There is an increasing demand by qualitative research professionals for complex and diverse respondents. Our ability to meet the challenge is based on an exceptionally trained and driven team of project managers and recruiters. Ownership and accountability are the foundations of how we approach each client and projects. We get it! You’re not interested in excuses, you demand results.
We are committed to finding high quality respondents and routinely utilize grassroots recruiting methods that allow us to hone in and match specific respondents’ profiles.
Regardless of the simplicity or complexity of a project, we believe in transparency - an open and honest discussion of each project and sharing our knowledge, ideas and potential obstacles to achieving reliable insights. A 500K+ core database and our ability to identify, recruit and maintain a strong connection with our respondents has benefited from fifty (50) years of qualitative research experience. As a matter of fact, Josh (our CEO) developed the database platform which provides powerful search capabilities and an easy way to communicate with our respondents.

With Resources & Technologies To Back This Claim
We can focus on a local market, multiple markets or nationwide. Primary market sectors we cover are:
Consumers - We use creative sources and methods to recruit and identify quality respondents from our extensive database (500,000+) to social media platforms, grassroots phone calls and vetted third-party lists.
B2B - This is arguably the most challenging segment of respondents. Our outreach processes, extensive database, and, most importantly, our relationships with our respondents allow us to engage this busy segment of respondents.
Healthcare Professionals Our comprehensive database and our network of strategic partners offer qualified respondents in a sought-after industry. We recruit physicians, general practitioners, surgeons, nurses and others in the medical field.
Patients Recruiting in this segment requires an up-to-date database and trusted relationships with healthcare organizations affiliated with specific medical conditions/diseases. Our team excels and consistently delivers qualified respondents.
Domestic Field Management
While some of our clients manage their own field operations, there are occasions when R+F’s expertise is called into action. Upon request, we provide qualitative field management services typically for digital methods or multi-city projects that allow you to focus on other critical functions of the project. R+F is recognized as an accountable and reliable partner that gets the job done. Example of our field management services include:
Venue selection, procurement,& management
Screener development
Incentive & Fulfillment Processing
For respondents, getting paid on time is of vital importance. Timely payments go beyond satisfying respondents; they reflect positively (or negatively) on the client and play an important role in engaging respondents in the future. R+F has developed an in house process of managing incentive payments -- we manage the communications, expectations, process and fulfillment. Our preferred method of payment is PayPal but our process includes Amazon or digital gift cards.
