The Blue Board is a ProZ.com feature which provides translators, interpreters and other service providers with a means of entering a number from 1 to 5 representing their Likelihood of Working Again (LWA) with a given outsourcer (ie. client or translation company/agency). By way of explanation, the service providers can also enter a line of text along with the number. In response, the outsourcer may enter a line of text of their own.

Service providers may make one entry per outsourcer per year--provided that they have worked for the outsourcer again before adding an additional entry. Multiple entries may not be made on the basis of a single experience.

Outsourcers who are listed and have received positive entries report a higher degree of trust and shortened project launch cycles among those service providers who reference the Blue Board.

For feedback posted by outsourcers on service providers please visit the WWA page.
