$60–90/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Develop realistic federal Employee and Labor Relations scenarios, reference answers, and rationales for an AI evaluation project. Review other experts’ submissions for accuracy, policy grounding, and the nuances of federal HR decision-making.

The work

This remote contractor role focuses on creating federal HR scenarios and case studies grounded in practical Employee and Labor Relations experience. Day-to-day deliverables may include drafting reference answers, explaining the policy basis for recommendations, reviewing submissions from other subject-matter experts, and revising material to meet project guidelines and quality standards.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can discuss specific federal cases or responsibilities under follow-up, rather than relying on general HR knowledge. Relevant depth includes Title 5 matters, adverse actions, grievances, appeals, labor relations, classification, rating and ranking, workforce restructuring, and reduction in force processes. Expect to explain how you identify missing facts, distinguish policy requirements from best practice, and evaluate whether a proposed answer is defensible.

Logistics

The engagement is remote and structured as contractor work for a government-focused AI evaluation project. The listing does not disclose typical weekly hours, project duration, meeting requirements, or whether all work is asynchronous, so candidates should confirm those details with micro1 and state their availability accurately during screening.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed expertise is tied to verifiable federal duties, organizational settings, and case ownership rather than broad private-sector HR experience.
A strong answer: Give titles, agencies or government contexts where appropriate, dates or tenure, series or equivalent level, and the specific actions you handled or advised on. Clearly distinguish direct responsibility from oversight, observation, or adjacent work.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming broad HR functions without identifying the federal context, their own decision-making role, or examples of cases they actually handled.
