rate as listed

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

Design realistic HR and people operations tasks used to evaluate AI systems, along with reference materials and objective grading criteria. The work draws on hands-on experience in payroll, workforce planning, policy application, or employee lifecycle operations.

The work

You will turn real HR workflows into multi-step evaluation tasks that require judgment rather than simple lookup. Day-to-day work may involve drafting task instructions, building payroll or headcount files, preparing policy documents or employment agreements, and defining what a correct output must contain.

What micro1 screens for

The role-specific AI interview looks for direct ownership of HR operations, not supervisory-only or adjacent exposure. Expect to explain how you have applied policies, managed payroll or workforce processes, reconciled spreadsheets and documents, and created standards that another practitioner could follow. Strong English required (B2 minimum, C1 preferred). HR certification (SHRM, CIPD, PHR or equivalent) and AI or LLM evaluation experience are preferred, not required.

Evaluation judgment

A central part of the role is writing grading criteria that allow two qualified reviewers to reach the same verdict. You will need to distinguish legitimate professional judgment from ambiguity, create realistic supporting materials, and flag tasks that cannot be graded reliably rather than submitting them unchanged.

Logistics

The contract is fully remote and open globally. Work appears task-based and largely asynchronous, with approximately 10 hours expected per task and delivery against agreed schedules and quality requirements. Pay band: $45–90/hr

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 experience involved hands-on operational ownership rather than only managing a team or advising from a distance.
A strong answer: Describe one defined process, your personal actions, the records or systems involved, and a decision whose correctness could be verified. Separate your contribution from work performed by colleagues.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing department-wide responsibilities without identifying a workflow they personally executed or approved.
