Overview

Good fieldwork is mostly good management. It means the right sample and the right interviewers. It also means quotas watched every day and problems fixed before they reach the data. Research and Metric provides market research fieldwork management for agencies. We act as one accountable research agency fieldwork partner, from launch to final file.

A named project manager owns your study, coordinates every method and market, and keeps you updated daily. As a result, global market research fieldwork runs to one plan rather than several.

What fieldwork management covers

Our market research fieldwork services cover each stage of data collection.

  • Sample planning, quota design and incidence checks
  • Interviewer recruitment, briefing and supervision
  • Method coordination across online, CATI, CAPI and in-home tests
  • Daily field reports with completes, incidence and quota gaps
  • Data checks, back-checks and a final quality report

Quotas are tracked daily, so gaps are closed before fieldwork ends.

Quality control at every stage

For this reason, we catch issues during fieldwork, not after it.

  • Pilot or soft launch before full fieldwork
  • Call recording, GPS and timing checks on interviewer-led work
  • Back-checks on a share of face-to-face and telephone interviews
  • Fraud, speeder and duplicate checks on online completes
  • Documented sign-off before data is delivered

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Cannot find your answer? Ask our team or email contact@researchandmetric.com.

What is fieldwork management in market research?

It is planning and running the data collection stage of a study. This covers sample, interviewers, quotas, timing and quality control, from launch to final data.

Can you manage several methods in one study?

Yes. We regularly combine CATI, CAPI and online fieldwork, plus in-home methods, under one project manager and one timeline.

How often will we get updates?

You get a daily field report with completes, incidence and quota gaps. We also flag any risk to timing straight away.

Do you back-check interviews?

Yes. We back-check a share of interviewer-led interviews. We also use call recording, GPS and timing checks where the method allows.
