SideQuest
More than a résumé. Hiring, made simple.

SideQuest is a local hiring platform that lets businesses post job listings and review applicants via video, photos, and work history rather than relying solely on traditional résumés. Employers can message candidates directly and manage applicants in one place, while job seekers build rich profiles and apply to local gigs instantly. It positions itself as a cheaper, faster alternative to large job boards.
Employers post listings in minutes and review applicants via video and photo profiles, while job seekers build profiles with intro videos and apply instantly, with direct in-app messaging throughout.
