Question ID: 760197
I am looking for an experienced freelance internet researcher to work
for our company on different projects (not fulltime) but on an ongoing
basis so they understand our company and business. I would like a list
of up to 20 qualified candidates with CV's with contact details and
web sites - examples of research carried out would be perfect, failing
that tips on qualifying CV's would do. Would prefer individuals but
companies accepted as well. (We want to keep the research private
otherwise we would use Google Answers).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards
