Bear with me folks. Just need to vent a bit. .
Let's talk about screening. As you all know, there are typically 3 types of screening processes to see an independent provider or a girl from an agency.
1. Through registration at services like P411, TER, etc. - Problem here is that most of these are closed by now.
2. Provide corporate and / or personal information. Uncle LEO will love this info!
3. At least 2 or more references from other independent providers in good standing.
Now let's talk about number 3 for a moment. How can I have references, if I need references to get these references in the first place?
And even if I have a reference, how would the new provider verify that unless I provided my personal information with both of them?
Let's not bring up the argument that she will remember you and can provide assurance that you are not LE. She won't.
If you saw her let's say 6 month ago, she wouldn't remember you unless you did something outrageous like wearing a pink hat while going down on her.
So the way I see this, this process is flawed and at least for me not working.
One alternative I could think of is, that when you arrive at the provider, before going down to business, you show your credentials like I'd, corporate I'd, your LinkedIn profile (from your phone), etc. And leave nothing behind.
That way she can be certain that you are not LE, and you that none of your personal information falls in the wrong hands.
What do you all think?
