Human Intelligence Collector

$25–$65/h

Remote, US-based preferred.

Role overview

Role Title: Human Intelligence Collector


Role Type: Contractor (at least ~15 hs a week)


Location: Remote, US-based preferred.


micro1 is engaging Human Intelligence Collectors to contribute their expertise in elicitation and investigative questioning on a specialized customer project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is ideal for those with a background in complex interviewing or intelligence collection, and a keen ability to interpret subtle verbal and behavioral cues. Your written and verbal communication skills will play a pivotal role as you document your reasoning and analysis for technical and non-specialist audiences alike.


Scope of Work

  1. Conduct or assess structured elicitation and interview sessions to extract accurate and relevant information from varied subjects
  2. Establish rapport with participants to encourage open communication without applying pressure or coercion
  3. Analyze responses in real-time, reading tone, pacing, and nonverbal cues, and dynamically adjusting questioning strategies
  4. Assess the internal consistency, reliability, and potential evasiveness of responses, providing confidence assessments for each interaction
  5. Identify and annotate emotional and motivational drivers influencing participants' responses
  6. Document your analytical reasoning in a clear, traceable manner to support downstream review and learning
  7. Score or annotate sessions according to a detailed rubric, maintaining objectivity and consistency across multiple cases


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 3–5+ years of experience in professional interviewing, intelligence elicitation, or investigative questioning (e.g., military HUMINT, law-enforcement interviewing, skilled negotiation)
  2. Training in recognized interviewing methodologies such as the PEACE model, cognitive interviewing, or similar frameworks
  3. Expertise in real-time interpretation of paralinguistic and nonverbal cues (tone, pacing, hesitation, gestures)
  4. Demonstrated ability to clearly justify analytical reads in writing, not just by intuition
  5. Exceptional written English skills with a focus on clarity, precision, and defensibility
  6. Experience working with diverse populations or through interpreters
  7. Familiarity with data annotation, AI model evaluation, or after-action/assessment report writing

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
