Evaluate and verify information about restaurants, hotels and travel experiences using written annotation guidelines. This remote role requires US residency and at least six months of rules-based annotation, rating, QA or fact-checking experience.

The work

You will complete short, defined annotation tasks about restaurants, hotels and travel experiences. Day-to-day work involves applying written guidelines, researching claims such as operating details or amenities, and using relevant travel, hospitality or dining knowledge without allowing personal preferences to override the rubric.

What the screening emphasizes

Mercor is likely to look for verifiable examples from at least six months of rules-based annotation, rating, QA or fact-checking. Expect follow-up questions about how you resolve conflicting sources, separate factual accuracy from subjective quality, document uncertain judgments and maintain consistency across similar cases.
