🥲 The Pain of Tech Hiring, Solved
If you've ever been involved in hiring software engineers, you know it's no walk in the park. Sifting through countless resumes, conducting technical interviews, assessing soft skills - it's a time-consuming and often hit-or-miss process.
In fact, check out this tweet from a Microsoft engineer - within just 24 hours of opening up their applications, they’ve gotten over 100,000 resumes submitted. The team gave up on reviewing profiles and went down a different path:
That's where Micro1 comes in. This California-based startup, founded in 2022, is harnessing the power of AI to streamline the entire software engineering recruitment process. From vetting candidates to managing payroll and benefits, Micro1 is taking the headache out of tech hiring.
🍝 GPT Vetting: The AI Secret Sauce
At the heart of Micro1's platform is what they call "GPT Vetting". This proprietary AI technology uses sophisticated algorithms to pre-screen software engineering candidates. Here's how it works:
Candidates complete AI-generated questionnaires and coding tests
The GPT Vetting software analyzes the responses
The AI recommends top candidates based on factors like required skills, coding languages, and even soft skills
It's like having a tireless recruiter who can objectively assess thousands of candidates in a fraction of the time it would take a human. And the results speak for themselves - Micro1 is able to screen 50,000 engineers per month, delivering the top 1% to their clients.
💼 A Comprehensive Talent Platform
But Micro1 isn't just about hiring. They offer an end-to-end solution for managing software engineering talent. Once a candidate is hired through the platform, Micro1 takes care of:

💵 Investors are Betting Big
The tech world is taking notice of Micro1's innovative approach. In their pre-seed funding round, the company raised a whopping $3.3 million, blowing past their initial $2 million target. The round was led by Dream Ventures, with participation from notable angel investors like Joshua Browder (DoNotPay), Cory Levy (Wilco), and Jason Calacanis.
This vote of confidence from the investment community speaks volumes about the potential of Micro1's AI-driven model. And they're not slowing down - the company is actively recruiting top engineering talent to fuel their own growth.
🤝 Partnering for Success
Micro1 isn't going it alone. They've formed strategic partnerships with staffing agencies to bring their AI interviewing capabilities to an even wider audience. One such partnership allows Micro1 to automate up to 10,000 interviews per month, drastically reducing recruitment costs for their partner.
They've also partnered with companies like Deel, Immutable, O'Gara, and LegalSoft to connect top-notch talent with exciting projects. It's a win-win - engineers get to work on cutting-edge technologies, and companies get access to pre-vetted, high-quality talent.
