    I signed up to grassroots! Do they call you back to conduct an interview or do they just immediately send you assignments!!

    How well do they pay?

    after finding this thread i signed up to all on the 1st page - got turned down by Maxim and not heard from any other yet (2 weeks) except GFK/NOP got the email saying assignments available in my area so checked out and got 1 booked for this week then got another same day which happens to be a place i go by daily but never been to so looking forward to going undercover like James Bond now - just a question will the dark shades be a bit over the top? ;)

    If I remember rightly they send you an email to say that you've been successful in joining and then you basically sit back and wait.
    This company email you with assignments but they can be abit erratic, i.e none for weeks, then four offered in one day!!!
    Make sure you check your emails regularly though as it's fastest finger first as to who gets them!!! (I missed one today!!!)
    They pay about £10 per assignment and are a good company to work for.:o

    Thanks Jobbingmusician. I didn't realise I could add all employed work together. So for last year I could total up my regular job (now left there), NOP and TNS and I don't need to differentiate how much I earned where? It would make life a lot easier!

    Just been offered work from Gap, RE, NOP, GfK and emystery in last 20 mins or so, so might be worth a look! :j :j

    Wondering re GAP. I was unable to complete a stamp shop a while back due to illness (have since done loads of others for them). No stamp shops offered for me this time round, do you think I will have been banned? :confused: Happened to anyone else? I have emailed them to ask but wondered if anyone had same problem?

    Dont worry Rachelja, they haven't been put on for anyone this month. There have been some rumours that GAP do not have them any more, but I don't know if thats the case or not. But there are a few showing now, if your'e quick! (Only a few though and only in about 10 areas).

    There was none at all showing for me when I last posted. Not in any area unfortunately. When I started there used to be loads.

    Ive done my first 2 mystery shops now the 1st was easy but i had to buy something i didnt like but the second i had to go to a place and after checking the place out i had to reveal who i was to ask the staff some questions - was a bit strange seeing someone go all shocked and nervous but was fun look forward to my next ones when some arrive.
