Ridgeline Recruiting recruits research participants from all areas of the United States to match the specific demographic needs of each client’s project. View a list of our major cities here.
What is market research?
Market research is the process of gathering and studying information about a specific market, product, or group of consumers. It aims to assess consumer needs and preferences, monitor market trends, and develop effective business and marketing strategies.
What is opinion research?
Opinion research involves asking people for their thoughts, feelings, and ideas about a certain topic. It helps us understand what people believe, like, and dislike. This type of research is used to gather viewpoints and attitudes on things like politics, policy, community, and social issues.
What does this research involve?
Opinion and market research is often conducted in the form of a focus group. A moderator usually facilitates while focus group members provide feedback on specific topics, brands, and/or products. Participants may also be asked to complete surveys or individual interviews. This type of study helps organizations understand not only what people think but why they think that way.
How do I join a research project?
Please share your contact information here, and someone from the Ridgeline Recruiting team will reach out if we have an upcoming study in your area. We work to match the exact demographics requested by clients on each project, so even if you do not hear from us right away, your information is kept on file for future projects when we need the demographic you represent.
Do you share my personal information?
Ridgeline Recruiting will never share or sell your personal information to third parties. We will contact you for the purpose of paid opinion and market research participation only—both live and remote—and never for free surveys or other study types like drug trials.
What do I need in order to participate in a project?
For an in-person project, you will meet at a local facility. Food and beverages will be provided throughout the day, and parking will be validated or reimbursed. For a remote project, you will be required to have an internet-connected laptop or tablet (not a smartphone) to participate on the Zoom platform and complete online surveys. Your laptop or tablet must have: (1) a camera turned on so we can see you are observing throughout the project, (2) speakers or headphones to listen to the content, and (3) a microphone so we can get your feedback in real-time.
How do I get paid for my participation?
At the completion of any project, Ridgeline Recruiting processes payment via a platform called Tremendous. Each study participant will receive an email at the end of the day with steps to redeem payment in the form of (1) a digital Visa card that can be used with Google Pay or Apple wallet, (2) a physical Visa card that is typically mailed within 5-7 business days, (3) a gift card from one of over 90 companies, (4) ACH, (5) Venmo, or (6) PayPal. Fees may apply.
