Ever needed a lawyer, accountant, seamstress, plumber or any one of a thousand other service providers? Where do you look first? Yellow Pages? Maybe. I ask friends.
I just went through this process looking for a good Real Estate Agent. Not a painful process, but a slow one; calling around, having people e-mail their people’s coordinates to me, talking to each recommendation, etc.
A new Toronto-based web startup, Gigpark saves me this time and gives some transparency to who my friends would recommend without me having to poll them all individually. With a slick user interface and, having already found three potential service providers through their system, I highly recommend you check it out!
