Participant Recruitment
Recruitment is where most studies quietly fail. We screen for identity, eligibility and attentiveness before anyone reaches your study, re-screen at the door, and over-recruit so a no-show never costs you a session.
- Panel
- 3.2M screened US members
- Coverage
- United States — all 50 states
- Audiences
- General population, B2B, HCP, patient, specialist
- Over-recruitment
- 20% standard on qualitative sessions
- Show rate
- Guaranteed seats — replacements at our cost
- Incentives
- Handled, distributed and reconciled by us
Fit
When participant recruitment are the right call
- You have your own moderators or platform and need the people
- Your audience is low-incidence, professional or clinical
- A previous recruit delivered participants who did not match spec
- You need recruiting across several US markets handled under one contract
And when they are not
We do not supply unscreened list rentals. Every participant we deliver has been verified and screened against your criteria — which is slower than a list, and the reason the sessions work.

How it runs
Running participant recruitment with Research Stake
Screener design
We write the screener with you, including the security questions that filter out professional respondents and the articulation check that filters out people who will not speak in a group.
Sourcing
Our own panel first, then targeted sourcing for low-incidence profiles — professional associations, verified practice lists and partner panels, all identity-checked before they reach you.
Verification
Identity, device and geo consistency, duplicate detection across studies, and credential verification for professional and clinical audiences.
Management
Confirmation calls, reminders, standard over-recruitment, standby participants, and full incentive handling and distribution after the session.
Formats we offer
- Proprietary US panel plus targeted sourcing for low-incidence audiences
