Does anyone use Jobslinger Plus?

May 18, 2012 02:29PM
I signed up for the Jobsligner Plus free trial, and I like it so far. It's really handy to sign up for more sassie companies, and the mega log is nice. I really like having it email me when there are jobs that fit my criteria. I'm thinking about paying for it after the free trial ends. Does anyone else? Do you think it's valuable?

I've been paying for it since my free trial was up. I also like getting the emails with the new job postings. The best part is being able to search all the MSCs in one place. I have over 50 accounts with companies that use SASSIE and I've done at least one shop for a good bit of them. Having to check each board individually is very time consuming. I also like being able to set up searches for more than one geographic area. I only started a year and half ago. I live in VA but go to the Jersey Shore every summer for a week or two. Last summer I was able to go shopping at the mall with my mom, threw in a few quick and easy shops and we had lunch at Applebees just about paid for! I also go up to North Jersey to visit my parents and have sometimes done shops up there. JS+ makes it easier to check for all those too.

I personally don't think it's worth the money.

Jobslinger Plus was susicious to me during and after the "Help to Save the Mystery Shopping Industry" campaign of a few years ago posts from Jobslinger. The premise was complicated and indicated that shoppers should sign up with Jobslinger as proof of legitimate IC Contractor status to avoid suspician by the IRS and pending legislation to abolish IC status. I did not appreciate the scare tactics then. I would appeciate knowing of the benefits now.

i used jobslinger for the free trial, but discontinued it before they wanted to start charging me. it was good for when i was a brand new shopper. however, now i know what specific companies i want to work for, so i can just check the company websites for work or see all i need in my emails.

also, if i remember correctly, jobslinger only works with sassie websites, and i really haven't worked with sassie recently. (i can't remember precisely now, so i'm not sure. i was a year ago.)

jobslinger can be good if you're just starting out as a shopper. if you find 10 solid companies to work for, then you probably won't need jobslinger, so long as you frequently check your emails for work assignments from your 10 solid companies.
