Market Research Recruitment

Market research recruitment is a critical process in gathering data and conducting effective market research. It involves identifying and enlisting individuals who meet specific criteria to participate in research studies such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, or product testing. The value of market research recruitment lies in its ability to ensure that the data collected is representative, reliable, and relevant to the research objectives.

At Decision Point, we offer dedicated recruitment services for businesses worldwide, offering large proprietary multicultural and general population databases in Canada and the USA to pull from and experts in recruiting participants from niche, hard-to-reach groups.

We believe that it’s important to get a true representation of the population you’re studying. That’s why we include members of the Indigenous community in our multicultural database. Our team has completed Indigenous qualitative research studies across Canada, including in rural areas, on reserves, and in urban areas.

Our Market Research Recruiting Services

Recruitment isn’t about using a large database of participants. It means using rigorous recruitment techniques to find the exact demographics you’re looking for. At Decision Point, we use several techniques to recruit the ideal participants. Here’s a few examples.

Moderation (English, Punjabi & Mandarin)

Decision Point moderators specialize in eliciting the full range of ideas, attitudes, experiences, and opinions held by the selected sample of respondents, in order to deliver independent, honest, and unbiased feedback. From encouraging open dialogue in focus groups to establishing rapport in one-on-one interviews, our moderators have the experience to achieve the results you need. All Decision Point interviewers and moderators undergo extensive training and monitoring, and are chosen based on their experience in conducting past studies, communication skills, and bilingual capabilities. These skills contribute to in-depth data. For each study, moderators will attend a comprehensive training session including a briefing on the design of the questionnaire and an information session on the sensitivities of the assignment.

Optional Multi-Language Moderation

At Decision Point Research, we can provide a complete range of multilingual data collection services using native language speakers. Our moderators specialize in English, French, Punjabi, and Mandarin; we also have access to moderators in many other languages. We are one of a few market research companies that recruit and moderate in languages other than English and French. Contact us today to get started!

Ethnographies

Ethnographies are deep dives into the everyday lifestyle of your targeted audience. Decision Point will recruit ethnography respondents and conduct the research to give you true understanding of how a specific group uses a product, shops, browses the internet, behaves in a specific location, and more. Senior Researchers will observe recruits as they go about their natural behaviour in the given environment, and then follow up with questions to obtain in-depth explanations and insight. Observing respondents in a natural environment allows us to record information that may not be self-reported in a traditional survey-style study. Through this combination of in-context observation and skilled interviewing, research teams will provide you with comprehensive data. We will recruit participants, conduct the research, analyze the results, and generate reports, ultimately providing you with applicable qualitative data for your specific needs. Contact us today to get started!

Recruit to Web

Recruit the right respondents for your online research with our recruit-to-web capabilities. Tapping into our extensive databases, through phone calls, and using our decades of recruiting experience, we will gather participants in your target audience to complete online surveys from home. Through this methodology you can generate a high volume of quantitative data with unbiased respondent opinions. We specialize in recruiting hard-to-reach audiences, such as immigrants, specific ethnic communities, healthcare practitioners, busy business professionals, and more. Contact us today to get started!

Online Bulletin Boards

Decision Point will recruit your target audience, for example consumers or business professionals, to participate in online bulletin boards (OBB). OBBs are online “message board” discussions moderated by senior researchers, who pose questions and assignments for participants to respond to over the course of the study. OBBs are ideal for:

  • Exploratory research
  • Anonymous research of sensitive topics
  • Busy target markets (e.g. medical practitioners or high-level business professionals)
  • Children, teens, and young adults
  • Complementing other ongoing studies
At the conclusion of the study, senior researchers will provide a report and analysis of the data collected, as it relates to your needs and goals. Contact us today to get started!

We Work Hard to Understand Your Objectives

Before starting recruiting and research, we ensure we have a solid understanding of your objectives and business needs. This includes a discussion of what you want to achieve through the research and how the results will be used within your organization. Taking the time to become familiar with your business objectives at the onset of the project is critical for ensuring the correct respondents are recruited. We will confirm with you the types of respondents who should be participating in the research, based on a combination of your guidance and our experience in achieving results.
