Who we reach

Your study is only as good as the people in it

Respondent quality determines research quality. That is why recruitment stays with our own team — so you are not rebuilding a study around people who should never have qualified.

What goes wrong elsewhere

Recruitment problems we get called about

Most people arriving here have had at least one of these happen.

Low-incidence specialties

Criteria a shared panel cannot fill without quietly bending them.

Respondents who should not have qualified

Screeners passed by people who learned the right answers.

Fieldwork slipping

No-shows turning a two-week field into six.

A recruit that has already failed once

Studies picked up mid-flight when another vendor could not deliver.

Why clients come back

One team, accountable for the whole recruit

Screened in-house

Recruitment is done by our own team, not subcontracted out or drawn from a shared panel.

Fresh respondents

Reusing participants across studies is not our standard practice.

MD physicians and PhD scientists

The people writing your screener have run studies of their own, so it screens for what matters.

Healthcare only

We do not recruit for other industries, so we speak your language.

FAQ

Physician recruitment questions

Do you outsource recruitment?

No. Sourcing, screening and scheduling are done by our own team rather than subcontracted out or drawn from a shared panel.

Do you reuse the same respondents across studies?

Reusing participants across studies is not our standard practice, so your study is not hearing from people who answered similar questions for someone else recently.

How do you reach hard-to-find specialists?

We work from a network of over 2 million healthcare provider profiles, alongside established relationships with clinicians in their field, rather than relying on a single panel.

Who can you recruit besides physicians?

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants, payers, pharmacy directors, and decision-makers in hospitals, pharmacies and DSOs, across all key geographic markets.

Do you handle scheduling and honorarium payments?

Yes. We confirm times, send reminders, place the calls, and thank participants and process their honorarium payments after fieldwork.

Can you run the research as well as the recruit?

Yes. The same team fields in-depth interviews and quantitative surveys, so a project can start as a recruit and become full service without changing hands.
