Common questions
What does the micro1 application process look like?
You start with a video interview with Zara, micro1's AI interviewer. Treat it like a video call: good light, clear sound and spoken answers to technical questions. A person reviews the recording, and some roles add a short skills test.
Can I apply to micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. micro1 accepts applicants from most countries. Most roles need strong written and spoken English.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Short, hands-on tasks such as recording videos, sorting images, rating AI answers or checking data. Most take 5 to 60 minutes each.
Can I choose my own hours?
Usually, yes. You log in when you want, pick up a task, finish it and submit it, with no meetings. Other people work from the same pool of tasks, so some days there may be no work until more is added.
What does Design work look like for a Graphic and Editorial Design Expert?
