A short version:
QuestBoard collects cryptographic truth through the ChainLink network and its services for use by employees and employers. This creates a world of freedom when it comes to employment.The short version is QuestBoard automates paperwork between employees and employers, allowing employees to begin working with no interview and employers to never run out of employees. Employees can also work where ever their skill set allows them and whenever. So if you are an employee who wants to make 100k a year washing dishes, you'll be able to work 100 hours a week if you'd like. On the other hand, employers can hire high-value waiters for busy times and lower-value waiters for slow times, this way everyone can get as many hours as they want without having to worry about getting too little or too much work. And employers always have a replacement if someone doesn't show up for their shift. With the token providing security to the network.

​Things are still progressing well especially with the advent of ChainLink's CCIP
Full version:
By simply automating the paperwork between employer and employee vast freedom is created in such business relationships. Both employer and employee become freer in when and who they work with. Real-world data on businesses and employees will be brought in by using various ChainLink services.QuestBoard is a system much like that of an Employment Agency, but without the middle man. It is a way for employees to manage themselves as well as businesses to manage their employees.
For example, we have a bartender in one hand, and in the other, we have a bar. Now, this bar needs a bartender. So the bar must verify that the bartender is licensed to have a bartender. The bar must also negotiate a wage, interview, collect bank account information for paying the bartender and must confirm that the bartender has shown up and done a quality job at the specified time.
Now what the bartender must do, once they have obtained their license, is go out and find a job. They must find a job that has pay relative to their skill level. They must find a job that meets their time needs and wants as well as their location needs and wants.
With many factors making many of these jobs unsuitable it is difficult for the employee to find work and for the employer to find people to hire.
What if the employee had more flexibility in the where and when they work?
What if the employer could hire 10 bartenders to fit his needs?
Usually, the employee becomes tied to one place and one schedule. In the inevitable case that the employee gets sick the employer's needs are not met. But he can't go through the entire process of hiring simply for one day.
The employee must also risk their reputation if they will be able to maintain the schedule. They may not want to miss out on advancing their career through school. Or an important life event that makes them break their contract of meeting the employer's needs.
Usually, the employer must rely on the one person they hire to meet all their needs. This means paying the single employee a livable wage every week. Meaning the employee gets paid the same during busy weeks (when he wishes he could afford more help) and during slow weeks (when he wishes he didn't even have a bartender).
The employer must also risk having to find a new employee if the one he has now decided to quit; starting the process all over.
The solution comes to us through data. That data being verified with as many points (a common one being cell phones) as it takes to create sufficient truth (perhaps so many that one day every business could become a Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Then that data then being secured on the tamper-proof blockchain.
QuestBoard aims to provide that solution.
What we do is create a profile of the company. The company can then write a contract and put it out there for someone who meets the qualifications of said contract to fulfill.
Now the bar does not have to hire a full-time or part-time bartender. Instead, the bar says they need a bartender who has a bartender's license and can tend the bar from 3 pm to 11 pm, for 17 dollars per hour.
QuestBoard makes this possible through identity verification via DECO or another ID Oracle. Verifying the public API of the issued bartender's license. Verifying the time and location of the bartender. Through the QuestBoard token (QST) eventually, this employee will have an on-chain track record of performance.
As well as a reputation through the QuestBoard website's reviews on their profile. One day this may also become decentralized.
With a high reputation on-chain and off-chain(for now), the employee can charge higher rates for their services. How recent the jobs have been will be a factor in this.
This reputation will work both ways. So the business itself will also become a deciding factor for the employee.
Of course, QuestBoard will also set up verified relative facts about the business as well.
All of this can be expanded to other jobs. Such as jobs that require background checks. Jobs that require drug tests. The employee keeps these current to get certain jobs as well as leverage to charge more for their services.
All details can also be verified such as if the job requires a car. The car itself can be verified as well as all licensees.
Once these details are verified through an Oracle Service or QuestBoard the person to whom the details belong will not have to give them up to everyone they do business with.
For example, an employee can be hired without having to show their driver's license to the employer, which would reveal their driver's license number as well as their birth date and home address.
The social benefits quickly become apparent. More freedom for the employee to work when they want and where they want. The employee becomes their own business; raising their entrepreneurial spirit, confidence, and self-reliance. They can work as little as they want and as much as they want. Turning a job washing dishes into a 100 hour work week and a 75,036 dollar a year job (at 14.89 dollars per hour).
The benefits for the business also increase, especially in flexibility. If they have a great bartender that they pay well they might be losing money during slow times. What if they could hire a cheap mediocre bartender for slow times and then a great expensive bartender for busy times. If someone doesn't show up for work they can easily be connected with someone willing to take a last-minute job. Perhaps with a last-minute bonus as well.
All of this brings us to the most important improvement, the easing of paperwork. Hiring paperwork, payment paperwork, and tax paperwork. All is automatic and records are kept for easy end-of-year filing.
So an employer that wants a more permanent employee will still want to use QuestBoard. It will still automate their payments, keep various records, and taxes. Healthcare and other employee benefits will be added as needed and be added to QuestBoard overall in the future. QuestBoard also plans to provide its benefits, of these kinds (through the QST token), to its users in the future as well.
The QuestBoard token (QST) provides the security of the system. QST also is the payment system. Though everything can be translated to any form of money that either side wants for ease of use. They are what interacts with the contracts and allow employers to make the contracts by putting the money upfront.
If there is a dispute neither party will be paid until it is worked out. QuestBoard will help with this process as needed.
QuestBoard will not be available to everyone starting out. A ground zero must be established and will grow from there. As people adopt the service it will expand to more jobs and different kinds of jobs. Once it has sufficiently crossed the chasm of technology adoption and is used in established businesses it will be opened for anyone to create an employment contract.
Quickly what this will look like is say someone wants to move a couch. They can require someone with a truck, a driver's license, a drug test, and a background check (whatever the employer decides to require) to pick up their couch from one location and drop it off at another. Funds are released when this is sufficiently proven.
The implications of this expand quickly. For example: Imagine you are looking to fly somewhere. You can see how many hours your pilot has, and when the last maintenance on the plane was. Even down to how experienced the person doing the maintenance is, all while each party can choose their level of privacy. Isn't that much better than simply trusting the name of a big airline? Now owning a plane and simply having a pilot's license is its own business/airline.
For all this to start, the service must be built. QuestBoard is already in contact with several restaurants that are willing to share employees. QuestBoard also has its eye on other industries, such as trades, where employers already regularly share employees (for a cut of the extra pay of course). This sector is particularly interesting because it is common for entire crews to lose their jobs once a big job is completed. Getting paid is also a problem for both sides as well.
All of this is simply the tip of the iceberg in use cases. QuestBoard aims to be the standard of blockchain-based job verification. Invest in QuestBoard today to invest in a future where hard work is rewarded, the entrepreneurial spirit is champion, and a healthy self-reliant mind is king.

Some data on the Staffing and Recruiting industry: https://americanstaffing.net/research/fact-sheets-analysis-staffing-industry-trends/staffing-industry-statistics/#tab:tbs_nav_item_1
The token will have a total supply of 1 billion. 35 percent will be sold at about 10 cents apiece in the public token sale. Directly purchasable with ETH. Another 35 percent will go to businesses to incentivize the ecosystem. 30 percent will be retained to cover ongoing development costs.
Only investors in countries that trust their citizens to be smart enough to handle their own money will be allowed to participate. According to this https://www.sec.gov/litigation/investreport/34-81207.pdf (21(a) investigative report the SEC released in 2017 law that we can not accept USA investors as well as Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, or any other country whose law restricts or prohibits participation in processes collectively and commonly referred to as Initial Coin Offering or classifies the token distribution process only as issues of financial instruments or derivatives of instruments as defined in the relevant domestic laws.
The sale has started! The sale will end when all tokens are sold.
Weekly updates will begin at the end of the token sale to those signed up on the email and/or those who follow us on social media.
Right now QuestBoard is a one-man team. This will change soon and progress will quicken once it does. Once this does updates and project information will be updated weekly to our followers.
