortune 500s to frontier labs). You'll partner directly with leadership, Engagement Managers, and Strategic Project Leads to hire the account owners, project leads, engineers, and other support functions who will scale the org from ~10 people today to 100+ by the end of the year. This is a true 0→1 motion, with an opportunity to lay the foundation for how this team recruits. This is a high-intensity mandate. Mercor recently crossed a $2B revenue run rate, and the hiring bar and pace here match that ambition: we operate six days a week (five in person) and long hours, based out of our San Francisco (strongly preferred) or NYC office.
