Yuseff Gray2024-02-15I had a great opportunity as a first time secret-shopper. Fast with responding and, accurate with payment. Would give 5✨ rating, however, seems like a one shot deal, when it comes to finding another gig, there are no locations in my area code zone 😞
Patricia Hastrich2024-02-15SkilCheck Services is a well-structured and highly proficient organization. I opted for Skilcheck among other options due to their ability to promptly deliver the task with comprehensive details right from the initial attempt.
Erika Dancer2024-02-14Haven't worked for them long BUT so far, so great!! They're easy to work with, if you have a problem, let em know they'll work WITH you to solve it. For the most part, I get paid NEXT day, (not 3 weeks to 60 days later like other companies) for my work. I wish more companies were like them!!
