Definitely strange...
"Also, please keep in mind that all new clients must pass pre-screening before confirmation of initial appointment.
Rates posted are all inclusive."
Hmm....
Has anyone had experience with any providers on executiveservicesco.com?
The day before I wanted to set up an appointment, their site was down...and was down for a few days.
I called the toll free number from the site and it didn't work either, but I found a local number that I haven't called yet.
I was told by a friend to stay away from services that 'disappear' like this, but I REALLY wanted to see if they're legit or not.
Additionally, all the providers say they have good reviews on TER, but all the profiles have been removed.
Should I stay away or is this just a coincidence?

On the surface it appears to provide PA's for traveling executives. I can't find anything on the site, or on TER that would suggest that is is hobby related, EXCEPT that it is stated that new clients must be pre-screened, fees are all inclusive, and the some of the assistants appear in different cities with different names.
I may be a sub-management Dilbert type, but please take my advice. If you need a PA on your travels, hire a PA, I'm sure Kelley or Manpower can meet your needs!!! And if you want an escort, hire an escort!!! Don't think that you can do both in one, it rarely works!!!

From the site's "Career" page...
"Females between the ages of 21 and 30 with no children due to the variety of scheduling and demanding hours...Applicant must posses charm, wit, intellect and exceptional physical beauty. Must also be honest, ambitious, well groomedand very well-spoken."
That is the least EOE-friendly temp agency I've ever heard of. I love it!

Sorry for not posting this before... when you click on any of the "PAs" you'll need to enter this code: 1877.
You'll see the 'services' they provide.
There are two providers here that really have my attention.

santand, if you are honestly a newbie - PLEASE move on!!! There are way too many fantastic ladies who are well reviewed to take chances!!!
I'm curious, just where did you get this code?!? I've tried calling their number a few times, and got either a fast busy signal, or "your call couldn't be completed as dialed".
Like I said santand, if you are truly a newbie, there are way too many red flags - no rates, phone number doesn't work, TER provider profiles no longer available, screening is mentioned, but no form, etc, move on.
Of course santand could be the "brains" behind the site, trying to advertise on the newbie board, SHAME ON HIM!!!

jazz32, thanks for your advice. I guess I got "caught up". I tend to try to make something from nothing...but this time could have been to my detriment.
I got the code from the site about a month ago...the code still works, but nothing else does.
I thought it was a pretty decent concept and the providers seem nice...but you're totally right about too many red flags.
moving on...
thanks again!
