FieldworkHub worked with a research agency in the UK to recruit respondents in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland and Latvia for online focus groups. The client was supporting the European Commission on a project about the dissemination of information about EU-funded science projects. They wanted respondents who were interested in science, and had different levels of trust towards the European Commission other European institutions.
Our experienced project delivery team also consulted on the screener survey that was used to assess participants’ suitability for the research, which helped ensure that the right profiles were invited to take part. FieldworkHub recruited seven respondents in each country to take part in a focus group held on Microsoft Teams, satisfying all of the demographic criteria. All but three of the respondents that we recruited took part, allowing the client to gather lots of valuable insights from the groups.

We reached out to FieldworkHub after another firm told us they were not able to keep their commitment. Not only did Caroline respond to my email almost immediately, she picked up the phone and talked to me about my needs. Her team was super responsive and flexible, getting our work completed on time and budget. I highly recommend working with them and will absolutely be reaching out the next time I am conducting work in Europe.
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.
