A leading manufacturer of connected home devices wanted to find out more about the way that consumers in the UK and Germany use smart devices in conjunction with each other. Some examples they were looking to explore were consumers using a smart speaker to control a home heating system or using a smartphone to monitor home security while out of the house. They requested to interview customers of their own products, and also users of competitor brands.
Our team used a free find approach to recruit over 250 promising candidates, screened each one using an online questionnaire, and chose a sample of 40. We then guided the final 40 participants through the research programme, involving tasks based on a smartphone activity and completing an online diary through an app.

FieldworkHub made our participant recruitment process effortless. They supported us from start to finish, offering expert guidance, clear communication and detailed updates at every stage. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured we had the right participants for our one-to-one interviews and survey. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.
Working with the FieldworkHub team was truly a relief on a complex multi-country project. We used their local moderator and simultaneous translation services in a few markets. Winnie, as well as the local country teams, were adaptable, responsible and accommodating in a logistically challenging project. I value their partnership and will be tapping them in again on the next international project!
