The work
Online surveys and research-panel studies
Focus groups and one-to-one user interviews
Mystery shopping and product testing, online or in person
Small microtasks: categorising, checking and short data work
Vetting for this role
General vetting isn't enough. These are the checks specific to this role, on top of the skill tests every applicant takes.
Real task history
People who have genuinely completed studies, tests or microtasks before — not just signed up somewhere.
Follow-through
We check they finish what they start. Half-done surveys and no-shows don't make the shortlist.
Clear, honest feedback
For research and testing, we look for people who explain what they noticed, not just tick boxes.
Typical engagements
One-off, same week
A survey batch, a round of product testing, or a short microtask job, done once with a clear deadline.
Over a few weeks
Focus groups, user interviews or repeated tests across a launch, scheduled in advance.
Ongoing, flexible
Someone you can send small paid tasks to as they come up, without a fixed commitment on either side.
Typical ranges, not quotes. Your brief decides the scope and the timeline.
Surveys & microtasks: questions
No, and we don't pretend it is. This is flexible, task-based work paid per survey, session or task — a useful top-up or an entry point, not a salary. We're honest about that with everyone in the pool.
Per completed study, session or task, at a rate you set in the brief. Tell us the pay and the volume and we'll shortlist people happy to work on those terms.
Yes. One-off studies are the most common request here. Put the task, the number of people and the timing in your brief and we'll come back with a shortlist.
Start a brief
Send a short brief — role, budget, timeline. We'll come back with two or three people we'd hire ourselves, usually within 48 hours.
