We've Got You Covered

Expert Recruitment for Qualitative & Quantitative Research

Careful Selection

Screen participants twice, once at initial recruitment and again during confirmation. Limelight Insights carefully tracks respondent participation so that members of our database can only participate in a very limited number of studies each year. This helps eliminate cheaters and repeaters.

Extensive Database

Maintain an exhaustive database of local respondents, searchable by numerous demographic criteria. We also keep track of their focus group participation history, suitability for different study types and subject matter expertise.

In-House

Offer in-house recruiters who are dedicated to the success of your focus groups or one-on-one interviews. Our recruiters are closely managed by full-time Limelight Insights supervisors and have experience in the consumer, business-to-business and medical fields.

Creative Thinking

Apply innovative and creative thinking to find the right people for your study despite challenging criteria. The art of recruiting is in thinking outside of the box, applying seasoned expertise and in knowing how gratifying it is for everyone when a difficult challenge is creatively solved.

Equal Attention

Provide equal energy and attention to detail into quantitative studies, including product placement studies, sensory tests, in-store intercepts, mystery shopping, and web-based surveys. The way we see it, every service we perform should put you in the “limelight.”

Innovative Technology

When appropriate, we leverage an innovative recruiting software package that enables us to target and recruit your research participants more efficiently.

See What Our Clients Have to Say

Wow!! I have no other words. Just wow. That was an absolutely fantastic group. Perfect recruit. After we were finished and dismissed folks, my boss said to me: “worth every penny.” To me, that’s value, and you’ve certainly proved your value today here with this project. That was the best focus group we have done in a very, very long time - I honestly cannot remember a better one - and I have not a single complaint or issue to note. Not one!! You all made my job a lot easier and I just want to thank you so much for the work that went into this recruit because it was a huge success.
