Mercor is a Series C AI data company ($10B valuation) that organizes human intelligence to power the AI economy. The company operates a platform where millions of domain experts train frontier AI models, and provides enterprise solutions to Fortune 500 companies through its APEX benchmark and agent infrastructure.
As a Recruiter in Operations, you will own full-cycle hiring (sourcing through close) for critical roles across multiple functions, with particular focus on the Operations organization. You'll partner directly with General Managers to identify and recruit high-performing operators who work with leading AI labs. This is a foundational 0→1 recruiting motion with the opportunity to establish best-in-class talent acquisition systems at a hypergrowth company.
Key responsibilities include: executing full-cycle recruiting across marketing, finance, people ops, and operations; mapping hiring needs with stakeholders and implementing process improvements; building top-of-funnel through creative outbound and structured screening; coaching hiring managers on interview quality and decision hygiene; operationalizing hiring systems with metrics tracking (pass-through rates, time-in-stage, source yield); driving speed and candidate experience with same-day debriefs and fast offers; building employer brand through campaigns, referrals, and events; representing Mercor externally to competitive talent markets; collaborating on recruiting dashboards and process automation in Ashby; and refining technical recruiting as the Ops org increasingly hires from technical backgrounds.
You should have proven full-cycle recruiting experience across individual contributor and leadership roles, with demonstrated ability to build and scale hiring systems using data-driven decision-making. A high-motor, outcome-oriented approach is essential given Mercor's hypergrowth trajectory. Strong communication skills and familiarity with GTM, Strategy, Operations, and ideally technical roles (SWEs, FDEs) are required. Experience with Ashby or quick adoption of new tools is expected. Nice-to-haves include founding recruiter experience, interest in human data/AGI space, and technical recruiting expertise.
Ideal candidates combine agility and adaptability, operational rigor, growth mindset, outcome commitment, and genuine passion for building world-class talent acquisition. Mercor operates in-person five days per week across San Francisco, NYC, and London offices.
