Hi all! For those who do not know me, I am Servanne Edlund. I have been a full-time shopper since 2006. I have been the IMSC Vice-President since its creation in 2009. And as of November 2014, I am the proud owner of EDS - Edlund Data Services (I couldn't find a better name! LOL!).
All of these positions are independent from one another. That means that unless I know you personally or you sign up for my database, I will not be reaching out to you. In other words, if you have ever attended an IMSC Conference, unless we made a connection where email addresses were exchanged, I will not go into the IMSC Database and harvest names. Same if I have worked with you in a scheduler/editor position for other businesses. It would be unethical for me to rip the benefits of working for a larger company for my own profit.
EDS is an emerging mystery shopping and market research recruiting service. EDS specializes in small projects and hard to fill locations. There are two companies right now that I am working with: Financial Shop Solutions and Eagle Eye Retail Intelligence. Both are smaller companies (in terms of exposure and number of employees), and needed help in very specific areas (in terms of both geographic areas, and types of shops).
For larger projects, I gladly refer companies to larger scheduling companies. It only makes sense. I am a one-woman show working from home. Realistically, until EDS grows a bit bigger, you will only see sporadic job postings from me.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Quick shameless plug: sign up at www.edlunddataservices.com ! ;-)
(for clarity regarding the capacity in which I am posting, I have created an account for EDS so you know I am not posting on behalf of any other company/entity - hopefully, that did not violate any forum rules)
There is no such thing as a stupid question, so ask away! And remember: to each his own.
