Logistics don’t have to add to your plate. We have developed repeatable and scalable methods to make things a breeze.

Get the most out of your efforts


Research takes time and money, and there are ways to reduce spending on recruiters and stick to project timelines.

We know the struggle...

You know that in order to do high-quality research, you need to effectively recruit the right participants (in a timely and within budget way). 


 However, you’re constantly running into challenges like…

 

  • Finding enough people who meet your participant criteria.
  • Recruiting adequate diversity of participants (including hard-to-reach populations, people with disabilities, geographic diversity) within the recruitment timeline.
  • Finding representative users in a short amount of time.
  • Effectively screening and filtering your respondents to identify who to invite to research sessions.
  •  Eliminating bias in the recruitment process and ensuring the recruit is not creating an echo chamber
  • Running into internal politics, and gatekeeping around access to participants.



Research Recruit Bootcamp is for you if...

You want to see lower costs and better results from your research recruitment.


You like timelines that won’t derail your project.


You want to learn the secrets of repeatable and scalable recruitment techniques.


You want to devote your time to speaking with great participants and uncovering actionable insights (not stressing about the recruit).


You want to improve your recruitment skills and toolset.

When I started building customer insights practice to support our early-stage companies in understanding their customers better, I was pretty daunted and overwhelmed with the idea of efficiently recruiting the right pool or participants. Linn’s strategic and the ready-to-use templates helped my projects run smoothly and have been invaluable to me. Learning best practices has helped me save times, feel more confident, and build trust with my interviewees.

Your Instructor: Linn Vizard

Founder, Made Manifest

Over my career I’ve managed recruits for 100s of participants across 65+ projects. 


 I’m teaching this workshop because quality recruit = quality research and yet it’s rarely taught formally - it’s something people have to learn on the job. 

 Traditional design research recruitment methods are flawed and have a lot of pain points - there’s a better way ;) 

 We’ve found a lot of success with this approach on our projects and want to share what we’ve learned!


Here's what you'll learn in Research Recruit Bootcamp...

03

✓ Tactics for identifying which participants are the best fit to invite to research.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We've got A's for your Qs :

  • What if I have to recruit very specific audiences?
    We’ve used our approaches to recruit small business owners who are in the trademarking process, jewelry brand super-fans, grocery chain IT managers, building contractors, career switchers, folks with accessibility needs, kitchen renovators, and underrepresented fashion designers, to name a few.

    That said, we probably can’t help you if you’re hoping to talk to celebrities or billionaires. Let us know if you figure that one out!
  • How is this different from other [free] material out there on recruiting?
    A lot of resources cover what to do at a high level, but don’t get into the detailed specifics like when to use which recruiting method, exact wording for research comms, or case study examples with timelines and budgets.

    This course is built on 10 years + of recruiting for design research and shares the way we run our recruits at Made Manifest to tackle the specific pain points we’ve encountered.
  • Can I use what I learn in conjunction with [X] platform or approach?
    What you learn in the course will be applicable to all types of recruitment approaches and platforms.

    We’re sharing our best tips and approaches, so you can take the pieced that work for your team, context and process and adapt them.
  • Who is this not a good fit for?
    While we believe anyone who manages design research recruits will take something actionable away from this course, we will primarily be focusing on open and network style recruit approaches that tend to work best at small companies, start ups, and agencies.

    We will share what we’ve learned about working in highly regulated contexts like Healthcare and Government, however some of the approaches we share may not be suitable for these contexts.
