What the pay looks like right now
The August 2026 board clusters into the same bands micro1 has run all year: generalist evaluation at $20–$40/hr, credentialed domain specialists (finance, law, IT) at $55–$75/hr, and engineering at the top. The notable shift is how many $60+/hr professional-specialist listings are open at once — if you have a real credential (CPA, JD, licensed IT, etc.), position for those rather than generalist work.
How to apply
- One tight profile. Pick one or two domains and own them. A profile claiming five specialties gets matched to $25/hr generalist work instead of the $60–$75/hr specialist listings above.
- Block 30 minutes for the AI interview. It's the real gate. Concrete examples with metrics pass; vague answers fail. Our getting-accepted playbook covers the prep.
- Expect a listing-specific check. After the interview, individual roles may add a short skill test. Pass-through is high if you've made it that far.
The $3,000 referral program
micro1 pays a flat $3,000 for each person you refer who is hired and completes 10+ hours of paid work — not a percentage, and there's no cap on how many you can refer. You don't even have to work on micro1 yourself to participate, which is unusual.
If you want to refer someone (or sign up through a referral yourself), use this link: refer.micro1.ai. A single high-tier conversion is $3,000 in your wallet; three is a meaningful side income.
Bottom line
micro1 remains the best first stop in 2026 — the volume means there's almost always a match for your background, and the board above proves how quickly it refreshes. Apply to a couple of the live listings, and if you have specialized credentials, run it in parallel with Mercor for the higher pay ceiling. Compare everything on the home page.
