Gooby

Gooby is a freelancer marketplace based in Qatar, Estonia, and Turkey that allows users to hire online and onsite freelancers in a wide range of areas including digital marketing, programming, photography, business, and arts and crafts. The platform is designed for freelancers, SMEs, and individuals, with its search engine enabling buyers to find gigs posted by freelancers or advertise their own job requirements through job posts.
