Recruit participants
Participant quality
Get feedback that actually reflects your users
Highly rated participants
Our scoring system weighs researcher ratings and past session history, so the strongest candidates surface first.
Bad actors screened early
Fraud detection tracks several behavioural signals and removes suspect accounts long before they can apply to a study.
Fair incentives, willing participants
Every cent of an incentive reaches the participant. Not sure what to offer? Work it out with our incentive calculator.
“Verbatim has bailed us out more times than I can count when a study needed niche participants in a hurry. Genuinely recommended.”
Expert targeting
Recruit with confidence, backed by real people
A panel that scales with demand
We watch demand data week by week and grow the panel to match, so the participants you need are already waiting.
Only pay for sessions that happen
No-shows and sessions that fall apart never hit your invoice. We keep that risk on our side of the table.
Smart targeting means fast recruits
Our matching engine reads profiles and research history to surface people who fit your criteria, however unusual it is.
A dedicated project coordinator
Your PC makes sure the participants you need land in the calendar on the timeline you actually have.
Target the right participants with categories like…
Industry Add-on
Pick from 160+ industry categories, from credit unions through to clinical care.
Job titles Add-on
Target by job title. We return exact and near-fit options for you to approve.
Demographics
Narrow by demographic characteristics such as age, education level, or household composition.
Location
Target by city, state (US), or country. We currently recruit across all 50 US states, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Germany, and Kenya.
Technology
Narrow by technical setup, including desktop or mobile operating system, browser, and webcam availability.
Custom screener surveys
Write your own screener with multiple choice, short answer, skip logic, and long-form questions to qualify the people you want.
