Screening is a must.

I do NOT make exceptions.

It doesn't matter how "nice" or "good looking" you are.

That said, I do try to make it easy and to give plenty of options.

​

 

Do you have a LinkedIn profile with a photo?

It's fast, easy, and usually works.

---​

 I can call you at the office.

I can say I am whoever you want me to be when I call.

Vendor? Nurse? Lawyers secretary? Etc.

---​

 Do you have an organizational email?.

If so, I have a second, discrete, email myself to use.

It's easy to exchange a discrete email or two there. 

---

Is there is a photo of you on a company website?

---

Is there an ​​article written by or about you with a photo?

​ ​​---

I could Goo​gle you​ if you tell me who and where to search​.

 ​---

Drivers license and selfie with your address blacked out.

If this is your preference you must text me from a real number too.

It's too easy to make or manipulate a photo or screen shot online.

---

Facebook, IG, or Twitter can sometimes work.

You must be an active user and the account can't be a new one.

​---

 ​ ​Provider reference may work.
There should be at least two and they must be recent.

Also, how much weight I give them is up to me.  

---

Vouches on boards like RS-AVS,TNA, P411,and PD can work. .

My membership on most of them is still pending.

But there are work arounds for all of them. .

---​

I do not need all of the above.

But I need two of something.

​

Basically I need a way to know that you are who you say you are.

Also, that it's safe to invite you over here or visit you there.
