​
Complete in any order

You no longer need to follow a strict sequence. If an application requires:
  • Upload Resume
  • Work Authorization
  • AI Interview
  • Written Assessment
You can finish these steps in whichever order works best for you.

​
Automatic syncing across applications

Steps you’ve already completed in other applications will automatically carry over to new ones. You’ll always see your progress and the number of steps left directly in the Applications tab of your Home dashboard. Completed steps never expire.
  • Example: Once you complete the AI Interview, any future applications that require it will already show this step as complete.

​
Pre-completed applications

Because of this syncing, you may notice that:
  • Some applications you haven’t started are already ready to submit. That just means you’ve shown interest in similar roles, but it’s completely up to you if you’d like to apply for this one too.
  • Applications you began earlier may become ready to submit without any extra action from you.
    • Example: If Application A only required a ‘Generalist Interview’ to finish, and you complete it for Application B, then Application A will automatically update and appear as “Ready to submit” in your dashboard.
Remember: You still need to click Submit for your application to be reviewed by project managers. Once submitted, your application will appear in the applications section with a green “Submitted” tag.

FAQs

​
How can I view the job listing description?

Click View Listing in the top-right corner of the left-hand panel.

​
Can I redo the application steps I’ve already completed?

  • You can always re-upload your resume and re-complete the work authorization.
  • Forms are final once submitted. Contact support@mercor.com for retakes only if essential.
  • Interviews can be retaken up to 3 times across all applications.
Example: If you retake Interview A twice in one application, you’ll only have one remaining attempt for Interview A in all other applications.

​
Can I use different resumes, interviews, or assessments for different applications?

No. These steps are synced across all applications. Once completed, they carry forward everywhere, so you only need to do them once.

​
How long are completed steps valid for?

Forever. For example, if you complete an interview in January, it will still count as valid in December.

​
What if something looks wrong with my application?

  • First, try refreshing your dashboard. It can take a few minutes for progress to sync.
  • If it still looks incorrect (e.g., an interview shows as incomplete even though you finished it):
    1. Double-check your Submitted applications tab to confirm it didn’t already carry over.
    2. If it’s still missing, contact support@mercor.com with the application name and the step that looks incorrect so our team can fix it quickly.

​
What happens if I upload a new resume or retake an interview after submitting an application?

  • Your submitted applications will automatically update with your most recent resume, interview, or form.
  • However, hiring managers may have already started reviewing your earlier version. To ensure they see your latest materials, update them before clicking Submit on new applications.

​
Can I edit an application after I’ve submitted it?

No. Submitted applications will automatically reflect your latest materials, but you cannot manually edit them once they’ve been submitted.

​
What happens if I use all interview attempts?

Once you’ve used all your interview attempts, you won’t automatically get more. You can reach out to support@mercor.com to ask about a possible retake, but this isn’t guaranteed and is only meant for technical or troubleshooting issues. The three retakes you already have are intended to cover those cases.
