Has anyone had similar experience? ▲ Collapse

You can create a Blue Board record for the company Aug 25, 2011

Hello Neide,

If there is no Blue Board record, you can create one: unlike the requirement for entering an LWA (Likelihood to Work Again rating) in a Blue Board record, you do not need to have actually been hired by an outsourcer to create a Blue Board record. Here is the direct link for creating a new BB record:

Once you create a BB record, others can post their feedback about their experience with the outsourcer. ▲ Collapse
