As an MTR host, I use the Turno app. When I have a turnover, it sends the job out to local cleaners and inspectors, and I get bids back. I can choose based on price, reviews, or timing. It syncs with my booking calendar, and I can pay and tip right through the app. The app would market your services

@Kelly Bailey Thanks for the clarification! I had forgotten that the results are good for 60 days. Also, it never occurred to me to pay. I must have blindly clicked the button for guest to pay.

Hi! I use keycheck through FF as well. It sends the guest the link via email for them, and they fill in all of the sensitive information and pay. Only the results are sent to you. If he wants tu to pay, he would have to give you all of his sensitive info.
That being said, some jobs (travel nurses) already screen their employees before their next travel assignment. If they can send you those results with the social security number and birthdate blacked out then you could choose to waive the screening altogether.

I agree. The number of views on my dashboard doesn’t change when I check my listing. Sometimes it takes a day to update, and at first, I thought maybe it wasn’t counting me since I was logged in. To test it, I asked a friend to view my listing to see if the number increased. It did not. I tried again a week later, and the number of views still hadn’t updated.

I hired an online designer to make sure my listing appealed directly to these groups.
@Shannon Strickland Would you mind sharing your online designer contact information??

Hi Melissa. As far as medical professionals go I don’t think you can lose. Columbus has three level one trauma centers and those people ALWAYS need MTRs. Two are adult, and one children’s. Think about smaller spaces, like 1 or 2 bedrooms.

Not right now I'm currently looking in Baton Rouge, Addis, LA and SE Texas
Let me know if you need boots on the ground in Addis. It’s just a mile away.
