This change can be attributed to the proliferation of \u2018Uber-like\u2019 online recruitment platforms such as Fiverr, Upwork, PeoplePerHour or Quidjob.<\/p>\n<p>These platforms are now targeting creative professionals, like voice-over talents, with a view to \u2018uberize\u2019 the creative industries. Clients can now directly from their platform purchase services such as logo design, video-making or radio idents produced by professionals or amateurs based anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>This pilot research project seeks to the study the impact these platforms have had on the remuneration and contracts in the UK voice-over industry. To this end, the research team launched an online survey to collect data on the contractual practices and remuneration levels. The survey ran between 10 January 2019 and 1 April 2019, and collected over 200 responses across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The research team discussed the survey results with the industry in a roundtable meeting on 22 May 2019.
