"This was by far one of the best project experience I have had on Upwork. Right from the proposal to project updates, Hiren was very responsive. The best part was the quality of output that was produced. Since this was a unique requirement, I was skeptical about the responses we would get but Hiren ensured that we receive atleast ten great responses within the agreed timeline. The way Hiren presented the output citing his recommendations was also very professional. I would recommend Hiren to anyone looking for a similar exercise."

"It was not a mutual fit. I needed something sourced, he searched for it and couldn't deliver and as agreed, he would bill me 2 hours for the work wither he could source it or not. In my mind, I still think he should not have applied to the job because those 2 hours seemed like a guaranteed loss. At the end of the day it was my decision and he is right, I did agree that he would first take 2 hours to search, but I did after confirmations from him saying: "See I always take a project if I am positive about my approach." So for that reason, I had to put 3 stars for the Skills just because if he was sharper, and "positive about" his approach, then I would have had at least 1 supplier that we could work with. I gave him 3 stars on Quality of Work. 5 stars on availability, 5 stars on communication, 4 stars on Cooperation So should you work with him? Based on my review, you should STILL consider him, but you should only work with him if you are guaranteed to get something in return."

"Scope of the work was to find a supplier according to requirements given and I was successful to find the RIGHT Supplier. So the scope of the work was achieved within given timeframe (max 2 hours) Then Omar asked me to get the quotation from the supplier, which was OUT OF THE SCOPE OF WORK. At this point of time I had spent almost 1:40 hours out of 2 hours, which was max allowed by client for this project. So I knew if I charge him for that extra work then I would cross the max hours limit and he would get mad as he still wanted it to be completed within 2 hours. I started that extra work and tried my best to get the quotation even in the suppliers family there was a medical emergency related to COVID and he needed to be quarantine so he was not able to take my calls and emails/messages. he said he couldn't send the quote as of now and told me to bear with him. When I told the same to Omar he got mad and told me if needed, call him 1000 times but get the quote. Omar clearly not wanted to co-operate even in the medical situation. Instead of appreciating the extra miles I have mad (out of scope work I have done) for FREE, he started acting very unprofessional. This is the worst experience I ever had on and off to Upwork. Not recommended !!! PS: I will still send him that quote once the supplier get back to work."
