micro1 review: is it legit, and who gets accepted?
micro1 recruits experts, including doctors and lawyers, and screens them with its own AI interview; contracts and pay in US dollars run through Deel.

What is applying like?
It starts with a job post. You apply to a specific role on micro1's jobs board. Many doctor posts say US only, and many lawyer posts ask for bar admission in a US jurisdiction.
Then an AI interview. micro1 screens candidates with its own AI interview platform. Its Candidate Terms call it the micro1 Zara Platform, and you accept those terms before you interview.
Contracts and pay run through Deel. If you're selected, you sign a contract through Deel, micro1's payroll platform, and Deel checks your ID. micro1 says it pays in USD on a bi-monthly basis.
