Evaluate paired AI-generated CEO memos, all-hands updates and speeches for tone, information hierarchy and workplace suitability. Select the stronger sample, provide a one-line rationale and apply the required tags after passing calibration.

The work

You will review paired AI-generated executive communications, including CEO memos, all-hands updates and speeches. For each pair, you will decide which sample works better for a workplace audience, assess whether the opening gives a busy reader what they need, write a one-line reason for your choice and apply the relevant tags.

What the platform screens for

Mercor is looking for direct experience writing CEO memos, all-hands updates or speeches at a Fortune 500 company. Screening is likely to test whether you can identify effective executive tone, explain subtle preference decisions with specific textual evidence and maintain consistent judgment across similar examples. You must clear a calibration gate before reviewing live data.

Logistics

The pilot is scheduled for 5 hours per day across 5 business days. The listing says the work may then ramp into an ongoing month-to-month engagement, but it does not specify the later schedule. It also does not state whether the work is remote or fully asynchronous, so candidates should confirm those details with the platform.

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 verifies the required setting and tests whether the candidate can distinguish their own contribution from the broader communications process.
A strong answer: Identify the company context, communication format, executive audience, business moment and your specific drafting or editing responsibility. Explain one concrete choice you made because of what employees or leaders needed to understand.
Where people lose it: Describing general corporate communications work without establishing that the piece was a CEO memo, all-hands update or speech at a Fortune 500 company.
