Fiverr Adds New Tools to Match Businesses With Freelancers

Freelance marketplace Fiverr has added two new tools that match businesses with talent.

One of the new solutions, Fiverr Pro, is designed to address the needs of larger organizations, the company said in a Tuesday (Aug. 1) press release. This solution combines a curated catalog of professional talent with business tools that help clients with project planning, payment options, and a dashboard for smooth collaboration and communication.

Fiverr Pro joins the suite of professional solutions for midsized and enterprise businesses included in Fiverr Business Solutions, the release said.

“With Fiverr Business Solutions, we set the ambitious goal of applying our leadership, in connecting small businesses with freelancers, to the more complex needs of bigger businesses and enterprises with this specialized suite of solutions,” Fiverr Founder and CEO Micha Kaufman said in the release.

The second new solution, Fiverr Neo, is being tested, and businesses can join a waiting list to try it for themselves at a future date, according to the press release.

Fiverr Neo leverages the latest technology and algorithms to help match businesses with the right professional, the release said. This matching tool is designed to provide experiences that are better and more personalized.

“Today, I am really excited to announce the launch of Fiverr Neo which is designed to do exactly that — introduce an all-new experience that will allow our customers to express their needs and be matched with the right solution,” Kaufman said in the release. “As impressive as we believe Neo is, it is only the first step in stretching the bounds of technology and building on Fiverr’s deep understanding of marketplaces to enrich the experience for our community.”

Kaufman said in February that there is a significant opportunity to leverage Fiverr’s model coming out of the current downcycle. Nearly 40% of the U.S. workforce is comprised of freelancers, he said, and that tally will stand at more than 50% by 2025.

Among Fiverr’s customers looking for talent, the company reported at the time that the growth of larger-wallet customers — those who typically spend at least $10,000 across the platform — is robust and more resistant to macro headwinds.
