## About

AI-driven recruitment platform matching engineers and data specialists with international employers for remote contract work and AI training tasks.

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. A community volunteer reached out to the company in May 2026 citing the lifting of sanctions, but received only automated AI bot replies with no human escalation. In June 2026 a human representative confirmed the company cannot onboard candidates from Syria because of restrictions imposed by its onboarding partner Deel; the volunteer noted a parallel outreach to Deel is underway and kept the case open.

## Community reports

- 2026-06-02 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer replied to Micro1's support team, noting that a parallel outreach effort is underway with Deel — Micro1's onboarding partner and the stated source of the restriction — whose legal team is reviewing the updated sanctions framework. The volunteer committed to updating Micro1 if Deel's review produces a positive outcome, keeping the conversation open for future follow-up.
- 2026-06-02 — Company Responded. Micro1's support team sent the first human response to the outreach via support@micro1.ai. The representative stated that Micro1 is unable to onboard candidates from Syria at this time because of restrictions imposed by its onboarding partner Deel, which does not currently support onboarding candidates from the region. This is a genuine human review rather than an automated reply, and it identifies the root cause of Micro1's restriction as an upstream dependency on Deel's compliance policy.
- 2026-05-15 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer sent a separate outreach email to Micro1's privacy team at privacy@micro1.ai using the standard template, after the support@ outreach received only AI bot responses with no human escalation. The email cited the December 2025 OFAC sanctions lift, the EU sanctions removal, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, requesting a review of the current restriction on Syrian users.
- 2026-05-14 — Company Responded. Micro1's AI-driven support system replied via support+zara@micro1.ai with a series of automated non-answers from 'Zara,' an AI recruiter. The bot stated it could not confirm Micro1's restriction status for Syria, did not have information about onboarding Syrian users, and declined to review the request, directing the volunteer to a pipeline lead or support request form. After the volunteer explicitly asked why a review was not possible and requested human escalation, the AI bot continued to send unrelated automated responses about hiring manager reviews. No human Micro1 representative engaged with the outreach. The bot's own disclaimer explicitly notes that its responses may not be accurate.
- 2026-05-14 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Micro1 at support@micro1.ai requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria, the EU sanctions removal, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, asking for a review of whether Syrian users can now be onboarded onto the platform. This is the first recorded outreach to Micro1.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
