Contractors, vendors and other third-parties too. Thanks for the suggestions.

The work is application development. The project is broken into smaller tasks such as designing UI in Figma, developing the UI in Flutter and developing the underlying app functionality. I'd like like to eventually have 2 or 3 reliable devs to work with on a regular basis. I think it's normal (and often required) for any company to screen employees and to know who has access to their intellectual property.

I will check out Fiverr Pro. That still may not address my requirement to screen freelancers. I do not believe Fiverr is intended to be an anonymous platform... nothing in their terms of service states this. I have not found any term that strictly forbid asking for personal information. In fact, the TOS explicitly acknowledges and permits the necessary exchange of personal information. To clarify, I am not planning to request an email as this is not a reliable method of verifying an individuals identity. To protect our users' privacy, user identities are kept anonymous. Requesting or providing Email addresses, s***e/IM usernames, telephone numbers or any other personal contact details to communicate outside of Fiverr in order to circumvent or abuse the Fiverr messaging system or Fiverr platform is not permitted. Any necessary exchange of personal information required to continue a service may be exchanged within the Order Page. If there are other relevant terms I missed please let me know.

Thanks for the response. As one of the issues to resolve is contractual, both parties need to know who the other is and I have no issue sharing my identity. I understand a seller will need to decide if it's a legitimate request. This is typically required in any employer/employee relationship (regardless how short the duration is). Simply, I need to know who is handling our code. If a freelancer wishes to remain anonymous that is their right and it is my right not to hire them. I have seen freelancers with multiple accounts, I have seen freelancers reposting projects of other buyers, I have seen freelancers reselling past projects, I have seen agencies posing as an individual freelancer and more. Fiverr terms of service requires that payments and communications use the Fiverr platform. I am not trying to circumvent those requirements. The terms of service also allows for the exchange of personal information. The purpose of the verification is simply to confirm who the individual is and to reduce risk of fraud and intellectual property theft.

I have had some bad experiences on Fiverr (and other freelancer websites) with fake accounts. I intend to pay freelancers through Fiverr, however, I am planning to screen freelancers prior to hiring them. I want to use a tool called OnFido for verifying identity documents (like passport, drivers license etc) along with a selfie. If a freelancer declines to complete the screening (or fails) I will not hire them. Before I request this of freelancers, I'd like to confirm this does not violate Fiverr terms of service. Any thoughts?
