Respondent Recruiting
Getting quality respondents for your qualitative market research is challenging. You know it. So do we. We’re Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services. We’ve been recruiting respondents for qualitative market researchers for more than two decades. We’d like to share our expertise with you. Because you deserve to get the right respondents for your qualitative market research.
Here's what we do—and how you benefit:
You get the right 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 recruiting specialists at Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services.
You avoid "career respondents"
One of the most important decisions respondent recruiters make is where to find fresh respondents for your studies. At Aaron-Abrams Field Support Services, we believe that sources such as Craigslist and mass registration pages on research suppliers' websites do not give you the best respondents. By avoiding people who actively seek paid research opportunities, you get respondents who participate in your research for the right reasons, not just for the money.
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 shine in front of your clients and colleagues. And delivering the right respondents for your qualitative market research.
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!
