I'm fixing the freelance hiring problem with live video auditions (12 min hires vs 2 week Fiverr nightmare)

Last month, I needed a simple React component built. Here's what happened on Fiverr:

- Day 1: Posted job, got 47 proposals

- Day 2: Messaged 10 people asking basic questions

- Day 3: Picked someone with "10 years React experience"

- Day 5: Got the code... it was jQuery from 2014

- Day 7: Hired someone else

- Day 9: Got terrible code again

- Day 11: Third time, finally got something decent

- Day 14: Lost 2 weeks of my life I'll never get back

The root issue? Portfolios can be faked. Reviews can be bought. But live video doesn't lie.
