Mercor is organizing human intelligence to power the AI economy. We are powering frontier research, AI benchmarks, and AI agent training at scale for the top AI labs and enterprises. Backed by General Catalyst and Menlo.
About the role
As the Recruiting Operations Specialist for Mercor NYC, you will own the operational core of how we hire — scheduling, Ashby, candidate experience, and on-sites — and you will be expected to automate the parts that shouldn’t require a person. Your remit is to define the core workflow, then build the systems that run it.
What they're looking for
- Be the person candidates remember, at every stage — clear, fast, and human
- Automate the prep, not the warmth: interviewer packets, candidate prep, and follow-ups that fire on the right trigger without anyone remembering to send them
- Own post-offer coordination and the handoff into onboarding
- 3+ years of experience in project management, recruiting operations, HR operations, or similar roles
- Fluent in an ATS (we use Ashby) and fast on unfamiliar tools
- You already use AI daily and have built something with it. A scheduling automation, a sourcing workflow, a script that cleans your own data, a prompt library your team relies on
