|
| What recruitment panel are you integrated with? | We’ve designed our approach to be panel-agnostic.

The fastest matches include common job roles like customer support, retail, hospitality, analysts, and project managers, as well as high-incidence traits like full-time employment, age ranges like 21–49, and mid-sized company professionals. We also frequently recruit across industries such as tech, healthcare, finance, and education. And because Project Agent is panel-agnostic, you’re not limited. Even niche or hard-to-reach audiences are within reach. |
| What is the confidence for healthcare recruitment? | We have strong confidence in our ability to recruit participants within the healthcare industry, particularly across English-speaking markets and especially in the U.S. Depending on the targeting specifics - roles, specialties, or geographic focus, we can provide more detailed feasibility estimates. |
