Hi there,
Has anyone heard of the above company?? From what I can gather they are a survey company. I found them today on universal jobmatch, advertising for typists. Are they legit and how much do they pay per survey??
many thanks!!

I saw this also, but lack of any information as to if it is legit or not.0

I couldn't find much information about these guys which suggests to me that they are not very reputable. I personally wouldn't trust many of the "survey" jobs advertised on jobmatch, it seems anyone can add any kind of website to that site.0

I think I'm going to give it a miss. I've seen the same advert today but looking for administrative assistants. I think I may report them (hopefully thers a facility for doing this on job match!) because ultimately they are not recruiting for what they say they are. I've no problem with doing survey for extra income, but advertising it as a legit job I just think is exploitative.

I did a study with them last week. The study was for 10 mins but it was actually a pre study for channel 4 I think. I have been sent a Sony Xperia smart phone for a 5 month tv watching study.
It seems that do not actually advertise on job match a recruitment agency does.0 -
It's genuine enough. I've been with them for about a year now.
You get regular requests to participate in surveys. Some of them take much longer than the advertised time (it'll usually say something like 20 minutes for £1.44. You can double that time). My last one (yesterday) was for Sennheiser headphones, although this didn't become apparent until near the end. It said it'd take 20 minutes for £1.84, but it was nearer an hour.
You provide a profile so that in theory you are sent surveys appropriate to you, but most of the time you are thrown out of the survey early on if you don't fit the demographic the company is seeking for its product.
But it can be fun deciding what to say to get through the early personal stuff so you can get to the proper questions. I've been a male and a female aged from 18 through to 65. I have 0 to 4 children and am renting, buying or owning my house. Our household income is anywhere from £10,000 to £60,000 per annum.
You won't make a second income from this. I've earned £17.76 so far! But that's been while sitting on my backside watching TV, so I wouldn't put you off registering if you can accept it in that light.0 -
Regularly changing your survey demographics is usually a sure fire way to get yourself banned from a company, once they notice anyway!
Your best bet is to find a good demographic and stick to it, or alternatively just tell the truth of course.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Ive been with Sharpism for several months now and only get 2/3 surveys a week mostly which I dont qualify for - I am 62 live alone,retired,and on state benefits - it seems sharpism surveys dont like me particularly. Its only pin money,not "a job" but its real money,unlike YouGov who are points only and Valued Opinions who give you a voucher for ,say, Amazon. How you can make real money with these is a complete mystery to me,unless you fill in your profile to be appealing - i.e. young,married,with lots of money and several kids:j0

I have to tell the truth on surveys, my memory isn't good enough to remember anything I make up!0

I joined Sharpism & had to really be patient and persevere with their system. For many months what little number of surveys arrived i was screened out of mostly. After using my own accurate details to complete the assignments & completing the minimum threshold for payout, the payout was easy and swift via paypal. Slightly more surveys arrive now. It would be best to use only realistic data to enter and finish the surveys.
