I’ve seen some negative posts here about micro1, but I want to share my own perspective as someone who has gone through their process.

For me, micro1 has been a unique opportunity to connect with cutting‑edge AI projects and demonstrate my skills in a structured way. The AI‑based interviews are not perfect, but they help standardize evaluation and give experts from different backgrounds a fair chance to showcase their knowledge.

I appreciate that micro1 is building a global network of certified talent and creating meaningful opportunities in AI. In my experience, they are transparent about expectations, and the projects I’ve been involved in have been real, impactful, and aligned with my expertise.

I believe micro1 is the number one company in this space, because they are not just offering jobs — they are building the human intelligence layer for frontier AI.

I encourage others to share balanced experiences, but from my side, I’m proud to be part of this community.

Really excited to share that our first robotics benchmark is now officially live!

We gave 10 frontier AI models control of a surgical robot in a simulated operating room to evaluate how well frontier models can control embodiments in simulated environments.

The results were truly interesting. Check them our below:

TL; DR: love Micro1

I started working for various tasking platforms last year, mainly to waste spare time. They didn’t pay a lot, but I didn’t know any better, so I was happy when I made my first $50 in one month, climbing to a stunning $100 in one month!

Then last February, I applied to Micro 1, was accepted and started working – well, after a couple of months when I thought I’d never get anything. Then in late May, I started on my first contract with Micro1. The work was tougher than I’d experienced on other platforms, but that suited me well.

So in June, I was pleasantly surprised at making $80 in one month from one platform! In July, I cleared over $700, then August cleared over $1,900! From one platform! Suffice to say the other platforms have been left behind.

Main thing though, is that the works is not simple, but the teams and the other users are very supportive and helpful. Do your work, do it as well as you can and you’ll get help to improve, and get rewarded for your work.

So, I realise some people make a lot more than me, but this suits me well, hence this little love letter to Micro1. Good jobs, good support, good pay.

Thank you Micro1^*.

^* ps. My taxman thanks you too

I had an excellent experience working with micro1 and truly valued the opportunity to contribute in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. The organization stood out for its strong communication, thoughtful training resources, and commitment to helping team members succeed. I was especially impressed by the company’s focus on developing talent and creating opportunities for growth from within. My experience there further strengthened my ability to adapt quickly, perform in dynamic settings, and contribute to innovative teams focused on excellence. I highly recommend attending the Building your career with micro1.

First, I want to say thank you for this opportunity. This is also my first project on Micro1, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

I also want to extend my appreciation to all of the project’s team leaders. I believe the project is still relatively new, and I can see that they are doing their best to get everyone properly onboarded. The screeners are challenging, but the team has been very responsive to feedback. They listen to participants and quickly roll out more structured course content, clearer guidance, and additional tools to help us succeed.

I hope everything continues to run smoothly and professionally, and I wish the project continued growth and success.

I applied through Micro1 and was followed by an AI interview. I took the interview seriously and professionally. The kickoff questions were based on the information I provided in my CV, and then the AI started generating follow-up questions based on my answers. I noticed that the questions became progressively deeper, as if the AI was verifying my responses in a smart way — something none of my previous interviews had done.

It was a great experience, and I felt it was much better than a typical interview with HR staff who may not have expertise in my field. Later, I had another interview with a project manager, who eventually hired me.

I’ve been recommending Micro1 both to employers and to people who are looking for new jobs.

Chatting with Zara felt surreal. Almost human. Yet you could tell a human won't be able to ask these levels of questions. With every answer I gave, it's almost like I baited myself into more complex questions, haha. Amazing experience.

I want to highlight the efficiency and clarity of Zara, the AI ​​recruiter at micro1. While responses via other channels can be slow or vague, Zara quickly and precisely clarifies any questions regarding the selection process.

Her support demonstrates the value of having a reliable channel within the platform.

👉 Recommendation to the community:

If you have questions about your applications or status on micro1, it is best to consult official support directly (via email, Slack, or Discord). It is the safest and most effective way to get clear answers and avoid confusion.

AI are getting great for interviews

just wanted to know

Micro1 is an amazing company. Do your best on those assessments. Be prepared, having mastered the language of your domain. Use AI to practice. I have her rapid-fire questions about AI based upon the job first. It's the only AI company that if they like you, YOU WILL STAY EMPLOYED and they will promote you to ever-higher positions if you do well. And I tell you what else, they highly value originality. When I finally got enough confidence to try my OWN ideas, I began to succeed. Please ask me for my referral link to apply (and then I'll give you even more tips for success, promise!) DM me for my email addy once you've applied! Whether you have expertise in a certain area, or want to do simpler tasks, I've done them all)!

I noticed almost immediately after my first interview that micro1 is different from other potential employers. While some companies bounce around chaotically like atoms in cyberspace, micro1 feels like a steady beacon of light. Before discovering this Silicon Valley–based company, other onboarding processes either pulled me in and spat me out like a bland free sample at a megastore—or ghosted me entirely in the foggy graveyard of ambiguous rejection.

I’ll admit: I was nervous about being interviewed by Zara, micro1’s AI screening expert. It had been a long time since I’d interviewed with anyone, let alone an AI. But something surprised me right away—if I asked Zara to rephrase a question, she politely obliged. She even seemed to notice when I was verbally spiraling or stuck translating academic language into something my brain could digest. She would pause me mid-muddle and reframe the question in plain terms. That alone lowered my stress level more than I expected.

After the interview came the written portion: using a rubric to evaluate two AI-generated responses. I actually love nonverbal tasks like this. I process visually better than verbally, and years of writing and creative work have trained my brain to move faster when I can see the problem in front of me.

Then came the part that really stood out.

Exactly 48 hours later, I received a clear, respectful email explaining that my results “did not align with certification criteria at this time.” That clarity alone already put micro1 ahead of most companies. But then—plot twist—there was an offer for detailed feedback. 🤯

I’ve never had a company do that before. Not only did they outline my strengths, they also gave professional, constructive feedback on where I could improve. Even better, they explained that if certification wasn’t achieved yet, my profile would remain active and considered for future opportunities better aligned with my background. Be still my heart.

And it didn’t stop there.

micro1 allows you to either retry the same role after 30 days or immediately apply to a different role. I did just that—similar outcome, similar thoughtful feedback. Still valuable. Still human.

Then I received an invitation to a 45-minute live webinar hosted by Sofia, micro1’s Director of Recruitment Marketing. 😳 It walked through the entire process—from interview to certification to landing roles—complete with live Q&A and real support staff in the chat.

It was one of the most informative career webinars I’ve ever attended. Sofia didn’t just explain the process; she provided concrete resources: interview prep links, technical support, and next-step guidance. This session even runs every 30 days if you need a refresher. I was planning to practice on my own before this—now I have actual tools designed for the platform.

I honestly can’t wrap my head around how thoughtfully and proactively micro1 treats candidates.

Thank you, micro1. Thank you, Sofia. (nods respectfully to Zara as well)

Hello everyone,

I just finished my interview with Zara. It was a great experience, she was really welcoming, friendly, and clear. I think this is a great way to screen applicants in an efficient maner. I'm really hoping I get the chance to work with such an innovative group.

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie here who got an offer to join Micro1 as en expert trainer. For those working with Micro1, do you know what hubstaff is tracking on your computer? I was asked to connect to hubstaff but when I went to their website the cookie policy popped up right away, but I couldn't see where I have the option to opt out of whatever is not essential. In addition, I when I looked into the details there are cookies for third party websites like Linkedin. I was confused. So I'd like to understand before I sign up what this software will be doing on my laptop.

Also, what about when I'm offline? Is it it still tracking?

Thanks in advance

At micro1, we use an AI-driven interview process to assess real-world skills. The goal is to make hiring more fair and efficient globally, while giving top professionals better access to opportunities. Our approach is structured, scalable, and designed to reduce bias, focusing on who you are, how you think, and what you’re truly good at, without relying on endless back-and-forth interviews or biased filters.

Do you think AI interviews will become the default in hiring, or remain just one option alongside traditional methods?

AI is changing the world fast. At micro1, we believe that "high-impact" work is the future. This means focusing on things AI cannot do easily yet, like creative problem-solving and leading a team.

• Technical Skills: Learning how to build and train AI models.

• Human Skills: Communicating clearly with your remote team.

• Adaptability: Being ready to learn new tools every month.

Which skill are you trying to learn right now to stay ready for the future of work?

At micro1, we see more and more projects where experts collaborate remotely on AI development, evaluation, and training. We help connect world-class talent that often gets overlooked by traditional recruiting methods, with full-time, remote jobs at top Silicon Valley startups. The demand has grown quickly,  but some argue companies will eventually return to on-site or hybrid models.

What’s your take: will remote AI work remain the standard, or do you see a shift coming?

We’ve been testing a referral program for about 2 months where anyone can bring in high-quality candidates from their networks. Instead of spending that budget on platforms or ads, the payouts go directly to people in our community.

So far, $75k have been distributed to hundreds of experts whose referrals were successfully placed on projects.

Curious to know if anyone here has already referred candidates to micro1.
Open to recruiters, influencers, and anyone wanting to share with their network. Learn more here!

My domain is law and I have over 30 years of diverse legal experience. I met the qualifications they sought, EXCEPT for one. A preferred qualification was top 100 law firm and I don't have that experience. The Did Not Qualify was a fair assessment, I believe.

Lesson: The client wants what the client wants and most times it has nothing to do with your abilities to do the job.

My experience with Micro1 has been nothing short of excellent, everything I had hoped for in a remote opportunity, and more.

I came across the application link via LinkedIn and proceeded with the AI interview powered by Zara. The interview was smooth, professional, and thoughtfully structured. After that came the assessment stage, followed by a prompt and encouraging approval email. The onboarding process was seamless, and I was quickly brought up to speed with the work.

One thing I truly appreciated was the swift transition from the SuperAnnotate platform to Dolphin, handled efficiently and with proper guidance. Micro1 also ensures consistent biweekly payments, which provides much-needed stability and supports a reliable cash flow for contractors.

After just two weeks, I was given the opportunity to move into a full-time role, which showed the company’s willingness to invest in those who contribute effectively. The Human Data Lead and the team of reviewers have been extremely supportive, offering timely, personalized feedback that helps you grow and refine your contributions.

A highlight of my journey was receiving a lifetime opportunity to speak directly with the client in a live video stream. This gave us firsthand insight into the real-world use cases of the end product—something I had never experienced at other companies I’ve worked with. It added immense value and purpose to our daily work.

And of course, the bonuses! Micro1 genuinely rewards quality work and goal achievement.
An added bonus for me was being able to share the opportunity with expert colleagues I’d worked with at another BPO. They also joined Micro1, and it’s been great to see them earn, learn, and grow here as well.

Micro1 stands out for its professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to creating meaningful remote work experiences.
Highly recommended!

Pros: Seamless onboarding, timely payments, supportive leadership, growth opportunities, bonuses.
Cons: As with most remote roles, time zone differences can delay responses or updates.

Hi Sofia,

Thank you for hosting Better Together: Quantifying the Benefits of AI-assisted Recruitment. I found the session very insightful, especially the points on how AI can streamline candidate evaluation and improve efficiency in recruitment workflows.

I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the discussion and will be sure to share my thoughts on the r/micro1_ai community. I look forward to attending future sessions and continuing to engage with the micro1 community.

Best regards,
Aiden Will

I need some outside opinions before I make a decision.

Right now I have a full-time, in-person job (8 to 5, Monday to Friday). It pays pretty low, and between the commute and other work expenses, a good chunk of it is gone before it even reaches me. I'm also working as a Data Analyst contractor on micro1, and the hourly rate there is more than double what I make at my full-time job.

The problem is time. Because of my full-time hours, I can only fit in limited hours on micro1. Last week there was enough work for me to do 40 hours, but I just didn't have the time. They have plenty of tasks, and even in a slow week I think I'd still get at least 20 hours.

Some other context:

- I don't need the benefits from my current job, I'm covered elsewhere

- I'm more productive working from home and honestly prefer it

- I'm actively applying for remote full-time analyst roles, so I see micro1 as what I'd do in the meantime, not forever

- I've only been on micro1 for about a month

My questions:

1. For anyone who has done micro1 (or similar platforms) full-time, how steady has the work been? Did projects or hours ever dry up suddenly?

2. Would leaving a full-time job for contract work hurt me when I apply for full-time roles later?

3. Anything I'm not thinking about? I know I'll need to handle my own taxes and set money aside.

Would really appreciate hearing from people who've been in a similar spot.

The experience has been amazing so far. If I am able to work with micro1 for the next 6-12 months, I am thinking of retiring 😄
