Work remotely, on your own schedule*A NOTE FROM JEREMY
I started Expert Next to make AI work opportunities easier to understand for people who are bilingual and have expertise of their own. I've laid out what the role involves, what it asks for, and how to prepare, so you spend less time guessing and have more to go on when you decide.
Everything here, including the referral, is free. You'll apply on Mercor's official site, and Mercor makes all assessment and hiring decisions.
01 / THE WORK
One prompt, two AI-generated images. Your job is to compare them closely, pick the better one, and explain why in a few clear sentences of English.
What matters is careful, consistent judgment. Quality counts for more than speed.
Are the subject, setting, and requested details all there?
Sharpness, lighting, composition, and overall visual quality.
Check anatomy, object shapes, and spatial layout.
Is it legible, and does it match what was asked for?
Watch for extra objects, distortions, and telltale generation artifacts.
02 / YOUR FIT
You don't need to be a "visual expert." Mercor doesn't require a specific degree. What's worth checking is whether you have these strengths.
You can follow English prompts and task instructions, and write clear reasoning in English.
Comprehension + written clarityYou're willing to study two images closely and catch what's off in content, structure, text, or rendering.
Attention to detail + quality senseYou apply shared standards consistently and break your reasoning into short, well-supported explanations.
Professional judgment + consistencyWhatever your background, the actual work in this role is AI image evaluation. Your languages and experience can help you show what you can do; whether you're a fit is up to Mercor's assessment.
03 / YOUR NEXT STEP
You'll apply on Mercor's official site. This page helps you get oriented; it doesn't replace Mercor's assessment.
Use the referral link to check the latest listing and requirements, then upload your resume and fill in your profile.
RESUMEWork through Mercor's checklist, including the domain expert interview, bilingual competency, and work eligibility steps, then submit.
INTERVIEW & ASSESSMENTSComplete the onboarding test as scheduled by Mercor. The listing shows US$20 for the test; pass it to move on to project work at US$30/hour.
ONBOARDINGPrepare one example where you spotted a problem, compared options, and explained a decision. Practice telling it in English: what you noticed, what you based it on, and why you made that call.
Preparation tips are my own. Interviews, test invitations, and task assignments depend on your application and Mercor's notices. Applying or interviewing doesn't mean you're hired.
04 / GOOD TO KNOW
Know the terms first,
then make the call that fits you.
No. The listed requirements are fluent English, a sharp eye for visual detail, and clear written reasoning. No specific degree is required. You can come from any field, but you still need to pass Mercor's assessments.
The listing requires fluent English, and the application checklist includes a Bilingual Competency step. It doesn't spell out which second language or what level is expected for each, so confirm in Mercor's application flow. Don't assume any two languages will qualify.
It's the listed hourly rate for project work, not a fixed salary or guaranteed hours. The onboarding test pays US$20, listed as paid whether or not you pass; you need to pass to get project work. Actual workload, billable work, and payment follow your contract and project needs.
No. The listing says Remote but doesn't name eligible countries. Mercor's referral policy says that when a listing doesn't specify a region, it defaults to the US, Canada, the UK, or the EU. If you're elsewhere, confirm your eligibility with Mercor before putting time into your application. The listing also notes it can't currently support H-1B or STEM OPT candidates.
Read Mercor's location and referral policyIt's an independent contractor engagement, not employment. The listing says you can work remotely on your own schedule, with weekly payment via Stripe or Wise for services provided. Projects may be extended, shortened, or ended early depending on needs or performance.
This page is put together by Jeremy. The information and referral are free; there's no fee and no promise of being hired. This is an independent referral page, not Mercor's official recruiting site. Mercor handles applications, assessment, hiring, and work assignments. Submit your resume and details directly to Mercor; this page doesn't collect resumes or contact information.
