About Qest

A marketplace built on trust, not promises.

Qest is a two-sided marketplace connecting verified creative talent with agencies and brands. Every profile is identity-checked. Every payment is protected.

We are launching in Addis Ababa. The purpose is simple: make it safe to book creative work, and make it easy for talent to be found.

How it works

Two sides. One trusted floor.

Verified identity

Every account is checked before anyone can be booked or book.

Clear terms

Rates, dates, usage rights — all visible up front. No surprises.

Protected payment

Fees held by a licensed provider. Released when both sides confirm the job is done.
