Background

micro1 is the human data engine behind some of the world’s leading AI labs and enterprises. Using Zara, our AI recruiter, we source and vet top-tier global talent, ranging from generalists to PhDs, for post-training RLHF, SFT, evaluations, and more. We manage end-to-end human data operations: team curation, onboarding, compliance, quality control, and delivery, all optimized for accuracy and scale.

Challenge

A leading AI lab wanted to enhance its model’s understanding of business logic from advanced economics, to financial reasoning, to executive-level decision-making. They needed experts with deep domain knowledge and real-world insight to produce high-signal data.

Their initial goal was to onboard 10 elite contributors for a one-month pilot.

Solution

micro1 responded by quickly mobilizing a custom AI-curated team of 20 business experts — including PhDs, MBAs, and professors — from top universities worldwide. Within 3 weeks, we had vetted and certified 120 candidates, selecting the top 20 for deployment.

Despite the initial target of 10 hires, the client onboarded all 20 — a testament to the quality and readiness of our expert pool.

Execution

We supported the full data production workflow, including:

Expert onboarding & training (via micro1’s internal systems)

Real-time performance tracking through our Talent Performance Dashboard

Compliance checks, fraud prevention, and 24/7 QA

Continuous feedback loops via Slack channels and performance reviews

Every layer of the pipeline was built for precision — from sourcing to delivery.
