What 10,000 people hired humans for in the last 90 days
From errands to research work, every task posted on Quest gets offers.
Over 10,000 tasks were posted on Quest in the last 90 days, and 100% of them received at least one offer from someone ready to help.
That number tells you two things about the marketplace for human work. First, people are hiring humans for an incredibly wide range of tasks. Second, there are people ready to do those tasks.
Here's what the data shows.
Errands lead, but every category is active
Errands topped the list with 3,124 tasks in 90 days. People hire for grocery runs, package delivery, errands across town, and pickup requests.
Part-time work came next at 1,420 tasks. Business and admin work hit 960 tasks. Creative projects reached 1,129 tasks. Social media work totaled 997 tasks.
Research tasks, household help, tutoring, odd jobs, talents, care services, and tech work all showed active demand. Across 12 categories, people are hiring.
Research work is the most competitive
Research tasks get 5.3 offers on average. That makes it the most competitive category on the platform. Survey work, data collection, and research participation fill faster than anything else.
Part-time roles get 3.0 offers per task. Social media work gets 2.9 offers. Business and admin tasks average 2.7 offers.
Even categories with lower offer counts still hit 100% response rates. Household tasks get 1.7 offers on average. Errands get 1.7 offers. Care services get 1.8 offers. Every single task gets a response.
Why this matters for hiring
A 100% response rate means you can post a task and expect someone to offer to do it. That's true whether you need an errand run, a content creator, a virtual assistant, or someone to collect field data.
The breadth of categories matters too. You're not limited to one type of work. People are hiring for everything from dog walking to consulting, from livestreaming to tech support.
The competitive categories tell you where supply is strong. If you need research participants or survey takers, you'll get multiple offers quickly. If you need part-time help or social media work, expect several people to apply.
What people are actually hiring for
The data shows hiring across every category Quest offers. Errands and deliveries. Content creation and social media. Office work and virtual assistance. Research and data collection. Household services and care. Teaching and tutoring. Event staffing and promotions. Odd jobs and handyman work. Tech and IT support.
Some tasks pay $15. Others pay hundreds. The common thread is that they all require a human to do them. AI can help with a lot of things, but someone still needs to run the errand, film the content, attend the event, or deliver the package.
That's the work Quest exists for.
