Market Research Respondent Recruitment Done Right: Fast, Reliable, and On-Brief

Need research respondents fast, without compromising quality? You’re in the right place. At PeopleSight, we recruit real people who match your target audience, not just whoever’s available this week. Whether you're running a focus group, depth interview, usability test, or survey, we find the right respondents, screen them properly, and make sure they show up ready to contribute.

Fast turnaround, detailed vetting, and no flakey participants. Just clean, solid recruitment that makes your project look good.

What Is Respondent Recruitment in Market Research?

Recruitment isn’t just about finding people. It’s about finding the right people. Respondents who are articulate, reliable, and have genuine relevance to the topic. That’s what turns a session from “okay” into “valuable.”

We handle:

  • ✅ Focus group recruitment (online and in-person).
  • ✅ Depth interviews (B2B and B2C).
  • ✅ UX and usability testing.
  • ✅ Online communities and diaries.
  • ✅ Quant survey panels and screener-based selection.

Our clients include insight agencies, brands, startups, and independent researchers across the UK.

Who We Can Recruit (And How We Find Them)

We recruit all types of respondents, including:

  • ✅Everyday consumers
  • ✅Business owners and decision-makers
  • ✅ Tech professionals and developers
  • ✅ Students, parents, retirees
  • ✅ Niche groups with specific behaviours or conditions.

Our recruitment methods include:

  • ✅ Our growing UK respondent panel
  • ✅ Social and digital targeting
  • ✅ Community outreach and partnerships
  • ✅ Carefully designed screeners to spot real fit (not just box-tickers)

Each respondent is pre-screened, reconfirmed, and briefed before showing up to your session.

Why Quality Recruitment Matters

Low-quality respondents can tank your entire project. You need people who are:

Thoughtful and able to express themselves

Honest about their background and behaviour

Comfortable with the research format (especially online)

Genuinely relevant to the topic, not just looking for an incentive
