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 passing makes you eligible to be 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 a rate on every role. Rates track scarcity: engineering listings sit in the middle of the range, and medical, legal and PhD-level work prices at the top. The live listings below show each rate as published, and the stats above are computed from them.

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 rate in their offer. 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, where the pay stats are computed live from the open listings. Engineering work sits in the middle of the range, and expert domains, medicine, law and PhD-level science, price at the top. A rate on a listing is what micro1 publishes, not a guarantee of hours.

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 join micro1’s talent pool, and micro1 offers projects from it as client demand arrives, at the rate stated in each offer. Some people are matched within days, some wait weeks and some are never placed; your specialty and score drive it. 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.
