Can anyone help me please? How do I access the on line test that you have to do for research for Textperts, any help would be greatly apreciated. I've tried to do it but haven't got far:confused:

    I wouldn't bother Baby Face, many of us have been waiting over a year for start dates. I think the test is just a marketing ploy. Sorry x
    Gone ... or have I?

    It wasn't a marketing ploy, it was a genuine application test as many people that used to work for them can testify.

    The situation is that Texperts was taken over in December and the Texperts brand was closed down, hence there is no need for more researchers. They did not take on new staff for a significant period of time before that but kept the test on their site because they genuinely expected to take on more staff at some point in the future. Sadly that won't happen now.

    You don't offer people jobs, give them no starting dates and then ignore any email contact from them. The amount of people that they offered jobs to would mean that would never have had to recruit again! It was a marketing ploy.

    It wasn't a marketing ploy. A lot of people took the test and got a job because of it, including me. They were expecting huge expansion so kept applications open. I agree they didn't handle it as best as they could, but they were being over optimistic with recruitment applications, there was nothing devious about it.

    Sorry I can't go into specifics but like most companies these days I am/was bound by an NDA.

    I'll second that. I passed the test and got a job from them about 18 months ago.
    Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right! :D
