Recruitment for qualitative research
Is your qualitative research speaking to the right people? Stop searching. We recruit the exact profile you need — from ultra-segmented samples to niche specialists — so that the conversation happens with those who truly have something to say about your topic.
PainelTAP's recruitment strategy is based on technology and the experience of recruiters.
Four things sustain recruitment and none of them is the contact list. It's their combination that guarantees the success of your project.
- 01
Broad and diverse community
People eligible to participate in qualitative and quantitative research projects, in-depth surveys, focus groups, and others — instead of a hastily assembled list for your project.
- 02
From B2C audience to B2B niche
The database includes a wide range of demographic profiles, interests, and experiences at a national level, including profiles such as decision-makers.
- 03
Recruiters with selection filters
Our recruiters use filters to improve the selection criteria for the people who will contribute insights to your project. Such criteria ensure the quality of the recruited base.
- 04
Monitoring until final delivery
An essential part of our commitment is to ensure excellence at every stage: from rigorous monitoring in respondent selection to final delivery and project success.
What you receive when you contract recruitment
Recruiting is not sending a list of names. It's delivering the right people, confirmed and present at the scheduled time — which is where qualitative projects often break down.
Screening according to the script profile
Your script's criteria become a recruitment questionnaire. Those who don't pass are not invited, and this is done before there's an agenda to cancel.
Participant scheduling
Date, time, and channel agreed with each person, within the window you defined for moderation.
Confirmation before the session
Reconfirmation with participants before the scheduled time. This is the step that separates a full room from a room with half the guests.
Recruited person's record
You know why each person entered: the criterion they meet and the screening responses that qualified them.
Number of participants, number of sessions, deadline, and scope are defined in the briefing — they change completely between a focus group and a sequence of in-depth interviews, and publishing a fixed number here would be publishing a wrong number for almost every project.
Why qualitative recruitment fails
It's almost never a lack of willing people. It's these four things, and all four are resolved before recruitment begins.
The criterion is not verifiable
A profile described in presentation language needs to become an objective question. Without this, the recruiter decides by eye and each session becomes another sample.
The scheduling window is too narrow.
Rare profile with a single time slot is the combination that most often derails a qualitative project. Two or three alternative windows change the outcome.
The script changes after recruitment
Changing the profile in the middle invalidates those already confirmed. It's worth closing the script before screening begins.
Nobody predicted the absence
Absence happens in any qualitative field. The replacement plan must exist from the beginning, not be invented the day before.
What the recruitment proposal needs
The more of these items that come closed, the firmer the deadline.
- The profile of participants, with non-negotiable criteria
- The format: focus group, in-depth interview, diary, or test
- How many participants and how many sessions
- The available scheduling window for moderation.
- The channel — in-person, video, or phone
- If there's an incentive planned for participants
