Targeted Sourcing & Profile Verification for Research Panels
Reliable research data depends on recruiting qualified, representative participants who match your target specifications. Prolific Research offers respondent recruitment services, helping consultancies and brands locate, screen, and schedule B2B executives, medical professionals, and target consumer demographics globally.
We do not rely on general opt-in lists. Instead, our recruitment team sources participants using direct telephone outreach, professional network sourcing, and registry matching. This approach allows us to find and recruit targets who meet the precise criteria of your research study.
We verify the identity and credentials of every participant. We check candidate professional details, validate corporate domain email addresses, check medical licenses against registers, and perform screening calls when required. This process helps ensure data validity and reduces session no-shows.
Rigorous Screening & Verification Workflows
We use a systematic recruitment process to find, verify, and schedule qualified participants:
| Verification Step | Methodology Action | Quality Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Verification | Checking candidate details against LinkedIn profiles and professional 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 recruitment activities comply with local data privacy regulations, including GDPR and CCPA standards.
