Nsite

Nsite
Overall Rating: B
  • Number of jobs/clients: Below average
  • Type of jobs: Restaurant (fine dining), entertainment, miscellaneous
  • Rate of pay: Reimbursement only
  • Speed and method of payment: PayPal, 1-4 weeks
  • Bonuses offered?: None known
Advantages:
Nsite offers fair reimbursement amounts for the venue, and often includes a guest. Schedulers are easy to contact and communicate with, and I have found them to be friendly and professional. Their pay is reliable and on the quick side.

The audit forms are clear and sample narratives are provided both in the e-mail invitation and on their website, so it's easy to look at what you're committing to beforehand. The sample narratives are extremely helpful and are specific to the shop, so you can have a good idea of what they are looking for.

Nsite advertises shops on Yahoo! Groups, and if a shop is not available when you request it, they will contact you again at your request with further invitations.

Disadvantages:

Nsite does require extensive narratives, and their forms are more time consuming than most. For a restaurant shop, this could take you an hour or more, with many specific timings, required names, and detailed information is required in every category. Compared to many other shop companies that have character limits, Nsite wants highly detailed information for their clients. Shops have specific dates and times to be completed.

Recruitment is by e-mail invitation only; no job board is available.
