Recruiting

ARG’s trained, and experienced recruiting specialists excel at recruiting consumers, business respondents, C-suite executives, health care professionals and low incidence respondents. We do the detective work required to find that exact respondent who meets all the necessary qualifications.

Our 92% show rate is based on diligent follow through, clear communications and our recruiting team's ability to differentiate between those who are truly interested in participating in the study versus potential "no-show" respondents. Our team's follow through after the recruit including timely confirmation letters, emails and telephone calls, as well as proactive cancellation replacement initiatives ensures a successful project recruited exactly according to your specifications.

Advisory Councils, Proprietary Databases and Panels

We create and manage Proprietary Online Panels, Advisory Councils, and MROC – Market Research Online Communities to provide insight and direction.

Members are selected based on established criteria and invited to be part of Councils or Panels that meet online, in-person, or via the telephone to participate in discussions or surveys based on client needs.

These communities provide instant access to a qualified group of individuals to gain insights and reactions to new ideas, concepts, products, or advertising.

These panels and councils include for example consumers with specific medical needs, users of specific types of products, special interest groups, business professionals, or dealers representing and selling specific product brands.
