Diary & Longitudinal Study Recruitment

Diary & Longitudinal Study Recruitment

We recruit committed B2B professionals for multi-session diary studies, tracking behaviour and decision-making over time with verified, consistent participants throughout.

Quantitative method
Overview

Research That Depends on People Staying

A longitudinal study is only as good as its retention. Lose a third of the sample by week six and the trend you set out to measure disappears with them. Recruiting for these programmes is therefore less about filling a quota on day one and more about confirming people who will still be contributing on the final entry. IRG screens for commitment as rigorously as for professional criteria, and stays in contact with participants throughout, so the sample you finish with reflects the one you started with.

What we do

How We Recruit Longitudinal Programmes

We screen for commitment alongside seniority and sector, then support participants across the full study period.

01

Screening for Commitment

Participants confirm the full duration, entry cadence, and time per session before they are accepted onto a study.

02

Verified Professional Criteria

Seniority, industry, and decision-making authority are checked by an IRG team member — the same standard as every other IRG brief.

03

Retention Support

We stay in contact across the study period, sending reminders and resolving issues before they become drop-outs.

04

Structured Replacements

Where attrition does occur, replacements are matched to the original screening criteria so the sample composition holds.

05

Incentive Management

Multi-session incentives are agreed up front and paid on completion, in 90+ markets via PayPal or bank transfer.
