Received an offer but contract stuck on review

Four days ago I received an offer which I accepted and completed the step necessary for a contract within two hours of receiving the offer. However, the contract has been stuck on "Under Review". On the platform everything regarding the contract show as completed. When I followed up when 48 hours had elapsed, I am getting confusing messages. Initially I received an email to complete ID verification which I have already completed.I email support@mercor.com and received an email from the AI Assistant Melvin that everything is fine I should not worry activation is imminent. When I followed up today, Melvin say my ID verification is blocked and provided a link that take me to the same platform where everything appear completed fine. When I raise that, Melvin say he has escalated the issue and should received a response within a business day. Problem is that I received that same response two days ago but no one got back to me. I am confused because I really do not now the status of my contract. Anyone who can help. A person perhaps

Constant baiting by recruiters

Last week (May, 4), I received this email:

My name is Pedro, I'm a recruiter at micro1. We're moving quickly to finalize candidates for Financial Due Diligence Analyst, Financial Data Privacy Analyst by end of day.

The positions are fully remote with flexible hours. If you're interested, apply below and take the AI interview. The whole process is quick.

  1. Financial Due Diligence Analyst
  2. Financial Data Privacy Analyst

Best,
Pedro

I applied and took the interview both of which are "Satisfactory Interview" since then despite the promise to finalize by of end of day.

On Friday I received a replica of the same email:

My name is Andrew, I'm a recruiter at micro1. We're moving quickly to finalize candidates for Accounting and Audit Office Specialist by end of day.

The position are fully remote with flexible hours. If you're interested, apply below and take the AI interview. The whole process is quick.

  1. Accounting and Audit Office Specialist 

Best,
Andrew

I did not take the interview because it seem I am being baited into interviewing. The positions in the first email are still outstanding and not finalized but there is a new position they are dying to finalize. I accepted that there might have been a delay in finalizing the two positions in the first email, but sending a second email with similar wording tells me this is an entrenched practice to create imaginary urgency to meet goals than genuine effort to finalize positions.

I wrote in a post earlier this week about this kind of practice by recruiters. It seems like there is a push to achieve a certain number of interviews. This practice seem dishonest. I have 62 vetted skills that cover most of the Accounting and Audit office specialist requirements. My field is quant finance with strong emphasis on financial engineering and risk management but among the recommended positions on my profile is Marriage and Family Therapist. Last week there was a position for a Financial Analysts with a risk management focus was posted under urgent positions here on reddit. I was not invited to apply despite being in line with my profile. But someone thinks I would make a better family therapist and a Resort Clerk Desk Clerk despite the obvious disconnect with my skills and experience.

Differing experiences on Micro1 platform

Our experiences here are not mutually exclusive and are genuine, deserving proper treatment. I have not had a great experience in the 5 months I have been here. I have applications in "Satisfactory Interview" for quite some time. However, good things have happened to others.

I personally know people who have been hired here. I truly believe those reporting negative experiences, including the "free AI training for the model" is not sour grapes but unmet expectations.

Therefore, we can not dismiss our experiences. Positive experiences are not people placed to counter the negative responses, just different experience.

Just because I don't like the response I get from Micro1 does not make it an AI-generated response, just evasive corporate speak.

Micro1 can do with better processes and communication. "Satisfactory Interview" and "Hiring Manager Review" both have a 30 day upper limit. Technically, 60 days if each is allowed to reach the upper limit. Adding the people who report that weeks after signing a contract and not hearing back. This process can run for months. Technically. Better communication and tampered emails from recruiters raising unrealistic expectations might be a good start.

I have amassed 51 vetted skills and no offers. Currently have two interviews on 'Under review' and two on "Satisfactory interview". and one "awaiting next steps". My experience after 25 interviews is as follows: Everything under review will turn to "Did Not Qualify" tomorrow. Of the "Satisfactory interview", they will all turn to "Not Selected" after 30 days. Of the Satisfactory interview jobs none has ever moved to 'Hiring Manager Review', stayed there a long time and then 'Not Selected' . Question is, why not state outright that one did not qualify instead of the false hope. Also, what is the point of 30 days waiting when the outcome seem to be known. I have done enough interview to confirm this trend.
