Our Story

Built for the Creative
Community

Yash Talent is the UK's dedicated marketplace for creative professionals — from makeup artists and hairstylists to photographers, influencers and creative directors.

Our Mission

Connecting Talent with Opportunity

We started Yash Talent because we saw a gap: the creative industry is filled with extraordinary talent, but finding that talent — or being discovered — was frustratingly hard. Jobs were sourced through word of mouth, Instagram DMs, and agency gatekeepers. Rates were opaque. Payments were slow.

We built a platform where a freelance makeup artist in Manchester can be booked by a brand in London within minutes. Where an agency can manage their entire roster from a single dashboard. Where every client can browse verified profiles, see real pricing, and book with confidence — all in one place.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Creatives First

Every product decision begins with one question: does this make life better for creative professionals? We build tools that save time, surface talent, and get people paid.

Trust Through Transparency

Verified profiles, honest reviews, and clear pricing — no hidden fees, no surprises. Both clients and creatives always know exactly where they stand.

Quality Over Quantity

We review every creative application before they go live. Clients can book with confidence knowing every profile has been vetted by our team.

Fair for Everyone

Our fee structure is straightforward and designed to keep as much money as possible in the hands of the people doing the creative work.
