Maintaining Quality & Engagement in Global Panels
Reliable market research data depends on the quality of your panel audience. Prolific Research provides panel management services, building and managing double opt-in B2B and consumer panels across 140+ countries. We focus on maintaining panel quality, profile completeness, and respondent engagement.
We do not buy general email lists. Instead, our team recruits panels through direct outreach, professional network sourcing, and referral channels. This approach allows us to find and recruit targets who meet the precise criteria of your research study.
We verify the identity of every panel participant. We check candidate professional details, validate corporate domain email addresses, check medical licenses against registers, and perform phone screening calls when required. This process ensures the validity of your B2B dataset and reduces screen-out rates during fieldwork.
Rigorous Panelist Verification & Quality Checkpoints
We use a systematic recruitment process to find, verify, and schedule qualified panel participants:
| Verification Step | Methodology Action | Quality Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Verification | Checking candidate details against LinkedIn profiles and directories. | Confirms job title, company size, and industry alignment. |
| Domain Matching | Validating corporate email domains and filtering out public email providers. | Ensures respondents are active employees of target companies. |
| Credential Audits | Checking medical credentials against registries (such as NPI in the US or GMC in the UK). | Confirms medical licensing, specialty status, and practice details. |
We structure incentives to respect corporate compliance rules, offering options such as professional honorariums, digital gift cards, or donations to verified non-profit organizations. All panel activities comply with local data privacy regulations, including GDPR and CCPA standards.
