Florida based vWorker.com contacted ExpertRating for providing a
customized testing solution for their 50,000 strong provider community.
The marketplace wanted a solution whereby providers could seamlessly
have their skills assessed while on the marketplace. They also wanted
the encrypted test results to be posted to the Company server in
real-time for their complete provider community. ExpertRating worked
with the client to develop a customized testing interface and a
reporting mechanism that would help the client test several hundred
candidates each day. The testing system and integration methodology have
helped deliver several thousand tests each month since February, 2005.
The testing feature helps the client differentiate between low
performing and better performing providers, and is successfully being
used as a tool for enabling buyers to select efficient service providers.
The success of the project prompted other online marketplace for
services to include skills testing in their business process. It was a
logical decision for them to choose ExpertRating's robust testing model
that had already proven itself. Today, ExpertRating provides testing
services to the world's top four online marketplace for services.

testing partner in India. Wal-Mart required a customized testing
solution based on their internal job descriptions and proprietary
evaluation system that could be deployed across multiple locations in
any country. The solution was developed from scratch after spending six

important HR activities could be controlled from Bentonville, US while
