I’m seeking to apply as a legal expert in Micro1 which includes Microsoft Teams. What do I need to bear in mind during my interview and beyond?

    The interview is not with a person on Teams. On micro1 it is a spoken, real-time interview with Zara, its AI recruiter, lasting 20 to 40 minutes (about 7 minutes per skill). A third-party guide, not micro1, says camera and screen sharing stay on throughout, so test your setup beforehand.

    To prepare:

    • Read the role's skill requirements first. Zara's questions are tailored to them, so apply to the role that matches the legal area you know best.
    • Practise answering open-ended questions out loud, with real examples of how you reason through legal problems.
    • Use a quiet place and your own laptop.

    What comes after:

    • You see a result at the end. If you meet the criteria, you verify your ID (passport, driver's license or national ID, scanned with your camera, plus a selfie; the name must match your application) and join the certified pool.
    • Certified means eligible, not placed. You get invitations and can apply to roles yourself. A strong interview may show as "Hiring manager reviewing" for up to 30 days, with no guarantee.
    • If selected, you sign a Deel contract, complete KYC and background check, and are paid in USD twice a month.
    • If you miss, you can request feedback from the dashboard.

    Nothing on record rules out Nigeria, but each role states where it takes people from. Several roles ask for a license or bar admission asks for a U.S. bar), so check that before applying. micro1 does not publish its pass criteria.

    • Paralegal: Paralegal route, needs 5+ years
    • Lawyer: Needs an active law license
    • Junior Transactional Attorney: For 1–3 years of transactional experience
