Review paired AI-generated in-product copy for voice, tone, and compliance with editorial standards. Choose the stronger sample, give a one-line rationale, and apply the appropriate tags.

The work

You will compare pairs of short AI-generated product copy designed to be skimmed rather than read closely. For each pair, you will select the stronger sample, assess voice and tone against editorial standards, write a one-line reason for your choice, and apply tags.

Screening and calibration

Mercor is looking for candidates who have shaped in-product voice and tone at a major tech or consumer product company and have experience rating or rewriting AI-generated text against editorial standards. The screen is likely to test whether you can cite specific product-writing decisions, apply standards consistently to close comparisons, and explain a preference without turning the rationale into a rewrite. You must also clear a calibration gate before reviewing live data.

Schedule and logistics

The pilot requires 5 hours/day for 5 business days, with the possibility of an ongoing month-to-month engagement afterward. The listing does not specify whether the work is remote or asynchronous.

Pay band: $75/hr

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether you personally shaped a product voice system rather than only producing copy within standards created by someone else.
A strong answer: Name the product context, your exact ownership, the voice principles you established or revised, and one concrete interface decision those principles changed. Clarify who approved the work and where the standards were used.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by discussing brand marketing or campaign copy without showing responsibility for language inside a product experience.
