How to Use Fiverr Mira (2026): Fiverr's AI Headhunter, Step by Step
Searching Fiverr used to mean scrolling through hundreds of gigs, opening tabs, and messaging five sellers to see who answers. In 2026 Fiverr added a different way to hire: Mira, which Fiverr calls its "AI headhunter".
You describe the job in plain words. Mira turns it into a proper job description, reaches out to freelancers, checks their interest and price, and comes back with a short list. That's the promise. In this guide I walk you through how to use Fiverr Mira step by step, what changes when your budget is under $500, what it really costs once Fiverr's fees are added, and a brief template you can copy.
Everything here comes from Fiverr's official help article on Mira and its payments page, checked on 8 October 2026. Mira is new and still rolling out, so some details may change.
- Mira is Fiverr's AI hiring assistant. It writes your job description, contacts suitable freelancers and returns up to three curated recommendations.
- You can get a shortlist in 2, 4 or 12 hours, or see an instant list of matches.
- Budgets under $500 work differently: Mira doesn't send your job to freelancers. You get a filtered list instead.
- Once you send a job description, you can't edit or pause it.
- Mira is rolling out gradually and works on desktop and mobile web only, not in the iOS or Android apps.
- When you hire, normal fees apply: 5.5% of the order, plus $3.50 on orders under $200.
What Fiverr Mira is
Fiverr's help center describes Mira as "Fiverr's AI headhunter". Its own product page at mira.fiverr.com puts it in one line: "Describe the role or job you're looking for, and let Mira find the right talent."
In practice, Mira does four jobs for you:
- Interviews you. It asks follow-up questions until your project is clear.
- Writes the job description. It fills in goals, budget, timeline and preferences.
- Reaches out to freelancers. It sends your job to eligible talent and asks them questions to check fit, availability and pricing.
- Hands you a shortlist. You get talent cards with a short reason why each person fits.
Mira also uses context from your Fiverr account, such as your order history, name, currency and time zone. Your Mira job descriptions live inside Mira, not on the older Brief management page.
Do you have access yet?
Maybe not. Fiverr says Mira "is currently rolling out gradually, so not all users have access yet."
- Where it works: desktop browser and mobile browser.
- Where it doesn't (yet): the Fiverr iOS and Android apps.
- How to find it: look for Post a job description on the Fiverr home screen or main menu, or open mira.fiverr.com directly.
If you don't see it, you can still hire the classic way by searching gigs. Fiverr says access will come to more users over time.
How to use Fiverr Mira, step by step
Step 1: Start a conversation
Click Post a job description and tell Mira what you need. Write the way you would talk to a friend: "I need someone to fix my slow WordPress site before a product launch."
You can chat in your own language. But note that the final job description is always generated in English.
Step 2: Answer the follow-up questions
Mira keeps asking until all required fields are complete. A progress bar shows what's left. The required fields include:
- Understanding the need
- Business name
- Project goals
- Budget
- Timeline
- Search preferences (time zone, location, availability, experience or language)
Other fields depend on the type of service. Mira may also suggest optional fields. Fill them in; they improve your matches.
Step 3: Review and edit the job description
Once the required fields are done, you can review everything. Edit it by hand, or just ask Mira in the chat ("make the deadline 10 days, not 14"). You can also click Export to download it as a PDF or open it in HTML. That's handy if you want to keep a copy or share it with a partner.
Step 4: Choose how fast you want results
When the job description is ready, you choose what happens next:
| Option | What happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| See my shortlist | You instantly get a list of matching freelancers to review and contact yourself. | When you want to start messaging right now |
| Let Mira start (2, 4 or 12 hours) | Mira contacts freelancers, confirms interest, availability, pricing and fit, then gives you up to three recommendations. You get an email when it's ready. | When you can wait a few hours for better-vetted picks |
Fiverr says a longer window gives Mira more time to search and "may result in stronger matches." If your deadline allows it, pick 12 hours.
Step 5: Compare your shortlist
Your job description page shows live updates as freelancers respond. When the shortlist arrives, you can:
- Read why each freelancer is a good fit.
- Click Compare talent to see everyone side by side.
- Click Message to start a chat. The freelancer's inbox shows a summary and the full job description as a PDF.
Step 6: Hire, or search yourself
Not happy with the picks? Click Search Fiverr instead. It opens normal Fiverr search results already filtered by your job description. Nothing is lost.
Want to run another project at the same time? Click Start a new project. Fiverr says there's no limit on how many job descriptions you can send at once.
Step 7: Manage or delete your projects
Click your profile image, then Your projects, to switch between projects or delete one. Under Your profile, you can also fill in your business, brand voice and past projects so future job descriptions are better. To wipe everything, go to Privacy & data and click Delete your conversations. That permanently deletes your Mira history, but not your Fiverr account.

The under-$500 rule (read this before you set a budget)
This is the detail most people miss. Fiverr's help article says:
"If your budget is under $500, Mira doesn't send your job description to talent. Instead, you receive a filtered list of talent based on your job description details."
So the full headhunter service, where Mira contacts freelancers, confirms price and availability, and picks up to three, is for budgets of $500 and up. Below that, Mira works more like a smart search filter.
What that means for you
- Small jobs ($50–$300): you still get a useful, filtered list. You just do the outreach yourself.
- Mid-size jobs close to $500: if your real budget is, say, $450–$550, be honest. Don't inflate it to unlock outreach. Freelancers will quote to your number, and you'll pay it.
- Bigger projects ($500+): this is where Mira saves the most time.
A brief template you can copy
Mira asks questions anyway, but starting with a clear brief means fewer rounds and better matches. Copy this, fill in the brackets, and paste it as your first message.
Why this works: it answers every required field Mira asks for, it tells freelancers what "done" means, and the "out of scope" line prevents surprise quotes later.
What hiring through Mira really costs
Fiverr's help article on Mira doesn't list any separate charge for using Mira. The cost shows up when you place an order with a freelancer. Fiverr's payments page says the standard service fee is 5.5% of your purchase, plus $3.50 on orders under $200. GigBuyerGuide, which checked the same page on 29 September 2026, reports the same numbers.
| Order price | 5.5% fee | Small-order fee | Total before tax | Effective fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $5.50 | $3.50 | $109.00 | 9.0% |
| $150 | $8.25 | $3.50 | $161.75 | 7.8% |
| $199 | $10.95 | $3.50 | $213.45 | 7.3% |
| $200 | $11.00 | $0 | $211.00 | 5.5% |
| $450 | $24.75 | $0 | $474.75 | 5.5% |
| $500 | $27.50 | $0 | $527.50 | 5.5% |
| $1,500 | $82.50 | $0 | $1,582.50 | 5.5% |
Three money tips
- Watch the $200 line. A $199 order costs $213.45 in total, while a $200 order costs $211.00. If a quote lands just under $200 and a small extra is useful, add it in the same payment.
- Bundle extras. Every payment carries its own fee. A $10 extra bought later costs $4.05 in fees on its own. Ask for one custom offer that covers everything.
- Tips have fees too. Fiverr's payments page says tips are separate payments with their own service fee. Tip once, not twice.
Tax may be added at checkout depending on your country. Fiverr always shows the final total before you confirm.
Mira vs searching gigs yourself
| Mira | Classic gig search | |
|---|---|---|
| Effort | Answer questions, wait, review up to 3 picks | Browse, filter, message several sellers |
| Speed to a shortlist | Instant list, or 2/4/12 hours for vetted picks | Depends on you |
| Outreach done for you | Yes, for budgets $500+ | No |
| Fixed-price packages | Price is confirmed per project | Clear package prices on each gig |
| Edit after posting | No | Yes, you control every message |
| Availability | Gradual rollout, web only | Everyone, web and app |
My take: for small, well-defined tasks with clear package prices (a logo, a short voice-over, a one-page fix), searching gigs is still faster. For custom projects over $500, where scope and price need a conversation, Mira can save you hours of messaging.
Need a logo and not a custom project? Fiverr's self-serve tool may be enough. See our guide to Fiverr Logo Maker. And for a full picture of Fiverr's buyer protection and fees, read the Fiverr review for buyers on our sister site.
Tips and mistakes to avoid
Do
- Fill in your Mira profile (business, brand voice, past projects). Mira uses it to personalize future job descriptions.
- Give one clear success test, like "site loads under 2.5 seconds on mobile". Freelancers quote better when the target is measurable.
- Pick the 12-hour window when your deadline allows it.
- Export the PDF of your job description before sending, so you have a record.
Don't
- Don't rush the review step. You can't edit after sending.
- Don't expect to copy a job description. Fiverr says each one is built for a single project and can't be duplicated.
- Don't assume teammates can see it. On team accounts, each member only sees the job descriptions they created.
- Don't take the conversation off Fiverr. Keep messages, files and payments on the platform so buyer protection applies.
Verdict
Fiverr Mira is a genuinely useful shortcut for custom projects of $500 or more. It writes a clean brief, does the outreach and hands you up to three vetted picks. Under $500 it's still handy as a smart filter, but you do the messaging. Prepare your brief before you start, check the draft carefully because it locks once sent, and budget for the 5.5% fee (plus $3.50 under $200).
