Our Proven Process

How It Works

Finding the right people for your research shouldn’t be a headache. That’s where we come in. Our proven process recruits participants who are engaged, reliable, and ready to take part. That way, you can focus on what truly matters: gaining valuable insights.

We receive your brief

Everything starts here. We get to know your project, audience, and objectives so we can recruit the right people for your research.

Tailored screener

We create a custom screener and participant schedule from your brief, shared through secure links that make reviewing and collaborating effortless.

Recruitment begins

We get moving fast, using all the tools in our kit: our participant database, referral networks, targeted marketing, social media outreach, and good old-fashioned free-find methods.

Thorough screening

Each participant is screened twice. First online, then over the phone. We use neutral, open-ended questions to make sure they’re the right fit and fully engaged.

Client approval

Nothing moves forward without your say-so. You sign off on the screener, schedule, and every participant we put forward.

Participant confirmations

Our layered process of confirmations, reminders and final check-ins helps reduce no-shows and keeps everything running to plan.

Daily updates

We keep you in the loop with regular updates and aim to have recruitment wrapped up two working days before the first session.

On-hand support

We're available on the day of research to help with any last-minute changes or technical challenges, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Incentive handling

We can manage participant incentives for you and process payments within three working days of confirmed attendance. Prefer to handle incentives yourself? No problem. We’ll support whichever approach you choose.
