Whenever I go to my iprofile 'home page' it changes my status to 'not currently looking for work'.

I emailed them about this and they admitted there was a bug. (but didn't offer to do anything about it)

I wonder if any agents have been put off by seeing that status?!

[Clippy]

i see there is a section on there called brillopad's blog

is this our very own brillopad?!

Dunno, but BP is in at No. 530!

Would not concern myself with or about the site, if you look the contractor ranking the number 1# has a grand total of 1 review giving him the top score 102,600, basically probably just signed up for two accounts and had the one give him all 10's

A site that ranks and reviews agencies/contractors would be a lovely thing, that would do wonders for our industry but it has never been properly done for one simple reason, it would is impossible to manage in such a way that you could know if a single rating /review was honest


ps: Gemma Pearce as number one agent?

Their Ts & Cs include , under Section 3 User Responsibilities:

In using the Site, you agree not to:

3.1) Knowingly transmit:

a) Any information, data, images, or other materials ("Material") that are unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous or otherwise objectionable or that may invade another's right of privacy;

I would suggest contacting them and demanding that they take down the review on the grounds that it is defamatory and an invasion of privacy.

Thier sign up procedure is pants!
The Captcha utility is the worst I have come across

I have had a mate is who is actually a client try sign in and leave a reference and he can't get in because his email address is already in the system, He's never signed up before.

So I would be surprised if the service actually makes it through to xmas

Worst pile of stinking dog doo I've seen on the web. it's back to youporn for me!

This site is a commercial concern so if you are not happy with what they have posted about you ask them to remove it or see them in court for liable.

Thank you, everybody, for consoling me.

[ChimpMaster]

The site looks like complete and utter carnage to me. Did they use a monkey to design and code this thing?

I can see how the concept could be considered useful, but the entire process is open to abuse and this undermines the authenticity of every single profile on it.
