GidiMark

The mark of a verified pro.

A directory of professionals we've actually checked. One at a time.

Hiring strangers is a gamble.

In most places, finding a professional means a referral from a friend, a screenshot from Instagram, or a number from WhatsApp. You don't really know who you're hiring until they show up. Sometimes that works out. Often it doesn't.

GidiMark fixes that. Before a pro goes up on the site, we call them, look at their portfolio, and talk to people they've worked for. The mark on a profile means someone on our team actually did that work.

What the mark means.

  • Identity

    We check that the person on the profile is who they say they are.

  • Work

    We look at their portfolio and make sure the work they're showing is theirs.

  • References

    We call past clients. If we can't reach anyone they've worked for, the profile doesn't go up.

How it works.

If you're a pro

  1. Create your public profile.
  2. Submit your work.
  3. We do the verification. If it checks out, the mark goes on your profile.
  4. Past clients can endorse you.

If you're looking to hire

  1. Search by profession and location.
  2. View the profile. See the work, the verification, the endorsements.
  3. Contact the pro directly via WhatsApp or phone.
  4. No account needed.

For anyone with work to show.

If people pay you to do something, you can be on GidiMark.

Reviews from people who actually hired them.

Verified pros can collect endorsements from past clients. These show up on the profile and add up over time. Anyone thinking of hiring them can read what others had to say.

Questions.

  • We contact them, look at their work, and speak to people they've worked for. A real person on our team does this. It usually takes about a week.

The mark means we checked.
