Verified participants for focus groups, interviews, mock trials, surveys, and more, recruited from a proprietary panel of 1.6 million members nationwide.
L&E Research recruits participants for qualitative and quantitative studies across healthcare, consumer, legal, and biotech industries. Every engagement is managed by a dedicated project manager who oversees screening, scheduling, confirmation, and show-rate management from first contact through session completion. We recruit for focus groups, in-depth interviews, mock trials, jury simulations, ethnographies, diary studies, sensory evaluations, usability sessions, and large-scale quantitative surveys.
Our recruitment starts with a proprietary panel of more than 1.6 million verified participants and extends through targeted outreach, social sourcing, and community partnerships when a study requires audiences beyond the panel’s reach. The result is a recruitment process built around your specific criteria, not a generic sample pulled from a list.
Every L&E recruitment engagement is led by a named project manager who serves as your single point of contact from kickoff through fieldwork. Your PM manages screener deployment, monitors quota progress in real time, handles participant communication, and coordinates replacements or backfills as needed. You receive daily recruitment updates and have direct access to your PM throughout the study.
L&E maintains a proprietary panel of more than 1.6 million participants across the United States, verified through identity validation, geolocation, and activity-based checks. The panel is actively profiled across demographic, behavioral, psychographic, and condition-specific dimensions, which means we can assess feasibility quickly and begin recruitment with confirmed data rather than assumptions.
We recruit for the full range of qualitative and quantitative study types: focus groups, in-depth interviews, online communities, shop-alongs, in-home use tests, ethnographies, sensory evaluations, mock trials, jury deliberations, diary studies, concept tests, and large-scale surveys. The methodology determines the recruitment approach, not the other way around.
When a study calls for participants outside standard demographic profiles (rare medical conditions, niche professional roles, specific behavioral segments, low-incidence consumers), L&E extends recruitment beyond the panel through targeted digital outreach, social sourcing, professional networks, and community partnerships. We set realistic expectations on feasibility and timelines upfront, then execute against them.
Before recruitment begins, we provide an honest assessment of what’s achievable given your criteria, timeline, and budget. Once recruiting is underway, our Client Portal gives you live visibility into recruitment progress, participant profiles, and screening status, so you’re never waiting on an email to know where things stand.
L&E’s recruitment process includes multi-layer participant verification and fraud prevention at every stage: identity validation at enrollment, re-verification at screening, attendance confirmation protocols, and participation frequency limits that prevent over-researched respondents from entering your study. Our processes are certified to ISO 20252 and ISO 27001 standards.
