Skip Trace Jobs

Attention:  Customer Care Concerns
Your concerns about scam companies which offer Work At Home opportunities, envelope stuffing work and other get rich quick schemes is absolutely correct.

As a previous advertiser with you company, I am equally disenchanted and concerned with the results from claims that your job site and many other job sites make.  We would be much better served if everyone, including the advertisers, would need to prove their legitimacy prior to placing the advertisement and/or offering jobs.  This may assist in reducing a significant number of scammers, and add credibility to the advertising web-sites when jobs are offered.

Our company, International Research Specialists Inc., started developing our network of Work from Home based people in 1981.  This was long before the advent and popularity of the internet. Thirty years of longevity should be a barometer for our legitimacy that we offer a real job/career opportunity.

Furthermore it is also very naïve and irresponsible for job seekers to believe that anyone can expect to excel in any job or business without any investment in themselves. Independent contractors who are all self-employed people should know, or at least be made aware that there is virtually always some basic costs involved in every business opportunity.  Even an auto mechanic is expected to purchase a personal set of tools prior to being hired at any auto repair shop. Likewise even the hair stylist is also required to buy their tools of the trade, which are essential to their profession. 

If one is to become a critic, then job placement advertisers and their web-sites also need to clarify these issues prior to selling their ads. This may also assist in weeding out some of these fraudulent job scammers.
We recently placed an advertisement on your web-site.   To date we have had the worst results of any job placement ad ever. This is without exception.

I believe the problem was mainly due to the ad not being put in a proper categorization for this job. This probably was the main contributor that created the lack of response to the advertisement. For example,  Customer Service where it was listed is way too broad  a category. When only 7% of the viewers request more information, we knew they were misled and uninterested in applying for a job they knew they were not qualified to apply for.

We are in an extremely unique industry… We locate missing debtors. This is referred to and known in the financial collection industry as Skip Tracing. Collections would be the appropriate category for this job title. Locating the debtor was naturally the main function of all collectors prior to the mythical belief that computers would solve this enormous escalating problem.
