Four months ago, the CEO of Fiverr sent out an email to its staff with the stark message "AI is coming for your jobs."

Today the other shoe dropped as the company is laying 250 employees (30% of workers) as part of a pivot into becoming "an AI-first company with a smaller team, greater productivity and fewer management layers."

Freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork have been hardest hit by the rise of AI tools including agents.

Online marketplace Fiverr to lay off 30% of workforce in AI push

The cuts, which will affect 250 employees, are a part of a restructuring plan announced by Fiverr's CEO Micha Kaufman geared towards investing heavily in AI and incorporating the technology into the company's platform. "We are launching a transformation for Fiverr, to turn Fiverr into an AI-first company that's leaner, faster, with a modern AI-focused tech infrastructure, a smaller team, each with substantially greater productivity, and far fewer management layers," Kaufman said in a letter to employees. While it isn't clear what kinds of jobs will be impacted, Fiverr operates a self-service digital marketplace where freelancers can connect with businesses or individuals requiring digital services like graphic design, editing or programming.
