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.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for more. The recruits were exactly the profile we were hoping to get, and we got a really good mix. All respondents showed up (a rare thing these days), and all contributed meaningfully. Your team was on point with communication and support – both your project managers were extremely attentive and responsive. All in all, it’s been a great experience. Thank you so much for delivering for us.
FieldworkHub has been a great research partner to me and my team. Caroline and Cornelius were incredibly proactive, helping us anticipate any issues that might come up and plan for how to handle them. Even though it did turn out to be a challenging project, things went smoothly because we were one step ahead. The team went above and beyond to help ensure our goals were met.
