The #AI #talentwar has extended to #datalabelling companies, with startups like #Mercor aggressively recruiting from rivals like #micro1. This is driven by the explosive growth of the #humandatamarket, fuelled by the increasing demand for #highqualitytraining data to improve #AImodels. The shortage of skilled professionals has intensified competition for talent. https://www.forbes.com/sites/annatong/2026/02/05/the-ai-talent-wars-have-hit-data-labeling/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The AI Talent Wars Have Hit Data Labeling

As much as I hate posting to #linkedIn aka #stinkedin but when the fraud and deceit is hosted there...

If you are over on that platform, some boosts on my posting regarding the fake job postings by Micro1 would be in order please https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7422681886461808640/

You may have seen the #CISO and other roles posted by an #AI company in Palo Alto named #Micro1

Address: 3000 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA 94306

Note that Micro1 is not hiring themselves but using #LinkedIn under false pretenses to populate their new applicant tracking platform and ingest into their AI. When asked about all this and their approach in their first “Building your career with micro1” session today individuals were kicked out and banned from the #Zoom session.

It is disgusting that companies like this feel they can waste peoples time & portray false pretenses to ingest our time and personal information. I would suggest that if you have started the process with them to invoke the “right to be forgotten” per #CCPA and/or #GDPR.

How horrible is it for getting peoples hopes up just for a bait n switch for their companies gain, in such a horrible hiring climate?
