I have seen ton of posts questioning if micro1 is legit and about its interview process, I have to agree the interview process might be deal breaker for a lot. I myself have applied for 22 roles by now (some still pending review) and got stuck in same Hiring Manager Review, Reviewing, Not Selected, Did Not Quality loop and no joke I started losing hope and questioning if this site is actually genuine.
Until last week when micro1 dropped Partial Interview update and I got selected for one of the project. This gave me lot more confidence for the platform and I contributed to the project for a week and finally yesterday I got paid for my work along with a bonus, The team was generous enough to acknowledge the work I had put in (The amount doesn't matter, the acknowledgement does). I am really grateful for this opportunity and wanted to take a moment to actually make a vouch if it can give others some more clarity about micro1.
The project is almost over so back to same loop i guess😅 but will be looking forward to working more for sure. Good luck to all of you for getting selected on the roles you apply!
I have appeared for almost 12 interviews, 5 are still "Hiring Manager Review" plus 1 just turned "not selected". There is 19 skills that are added to my certified vetted talent pool, having 12 years of domain expertise in quality, speech analytics, data annotation (video/audio/text/transcripts), stakeholder management, ai training, model/llm output validation, team leadership, data governance, PII review, document review.
Even after all this and being domain expert in above mentioned skills, I am not being selected (just passing the zara ai interview) and after today (since 1 "1 hiring manager review" turned "not selected") it feels like that all of the remaining ones will end like the same after 30 days. I don't know what else they require.
I was selected! I just finished signing my contract and a little confused on how to get started with work. Is there an email I should expect? How do I know what my micro1 email is?
Hey all, hoping to get some perspective from people who’ve actually landed contracts through micro1.
I’m a software engineer and I’ve applied to around 25 roles on the platform so far (3 still pending review). Most of these are software engineering positions. Over time my verified skills have built up to the point where interviews are noticeably shorter now, the AI clearly has more to go on and moves through screening faster. But none of that has translated into an actual contract yet.
At this point I’m not sure if it’s:
- Volume/competition on the specific roles I’m going for
- Something about how I’m framing my experience in the profile vs. what verified skills alone can show
- Timing (roles filling before review finishes)
- Something else entirely in how client matching works on the backend
If anyone’s gone through a similar dry spell and figured out what actually moved the needle, whether it’s tweaking your profile, picking different role categories or something about how the platform surfaces you to clients, I’d really appreciate the pointers. Also curious if 25 applications with no contract is normal for this platform right now or a red flag I should be worried about.
Thanks in advance.
I've just received one of the "Great work on your interview" emails. I'm flattered, even though I know it's not the same as a contract, yet (or possibly, ever)
Thing is, it doesn't say what job it's for, and since I took 4 interviews over the last week, it would be nice to get even a tantalising hint or two.
Oh well, we'll see what tomorrow brings, or not.
Good fun, this 😁💰🥂
I have a contract with micro1 but now I received another one to sign. Everything seems the same except for (surprise, surprise!) the payment rate, which is lower. Is it a standard practice to have a few contracts with different rates, perhaps for different clients, or is it micro1's way to try and bump down the rate? (It goes without saying it's bad form if the latter!) Thanks!
Just passed my interview! Looking forward to working with y’all. 🙌
Hi everyone,
i signed the contract, completed verification and replied the mail saying ‘contract agreement signed yet’, but no feedback yet.
Has anyone noticed changes in micro1 interviews after the recent platform updates?
I’ve been on micro1 since January, have already worked on a project through the platform, and have accumulated 70+ vetted skills from previous successful interviews.
Since the recent updates, though, my interview results seem noticeably different from before. I used to pass interviews regularly, while recently the outcomes have become much less consistent despite using the same approach and answering questions in the same way.
I’m mainly curious whether other long-term users have noticed a change in interview evaluation, scoring, or how previously vetted skills are being taken into account since the updates.
Has anyone else noticed a clear difference compared with a few months ago?
Just wanted to give a shoutout to the Micro1 team for a recent improvement...
On the Talent Dashboard, we can now request detailed feedback for roles we didn’t qualify for. I think this is a great addition because it gives candidates something actionable to work on instead of simply knowing that they weren’t selected.
I had previously seen the Community Managers mention that the team was working on this enhancement and I just received my detailed feedback email. I was genuinely impressed with how clearly it outlined the areas I could improve and more importantly what I could do differently to better meet the evaluation criteria in future interviews... now this makes the preparation process much more intentional. Instead of guessing what went wrong we can get a clearer direction on what to improve for the next similar opportunity !!
A big shoutout to the #Engineering, #Product & #Customer Support/Community teams for bringing this into the Talent Dashboard.
Thank you for making the Micro1 experience more transparent and helping candidates prepare better moving forward !!
Keep up the great work guys 🙌
Hello,
I recently got hired at micro1, finished the onboarding steps and ready to start. I am facing an issue with bank payouts setiing, I cannot setup a direct bank transfer through payoneer. The issue is, I already have a payoneer account and the confirmation link points me to a registration page, when I close it, the payout method is in pending state and it asks me to finish a setup in payoneer, keep in mind my bank account is also associated in my payoneer.
I appreciate any guidance.
Thank you
Hi everyone,
I just received a notification that my contract is now live on Micro1!
For those who have been through this process, or for anyone from the team who can guide me: how soon after the contract goes live can I expect to start working on the project, and what are the next steps for onboarding?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Just received that. Done everything as requested. Next cause.
Hi everyone,
I noticed a significant difference between the compensation shown on a Micro1 job card and the range shown on the detailed job description for the same role.
The job card shows a much higher annual compensation range, while the detailed description shows a lower base salary range.
Does anyone know which figure applicants should actually use when entering their expected hourly rate? And does the higher figure represent total compensation including equity/bonuses?
Thanks!

After many "Not selected" and "Did not qualify", I've done my first job and get the first payout from micro1!
I was selected for a Micro1 AI Trainer project paying $140 for 30 selfies + 10 videos.
The contract gives Micro1/customers broad, perpetual and sublicensable rights to use my facial/biometric data for AI training, including modification and derivative works.
Has anyone done this project?
What did they actually use the data for?
Can they create synthetic/AI-generated versions of your likeness?
Can you request deletion afterward?
Would you personally accept $140 for these terms?
