Qualitative Research Recruitment

Qualitative research recruitment is what we live and breathe at Saros. If you need participants for focus groups, depth interviews, online communities, friendship pairs, co-creation workshops, deliberative forums, accompanied shopping trips, Saros can source them.

We combine the power of the largest qualitative database in the UK with high level Project Managers, so every participant is rigorously screened by phone to ensure that they meet the criteria, both hard and soft.

User Experience

Mobile web, application testing, gaming on every platform – we have a great specialist team to deliver on your most challenging briefs. User experience / usability test participant recruitment is a core strength for Saros Research, and we have specialist Project Managers who are expert at finding the precisely-matching respondents you need. Taking part in a one-to-one UX test is a very different respondent experience to sipping wine at a focus group. We ensure your participants are prepared and engaged with what to expect in your session. We can accommodate specific requests for eye-tracking, and facilitate online projects or pre-tasking.
