For our GFX members and clients, I am contemplating a new protocol for references.
Options:
A.) Including your handles in our showcase so other providers can simply go there and see your handle as "ok". then you can pm them to verify it is in fact your handle. (Opt-in/Opt-out basis)
B.) Including your handle and 4 digit pin on our website for providers to view.
Having providers log in to view is an additional option.
C.) We have verified all of our reviews authenticity, and they are not fictitious. So as of today, you can simply click on our reviews and use them for screening. Any reviews written after today we would need to verify.
Just my 2 cents, I think this would expedite your screening process. HAPPY HOBBYING!
