Submit a short professional profile: no CV needed. Job title, industry, seniority, LinkedIn URL, and country. Our team reviews every application individually within one business day.
IRG doesn’t pull names from a database. We identify and approach professionals whose background genuinely matches what a study needs. Participate on your schedule. Get paid reliably. Stay in control of every invitation.
Most panel companies sign up thousands of people, blast invitations, and pay whoever qualifies first. IRG works differently. We recruit each participant individually for each study: which means when you receive an invitation, it is because your specific background is genuinely relevant.
You are a verified expert reviewed by a human team member before being confirmed for any study.
You will only be contacted for studies that genuinely match your seniority, industry, and background.
Full study details, including incentive, topic, duration, and format, are shared before you commit. You can decline any invitation without consequence.

When a study specifically requires someone with your profile, we’ll contact you with full details: topic, format, duration, incentive, and scheduling, before you commit. You are never obligated to accept.
Join your session at the agreed time. Payment processed within 2 to 4 weeks via PayPal or bank transfer. We notify you when payment is on its way.

“Participated in a survey focused on how finance teams are handling software consolidation. Took about 20 minutes and the questions actually reflected what we deal with day to day. It wasn't just generic filler. Got paid on time. Pretty seamless from start to finish.”
“Had an IDI with one of their clients a few weeks back. My contact from Inventive was upfront about what to expect and how long it would take, which I appreciated. The session itself ran about 50 minutes and the conversation was genuinely engaging, not just box ticking. Good experience overall.”
“Not my first time doing one of these but it was refreshingly well organized. The survey was specific to my field, HR tech, and didn't feel like a copied template. Short, to the point, and I received my honorarium without any hassle. Would participate again.”
“I was a bit hesitant at first since I'd had mixed experiences with research panels before. But this was different. The coordinator explained everything clearly upfront, the IDI was well run, and they paid exactly when they said they would. No surprises, which is honestly all you can ask for.”
“The in depth interview covered how our organization approaches third party risk. The moderator clearly had done the preparation and asked sharp follow up questions rather than just sticking to a list. About an hour total. Payment processed within a couple of weeks. Overall a solid experience.”
“Did a short survey on ERP adoption, maybe 18 minutes. Relevant to my work so it didn't feel like a chore. The whole process from the initial outreach to receiving payment was handled cleanly. My coordinator was quick to respond whenever I had a question.”
“The IDI was about decision making in our procurement department. It was a pretty niche topic but that is exactly why it felt worth my time. The researcher asked thoughtful questions and genuinely listened rather than just moving down a checklist. Comfortable, professional, and well managed.”
“I completed a survey on digital marketing analytics tools. Straightforward questions, well written, nothing confusing or repetitive. Took under 20 minutes. The outreach from Inventive was professional and not pushy at all. They explained what was involved and left the decision to me.”
“Did an IDI covering how our team handles data privacy compliance after GDPR. Solid conversation. The moderator knew enough about the space to keep the discussion meaningful. Ran about 55 minutes. Inventive kept me in the loop throughout and the payment side was handled without any back and forth.”
“Honestly the easiest research participation I've done. Survey was relevant, short, and well put together. The team at Inventive was professional in every interaction. Quick responses, clear instructions, and no chasing required on my end. Will keep an eye out for future studies through them.”

IRG is a custom recruitment firm, not a panel database. We identify and approach each participant individually for each study; you are not being pulled from a list. This means invitations are always relevant to your specific background, and studies attract higher-calibre participants.
Only when a study matches your profile. In active industries, members typically receive one to three invitations per month. You control how often you participate and can decline any invitation without consequence.

Most studies are 45-90 minute video interviews via Zoom or Teams. Full briefing, topic, duration, incentive, is always shared before you commit to participation.
Yes, at any point. Email info@inventiveresearchgroup.com and your data will be deleted within five business days. Any pending incentive payments for completed studies will still be processed in full.
