    At Martian, we are fortunate to work with many of the world's most advanced users of AI. We see the problems they face on the leading edge of AI and collaborate closely with them to overcome these challenges. In this first of a three-part series, we share a view into the future of prompt engineering we refer to as Automated Prompt Optimization (APO). In this article we summarize the challenges faced by leading AI companies including Mercor, G2, Copy.ai, Autobound, 6sense, Zelta AI, EDITED, Supernormal, and others. We identify key issues like model variability, drift, and “secret prompt handshakes”. We reveal innovative techniques used to address these challenges, including LLM observers, prompt co-pilots, and human-in-the-loop feedback systems to refine prompts. We invite the broader AI community to collaborate with us on research in this area. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to us! https://lnkd.in/eyvfEe2X #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #PromptEngineering #APO #MachineLearning #AIResearch #Collaboration #Innovation #ModelVariability #ModelDrift #LLM #FutureOfAI #AICommunity #HumanInTheLoop #AIChallenges #AIsolutions

    One question we often get is... why does Mercor have an AI interview instead of a human interview? Many of you must be wondering 🤔 what the benefits of the AI interview are. Well, let us break it down 👇 The first reason for this is equality of opportunity. In manually run job application processes, the majority of candidates are discarded based on their resume alone, and never get to take an interview, because finding and training interviewers is costly and time consuming ⌛ Because we don't have to find and train interviewers, Mercor is able to offer every candidate an opportunity to speak to their skills in interview, which allows us to do 5,000 interviews per day 🤯 The second reason for this is objectivity. Just as not all applicants are the same, not all human interviewers are the same! By not having to make sure that each human interviewer is properly trained and ready for each interview, Mercor is able to ensure the same standard of interview and analysis at each interview ✅ Want to take an AI interview?

    Many interviews don’t give candidates the opportunity to shine. Interviewers often ask questions that are intimidating and bear little relevance to the role the candidate is applying for or their past experience. Mercor’s AI interview gives all candidates an opportunity to show the technical skills and expertise gained from past work. This is why SOUMYO NATH TRIPATHY, an Institute Of Engineering and Management student, enjoyed his AI interview. Want to try it out? Schedule an AI interview today at work.mercor.com

    One question we frequently get is... how long does it take to get matched with job opportunities? 💼 Here's a quick rundown of how applicant processing and matching works behind the scenes. 👇 As soon as you are added to our talent pool, our placements team reviews your application to check if your skills match any of the jobs we are currently recruiting for. If you're a good fit, we send you an email 📥 to gauge your interest, and if you're interested, we initiate the next steps in the vetting process for that job ⏭ You can read more about what that entails in our previous post here: https://lnkd.in/gbSNVi3s What if your skills aren't a good match for any of the jobs we're currently looking for? No worries! Once you're added to our talent pool, you're never removed from it 😅. That means that your profile will always be visible to our clients! How many clients do we have? Mercor has placed talent with over 50 companies, from YC-backed startups to leading AI unicorns 🦄, and that number is just the beginning! We have an entire team dedicated to finding more opportunities for people in the Mercor talent pool 🤩. Want to try and get into the Mercor talent pool? Apply at work.mercor.com

    One question we often get is what the process looks like for someone in our talent pool 🌍 after a company expresses interest in their profile. Here's a quick explainer 👇 First, you'll never be asked for a resume or basic details about yourself 📜 . Companies have access to your Mercor profile which has your resume details as well as your AI interview. Just keep your Mercor profile updated and every company will automatically have access to the latest version! 🕓 Second, if a company expresses interest in your profile, you'll receive an email about the opportunity and receive complete clarity about what the vetting process looks like to be considered. 💼 By asking companies to shortlist applicants, we ensure you're only matched with high-quality opportunities where the company is genuinely interested in hiring you. ✏ Here is what we commonly see for the different types of companies we work with 🏢 : For startups, the vetting process after someone's Mercor profile has been shortlisted will usually consist of one or two 30-minute verbal interviews with the team. 🤝 The process sometimes includes a short take-home assessment for candidates that make it to the absolute final stages. 📎 For large enterprises, we've seen that the process usually includes two to three highly technical interviews where you will be asked to do a task on the call. 📞 For example, enterprises hiring software engineering talent have had a focus on DSA-style interviews where candidates are asked to complete coding questions in real-time. ⏰ One of our goals at Mercor is making our AI vetting as awesome as possible so that companies don't have to rely on conducting their own interviews and candidates aren't asked to spend time on long application cycles. 🚀
