Description:

Trust in sample quality is low within the research industry. Many researchers worry that too few people are taking part in research, raising questions about the validity of participants’ responses in both quantitative and qualitative research.

Hugh Carling, creator of Behavioural Recruitment, is addressing this issue by using Facebook’s unparalleled data on what people have actually done – rather than what they say they’ve done – to help researchers find authentic, representative participants who are fresh to research.

Hugh provides a detailed explanation of how the method works – combining the targeting functionality of Facebook advertising with screening – and shares what he has learned from using this approach to recruit thousands of fresh participants in over 65 countries, for qual, quant, online and face-to-face projects.

If you’re concerned about finding high quality participants to take part in your research studies, then this Speaker Evening is for you.
