Sassie - For those new to submitting applications for secret shoppping, sooner or later you will come across Sassie.  Sassie is a computer program used by several companies in the secret shopping industry but is not the company itself.  I mention this because the applications can look familiar each time, but this does not necessarily mean an application has been submitted to that particular company.  

Additionally, several companies that use Sassie offer lists of jobs available on their sites.   Personally, I have found Sassie to be one of the easiest overall systems to use for submitting applications and looking for work in my area.

Here are specific instructions for using Sassie after submitting an application:

1.) Enter email address and password

2.) Click on "Job Board" located at the top of the screen.  If the company offers a list of jobs on their site, proceed to next step (most do).

3.) Decide how to seach for shops.  They can be searched by country, state, or radius of a given zip code, and search.

4.) Once a shop of interest has been found, click on the button on the left side of the list.  This button will most often say, "View Details" but could also say, "Self Assigining" or something to that effect.

5.) Shop details should be available on the left side of the screen and include dates and pay.  If interested, on the right side of the screen, at the top, there should be a button that reads "Apply for this job" "Complete this Assignment"  or similar words under shopper's email and password information.  From here, follow prompts, if any. 

*Note...if the right side of screen is missing "shopper information" it may be "shopper's profile" needs to be updated.

Here are direct links to three of the many companies that use SASSIE:

BARE - Click on "New Shopper Sign Up"  Then click again on "New Shopper Sign-Up" on the next page.

Franchise Compliance -  Click on "Field Consultant Registration."

Intellishop - Click on "Shopper Area"  Click on "Become a Shopper"  Read IC agreement."   If you agree, click on"I Agree."  This will take you to Sassie.

New to Secret Shopping? I recommned reading, "Getting Started," and "MSPA."
