Recruiting

Qualified respondents, reliable respondents, are not all that easy to ensure. At Flagship we have a protocol called Recorded Recruiting, where we record the initial screening call for each respondent.


That call is listened to by a full time staff member who matches the spoken answers with the ones written on the screener. Any discrepancies are brought to the project manager for resolution. Only then is the respondent invited to the group. And, the recordings are archived, so they are readily available should a back room viewer have questions.

Yes, that is expensive. And, it is less expensive than if we had to pay an incentive to an unqualified respondent for whom we could not bill. The protocol saves us money!

Here is how good we think our system is – while many facilities charge by the recruit whether the person shows up or not, we, with rare exceptions, only charge for qualified respondents who fully participate. You will not be charged for no-shows at Flagship!

Like Baskin Robbins, we have lots of flavors of recruiting. Here are some of our favorites, with recent examples!
