How It Works
The first step toward becoming a focus group participant is to complete our online application form. After you fill out the application, it is reviewed by our team of recruiters. Those who are a good fit for the project will be contacted to do a brief phone interview. After the all the phone interviews are conducted, our recruiters will select the group for the project. Everyone who applies to a project posted for a particular place & date for a will be notified by phone or email whether or not they have been chosen to be a participant. If you don’t see a project posted right now for your area, please sign up for the “General Registration For Future Projects” and we will email you if we are hiring for a new focus group in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I fill out an application to a project, does that mean I am automatically hired?
A: No. If your application meets the requirements for the project, one of our recruiters will call you for a brief phone interview. If you are selected, you will get a confirmation email from one of our recruiters with further information on the details of the participation in the project. All people who apply for a project will get notified of whether they are selected or not.
Q: How do I get paid if I work for you?
A: We offer compensation via a check sent in the mail which takes about two weeks to reach your mailbox or Direct Deposit which takes about four business days to reach your bank account.
Q: Can I participate in a project that is not in my location of residence if it is online?
A: No. All of our projects are location specific and we can only hire participants that reside in the location where the project is taking place.
Q: What if there is not a focus group being held in my area, but I still want to participate?
A: If we are not currently hosting a focus group in your area, please register for the "Generic Registration" on the bottom of list of locations. After you apply for the generic registration, when we do have a project in your area, you will be notified via email and invited to apply. We are adding and updating our projects everyday so this is the best way to be notified when we are in your area!
