What is representative of participants recruitment

On conducting usability test and focus group, selection of participants will become very important component, which have decisive influence on the quality of the evaluation. Control of detailed requirements, such as age, gender or what products they have used before may be necessary. Also, the recruitment itself is very time consuming process, and will take a lot of time.

On behalf of the client, we take this important but time-consuming recruitment work.
