    I would hope that Fiverr is not a representative example of a typical employment process. I understand you have to show that you're not a laggard when it comes to communication, but being dismissed for not replying to a message in 5-10 minutes is insane.

      I haven't hired on any platforms like Fiverr for a long time, but if someone replied in 5-10 mins, I would be likely to assume they were an agency masquerading as an individual, or someone that isn't very busy.

      Just you wait, this will be what billionaires and CEOs envision as the ideal employment dynamics in the post-AI world. Uber but for employment.

    I'm associated with big contractor-providing company and it's clearly communicated that response should be given within 4 hours of receiving.

    It never got to the paper but they have way more people to connect than the sample.
