Experience Level: Intermediate

Hi,
After a successful initial test of our data entry system, we require several intelligent, hard-working, analytical homeworkers to gather key information from client websites and enter it into our online form system.
We have a database of companies supplied by our partners who have agreed to trial our website control and management software. We need to collect key information from their existing websites such as current page structure, services, contact information, etc. Your task will be to collect this information and enter it into a several-part online form for submission to our development team, who will then use the data to integrate their website into our software so they can trial it.
Due to the nature of the role, candidates will require a good working knowledge of UK business customs and geographical locations so we’re inclined to lean towards UK residents or expatriates but all entries are welcome and will be considered.
REQUIREMENTS
> Important - a dual monitor set-up, or if you use a laptop and have access to a second monitor we can show you how to set this up. To speed the process up considerably we use quite a lot of drag and drop technology, with items on the left screen you can drag to the right screen, which saves switching constantly between windows and copying and pasting all the time. Once you have a two-monitor setup you will wonder how you managed without! At this moment in time, the online form system has been optimised for Windows so your machine must be running XP or later.
> Flexibility and practical thinking - some client sites will have most of the information to copy easily, others may require you selecting suitable template material from our collection, and others may need you to compact or expand on content a bit and do a bit of copywriting to pad things out. You will need to quickly assess a site's tone and essential services and selling points then select or write suitable content. Note we are not talking about pages and page of copy here, just rewording to make long descriptions shorter or Googling a certain service a client offers if they don't offer a description so you can enter one.
> Good grammar and spelling - sometimes the clients' sites will need a bit of correction as the info is transferred into our system!
> An eye for selecting and cropping good images - you don’t need to be a designer or Photoshop pro, just a keen eye for aesthetics!
> Strong work ethic - we are running to some fairly tight deadlines and ask that our workers are able to maintain a reasonable output during their work sessions whilst maintaining quality.
BENEFITS
> A good flow of work - as there is a pretty large database of clients to get through so really provided the quality of submissions stays high we can give you as many hours as you want, on an ongoing basis
> An efficient system that we can tailor to your needs - we think our system is pretty clever, but then we would because we built it! We encourage you to suggest any features or let us know about any bugs you find so we can improve the system for you and everyone else using it and make your job easier
> Work remotely and any time - we will put a pool of sites we need assessing in every week, and you can reserve how many you want to do. Then it doesn't matter the time of day or night, just as long as they get done that week. If you are busy or away just don't reserve any and the hours can go to someone else that week.
Any questions please do let us know, are are more than happy to help in anyway possible if it will assist in finding the right candidates.
Please let us know if you already have a dual-monitor setup, or have a laptop and can get hold of a separate monitor, in your proposal, and an indication of roughly how many hours a week you might usually have available would be useful though not essential.
Many thanks,
Steve & Luke
