Company news

We are truly living in unique times. The coronavirus pandemic is impacting everyone from our families, to our businesses, to our first responders who are bravely on the front lines. As the situation continues to affect our world, we want to reach out and update you on how we’re supporting our employees and our clients.

On May 25, 2018, the most significant piece of European data protection legislation to be introduced in 20 years will come into force when the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. We know that preparing for this regulatory change is a priority for many of our customers and it is equally a priority for us. That is why we are already busy making our survey tool fully GDPR compliant. Today, we are updating our privacy policy which has been specifically adjusted to reflect the new regulation.

Champagne for everyone, because we’ve got some great and exciting news! Capterra has named us in their Top 20 Most Popular Survey Software report. We’re included for the very first time this year and we already ranked 18th, so we couldn’t be more proud.

As a survey software provider it’s our job to keep our clients’ data safe. So far, we have earned the trust of 10,000+ users around the world, however, that doesn’t mean we can rest on our laurels. Our developers are working hard on new ways to keep your data locked all the time. Here’s a run down of our survey security policy.

We here at CheckMarket always like a good pat on the back … So thank you, AnalyticsTool! In their survey tool review they praised our “powerful survey software” for its “ease of use”, “multilanguage functionality”, “automated notifications” and “flexible pricing options” … And who are we to argue?

On April 7, 2014, a team of security researchers announced the discovery of a critical vulnerability dubbed “The Heartbleed Bug”, found in OpenSSL (a widely-used open source cryptographic software library), which allows attackers to read the memory of the systems using vulnerable versions of OpenSSL software.

For the fourth time in a row KBC Bank and Insurance teamed up with CheckMarket to award the prize for the most customer-oriented SME. In this project CheckMarket proved once more to be a reliable partner for full service survey projects. This year the prize was awarded to DOVY kitchens. A jury of experts awarded the prize after analysis of a satisfaction survey by all customers of the participating companies and an intense interview and audit with managers of the companies.

Do you know someone who wants to help build CheckMarket? We continue to grow and are looking for fresh forces. Who do we need?

Front End Web Developer

A talented expert who can further develop our survey tool along with our Development Team. He or she likes working on the client side and has an eye for beautiful and user-friendly interfaces.

Market Research Project Manager

An organizer who can easily and accurately support survey projects for our national and international clients from the proposal phase to the analysis. In addition, he or she takes care of the further expansion of our client base.

Do you have ambition or know someone from the province of Antwerp? Let us know!

On March 20th 2009, CheckMarket created an account on Twitter. Today we have already ‘tweeted’ over 1,200 times. We often post short tips and tricks for creating surveys and doing research.

Since October 2010 CheckMarket has become member of ESOMAR.

ESOMAR is an international market research organization with more than 4.800 members in over 120 countries.

This association was founded in 1948, and has as a mission to encourage, advance and elevate market and customer research worldwide. ESOMAR’s main objective is to promote the importance of market and opinion research as a way to gain insight into specific topics and issues in order to make effective business decisions. To achieve this ESOMAR offers a wide range of sector-specific conferences, publications and communication platforms.

The CheckMarket team isn’t just a well-oiled machine; we have a great deal of hidden (acting) talent in our ranks. A short while ago we took the initiative of highlighting CheckMarket’s qualities via a short, light-hearted film. Our members of staff put their best feet forward to demonstrate how market research should definitely not be carried out.

It probably won’t get an Oscar nomination but after a great number of takes we can finally show you the results.

You may already know that CheckMarket is a company that’s still expanding from earlier editions of our newsletter. First we moved premises, then we expanded when our support team as well as our design team grew in number. Establishing the paper team was a new and important step, but it’s not over yet.

This past year we have welcomed another four new colleagues into the fold who will provide the same quality or an even better service, each within their own discipline.
