What micro1 is

micro1 is an AI-vetted talent network. It began as an AI recruiter and grew into a supplier of vetted engineers and domain experts for AI training projects, growing past $100 million in annualized revenue by late 2025 on the back of lab demand. Its own AI interviewer, Zara, does the vetting.

That makes micro1 different from a task queue. You interview once, and if you pass you are matched to projects: model training, evaluation, and expert data work for labs and enterprises. Listings run from software engineering into medicine, law, writing and design, with rates published per role.

Engagements are remote, and most have no timezone requirement.

live listings publishing a rate

Computed from micro1’s own published rates on the live feed, not from survey estimates.

micro1 publishes rates per role. Engineering listings cluster around $30 to $50 an hour, with senior and specialist roles posting $100 to $175, and medical, legal and PhD-level work pricing at the top of the range. Rates on the live listings below are as published.

Who micro1 hires

Engineers first: software engineering is the deepest vertical, from hands-on coding roles to system-design evaluation. Around it sit domain-expert tracks, physicians, attorneys, data scientists, writers, designers, priced by scarcity like the rest of this market.

Experience requirements vary by listing rather than platform-wide. The constant is the vetting: every contributor passes the same structured AI interview, which is what micro1 sells to its clients as the quality bar.

How micro1 screens you

Screening is an interview with Zara, micro1’s AI interviewer. For engineering roles it is a real technical interview: you code and talk through system design live while the AI probes your choices, in any of 30-plus languages, at any hour. Domain-expert roles get the equivalent in their field.

It is proctored, the system flags reading answers from another screen, and it scores reasoning, not just results. Prepare for it like a human interview: think aloud, justify decisions, and do not recite. Candidates who practise explaining their choices to an AI interviewer beforehand walk in with the exact skill being measured.

Practise the micro1 screen before you take it

Skillora runs the same format: a domain interview with an AI interviewer, followed by feedback on how you explained your reasoning. Take it as many times as you want before the one that counts.

micro1, answered

Is micro1 legit?

Yes. micro1 is a real, fast-growing company supplying vetted talent to AI labs and enterprises, and contributors are paid for contracted project work at the listed rate. The gate is the Zara interview: it filters hard, which is precisely what clients pay micro1 for. Expect a real technical screen, not a formality.

How much does micro1 pay?

Published per role, visible on the listings above. Engineering work clusters around $30 to $50 an hour, senior and specialist engineering posts $100 to $175, and expert domains, medicine, law, PhD-level science, price at the top. Reported engineering averages sit near $38 an hour, pulled up by the specialist tail.

What is the Zara AI interview?

micro1’s AI interviewer. It runs a structured, recorded interview: live coding and system-design discussion for engineers, domain reasoning for experts, with adaptive follow-ups on your answers. It is proctored against reading from a second screen, works in 30-plus languages, and runs any hour. Your score determines matching, so it is the whole ballgame.

Can I retake the Zara interview?

micro1 allows re-attempts after a waiting period rather than unlimited retries, and your best preparation is before the first attempt. The interview scores how you explain decisions under follow-up questions. Rehearsing that format, reasoning aloud to an AI interviewer and getting feedback on the explanation, is the closest available practice to the real thing.

Do I need to be an engineer to join micro1?

No, but engineering is the deepest bench. Non-engineering listings cover medicine, law, data science, writing and design, each with its own version of the vetting interview. If your field is not listed today, the feed above updates daily; micro1 opens verticals as lab demand shifts.

What happens after I pass?

You enter the matched pool and micro1 places you on projects as client demand arrives, at the listed rate for your role. Time-to-first-project varies with your specialty and score. Matched work tends to be project-shaped, weeks to months, rather than task-queue piecework, which is the main lifestyle difference from Outlier or DataAnnotation.
