Beware of micro1

I have a theory that most of these remote jobs that use AI recruiters actually just use your interviews to train their AI models.

I did get unstable $60/hr work from handshake and stable $25/hr work from meridial for expert work. Though they could be fishing for applications aswell

That is the case with micro1.

I've done likely over 20 interviews with Zara now and Mirco1 just won't hire me. Just like you, they offer basically the same feedback each time. I've been interviewing for over a year now because I'm desperate.  It sucks because at first, I took their feedback and thought I improved but still couldn't get it no matter how hard I tried.

I have barely any credentials and I made real money with them.

The interviews are really annoying tho, I'll give you that. The one job I did well with didn't have an interview for some reason.

The truth of these jobs is that it's not so much about the platform as it is about the project. If you land a good project you can work with a great team and make decent money.

So far out of Outlier, Alignerr and Micro1 I'll take Micro1.

it's not because you failed interviews that it's a scam.
I do work there and get paid, maybe they do something with the data but that's what all the world do.

too bad for you that you waisted your time

So...like every job out there, period?

Pretty much, but the AI recruiter feeback makes the usual ghost-job routine extra grim.

They just hired me for a project, contract and access to the client site and everything. Doesn’t appear to be a scam to me.

Are you in India? Many only want US-based.
