We continue testing on the site. While it's live, there are many tweaks coming in the next week or so. Then we'll be asking Contractors and Employers to sign up, at no cost. The strength of the network will grow as more join!
VouchedIn will charge a fraction of the cost of recruiters; Contractors are pre-screened (Vouched) and Employers are pre-screened as well.
It's an exciting journey! We liken it to pushing recruiters for contract accounting professionals to the sides like travel agents of days gone by...
After all, it's not a relationship business, it's a Connection business...

Client service
I've been in business for three years now. I have great clients and colleagues. I've had one bad client experience where they don't pay their invoices and I had to cut the relationship.
What I learned from this:
- trust your gut feeling-I was cautious from the beginning with this ex-client
- be cautious when every employee has 'run out of gas' working with someone. This is a cover for bigger problems in a company.
- walk away from a contract with clauses for non-disparagement; there's a reason a person includes that in a contract.
- complete due diligence-including checking with the county courts for arrests or lawsuits. This was something that would have given me important information with the ex-client.
-And last, investigate, using the web-to find past business dealings that have gone poorly with the person.
In three years, to have one bad client is not a bad go of it...and I'm confident in the overall business cliemate for people and companies with integrity.

American Express Green Card and Plum
As a small business owner, I started using AMEX Plum for all of my purchases when I began the business in early 2009. I have used the green card for personal use for 20 years and always paid on time.
Recently, I was running late on the personal card and called to explain that I would be paying but needed time...and asked to be on a finance plan. I was told-we don't do that-you need to pay in full. After several calls, AMEX was paid in full and yet, the cancelled my account.
The Plum card was paid on time and often early-and yet AMEX cancelled that card too. I'm fed up with them-horrible customer service and trying to run people into the ground!
