Overview
Every study depends on talking to the right people. That is why Research and Metric provides respondent recruitment for research agencies and brands. Our market research respondent recruitment covers finding, screening and verifying participants for qualitative and quantitative work.
We recruit from our own networks, targeted lists and vetted panel partners. Then we check every participant against your screener before they reach you. In short, we act as a survey participant recruitment agency that confirms who takes part before your fieldwork starts.
Respondent recruitment for every type of study
- Qualitative respondent recruitmentFor focus groups, in-depth interviews, ethnography and online communities.
- Quantitative recruitmentFor online, telephone and face-to-face surveys.
- Hard-to-reach recruitmentFor specialists, executives and low-incidence groups.
- Product test recruitmentFor in-home use tests and taste tests.
How we verify every participant
Fake or mismatched respondents waste budget and damage findings, so we build verification into every study. For example, our checks include:
- Behaviour-based screeners that ask what people do, not just who they are
- Phone re-screening of every qualitative participant before confirmation
- Job title, employer and decision authority checks for B2B audiences
- Licence and practice checks for healthcare professionals
- Duplicate, fraud and professional-respondent checks across studies

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

What is respondent recruitment?
It is finding, screening and scheduling the people who take part in a research study. As a result, every interview or survey complete comes from someone who genuinely fits the brief.
Do you recruit for both qualitative and quantitative studies?
Yes. We recruit small, carefully matched groups for qualitative research. However, surveys need larger samples, so we also recruit quota-controlled samples for them.
How do you stop fake or repeat respondents?
We use behaviour-based screeners, phone re-screening, and identity and role checks. In addition, we run duplicate and participation-history checks before we confirm anyone.
Can you recruit B2B and healthcare professionals?
Yes. For B2B audiences, we verify job title, employer and decision authority. For healthcare professionals, we verify licence and current practice.
