Respondent Recruitment
There's never been a better time to put experience on your side when you need respondent recruitment for ethnographies, in-person depth interviews, telephone interviews, and focus groups—and now it's even more affordable! Here's how you benefit from our experience as a leading independent respondent recruiting firm:
You get quality respondents—every time
Gone are the days when you could get quality respondents by simply handing your project to your favorite supplier. As you know, some respondents qualify. And others qualify only on paper. There’s a big difference. We’ve been recruiting and interviewing respondents night and day, every day, for 25 years. We know the difference. So will you when you hire the respondent recruiting specialists at Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services.
You get more than just respondent recruiting
We help you solve problems before they arise by making sure your timing is right for the respondents you need, in the markets you've chosen. That your incentives and subject matter are right. We can review your screener with you to ensure you get exactly the respondents you’re expecting and offer suggestions that save you time and money.
You’re always "in the loop"
Tired of begging for recruiting progress reports? Or feeling like recruiters are on a path different from the one you’ve mapped? We field your pain! With Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, you stay informed with timely progress reports. Respondent spreadsheets are prepared and approved by career professionals. And everything is spelled correctly. We guarantee it.
You pay for respondent recruiting—nothing more
Many focus group facilities charge an "administration fee" to recruit respondents to a location other than theirs. When you need respondents for ethnographies, off-site depth interviews or telephone interviews, it costs you more. Unfortunately for you, there's no added value for the additional fee. With Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, when you need respondent recruiting, you pay for respondent recruiting. And nothing more.
You get straight talk
At Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, we don’t take every project that comes our way. Sorry. We can’t be everything to everyone. We’ll be honest with you if your project is outside of our scope of ability.
You focus on your more profitable work
Get your peace of mind back knowing that the details of your respondent recruiting are being taken care of dependably for you. And get back the many hours that you would otherwise waste cleaning up after less qualified respondent recruiters. You focus on doing what you do best. And so do we . . . making sure you get the respondents you need. And making sure you shine in front of your clients and colleagues.
A few words about customer and prospect lists . . .
When it comes to recruiting respondents, our credentials speak for themselves. And when it comes to recruiting customers and prospects from client-supplied lists, you can’t trust your lists to anyone else. List recruiting is not the same as database recruiting. Database owners can treat their respondents any way they’d like. Not so with client lists. You can’t afford to alienate a customer or prospect. We understand that. Our reputation depends on it. So does yours.
You get a higher respondent cooperation rate
Not all recruiters handle lists efficiently. When initial refusals are high, notes are sloppy and incomplete, and potential respondents are left uncontacted, it spells disaster. At Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, we know that the names on client-supplied lists are unique, and finite. Every call has to count, right from the start. Because coming up short on respondents isn’t an option.
You avoid list misuse
Focus group facilities and recruiters can use your lists for purposes other than your original intent. Such as a source for adding respondents to their in-house databases. At Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, your lists are used for the project for which they’re provided. And nothing more. We put that in writing!
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What does respondent recruiting cost?
A. With Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, your cost can be as low as $50 per respondent!
Q. What criteria do you use for getting respondents recruited at $50 apiece?
A. In order to keep costs low, we look for three criteria: (1) A plentiful pool of potential respondents; (2) Appropriate incentive and subject matter for the audience; (3) Screening criteria and quota requirements that allow us to recruit an average of one person per hour. And here's more good news: Even if your project doesn't meet the requirements for the $50 rate, you'll still find our recruiting prices more affordable than most of our competitors.
Q. How do you keep your prices this low without sacrificing quality?
A. Over two decades of field experience have led us to a proven, streamlined process for recruiting respondents—and we pass the savings this generates on to our customers. Second, since we are independent respondent recruiters and not a focus facility, your recruiting dollars don't get diverted to subsidize pricey real estate and overhead.
Q. Do you have any areas of specialization?
A. Yes! Aaron-Abrams specializes in working from lists that are supplied by the client, purchased from a sample provider, or hand assembled. We also specialize in recruiting respondents for off-site studies such as ethnographies, in-person depth interviews, and telephone interviews.
Q. Why do you offer these special services?
A. Simply because we're good at them. There's a shortage of recruiters who can handle customer and prospect lists and off-site recruiting effectively and affordably, and these abilities help our clients spend their budgets wisely.
Q. Can you help me set up and manage my qualitative research in multiple markets?
A. Yes! Our years of expertise have given us numerous working contacts in a wide variety of markets. We are capable of handling research situations like yours. To learn more, please visit our Fieldwork Management & Nationwide Project Support services.
