Orbis AI vs micro1.

micro1 built an excellent AI interviewer — and pointed it at its own talent marketplace: engineers and AI trainers get vetted by "Zara," and companies hire from the pre-vetted pool.
Orbis AI points the AI interviewer at YOUR applicants. Whoever applies to your roles — through your career page, job boards, or a CSV import — gets screened through a scored pipeline and interviewed conversationally, with results you can open, audit, and send to hiring managers or clients.
They are complementary philosophies: buy access to a pre-vetted pool (micro1) versus turn your own applicant flood into evidence-backed shortlists (Orbis).

micro1 vs Orbis AI, answered
Everything teams usually ask before they let an AI run the first interview.
What is the difference between Orbis AI and micro1?
micro1 uses its AI interviewer to vet talent for its own marketplace — you hire from their pool. Orbis AI is the interviewer and pipeline for your own applicants: it screens every CV you receive, interviews qualified candidates conversationally, and manages the rest of the hiring flow.
Can Orbis AI run technical interviews like micro1?
Orbis generates role-specific questions for each opening — including technical roles — personalizes them per candidate, and scores transcripts on relevance, depth, accuracy, and communication with a three-model jury. For deep pair-programming assessment, dedicated coding platforms remain a complement.
Is Orbis AI or micro1 better for staffing agencies?
Agencies generally need to screen and submit their own candidates rather than buy from another marketplace — that is Orbis’s home turf: screen 100% of applicants across client requisitions and submit shortlists backed by recordings, transcripts, and scores.
