We understand the myriad pain-points that recruitment for qual research can mean to our clients and we are determined to exceed your expectations at every step along the way.

300,000+ consumer panel


To find the right people to match highly segmented specs requires investment in a large consumer panel. And our connections reach out to many more communities as needed.

100's of fresh faces every week


We are consistently attracting 100’s of new respondents to our panel every week to ensure that you see fresh faces at all your focus groups.

Experienced Team



Our team has many years experience working together and we rarely experience any staff turnover.

B2Band List Calling


We have the resources and the experience to recruit for most b2b needs, as well as experienced callers who recruit from lists.

ASSIDUOUSQUALITY CONTROL



We are sticklers for getting it right. We want your respondents to be โ€˜spot onโ€™ each and every time.

Care Factor


We care about getting it right for both the researcher and the respondent. We want to make sure that everybody has a great experience.

Taking part in focus groups, taste tests, interviews and online communities is social, interesting and rewarding!

Managing
Pain Points

  • We pay attention to screening-between-the-lines to give you the best mix of respondents.
  • We will never whinge (openly) about your insanely narrow specs but will tell you honestly what we think is achievable from the outset.
  • We like to maintain a 2-way dialogue with you and like to think we can add some value to the process based on our experience.
  • We understand the value of pre-tasks, but weโ€™re not fans of asking CFOs to complete a collage.
  • We know that youโ€™d like us to recruit 1 in 5 from your customer list, but we will tell you a more realistic strike rate when you brief us.
  • We wonโ€™t keep you in the dark โ€“ but will give you regular updates on how recruitment is going. If we canโ€™t resolve any unforeseen problems we will discuss options openly with you.
  • We know that some of our carefully selected recruits will have an unforeseen medical or mechanical emergency on the night of the group and will always recommend an appropriate over-recruit.

Research Connections are our go-to recruitment partner. From standard consumer focus groups through to trickier specifications or unusual methodologies, nothing is too much trouble for the team. They take the time to understand our requirements and ensure the respondents are well qualified and engaged. As recruitment is such a critical part of the research process, we could not deliver the outcomes we do for our clients without Research Connections guidance, expertise and consistency of service.

Belinda Davidson, Kantar Millward Brown Aus

As always thanks for being so flexible and working through the challenges that were presented, I always appreciate the support and enthusiasm.

Ben Markham, FiftyFive5

Thanks for your efforts on this โ€“ you really do make our lives easier and we love working with you, so thank you again!

Margaux Gin, Hall and Partners

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to you both for turning this round so fast and finding some great participants on a tight timeline, being so responsive etc. Very much appreciated.

Charlie Cochrane, Jump the Fence

Great group, everyone showed up on time and participated well, thanks again for making my job easy. It is always a pleasure to work with you!

Amanda Adams, Choice

Youโ€™ve done particularly well for such a hard recruitment project. Very impressed, Thanks.

Louise Tracy, Outlook Research and Planning

Great recruiting โ€“ we thought these groups might be a challenge as some of the discussions & concepts were a bit abstract but they were all great. Thank you!

Alex Kelsey, The Kinetica Group

Also, just some feedback on the respondents, they were all great! Really involved, articulate and enthusiastic to be there.

Roxy Korman, Galkal

Terri and the team - you have been grace under pressure with such a helpful problem solving approach to get this very challenging recruit over the line. We got excellent respondents who were all really good contributors so thanks so much!

Michelle Wood

The Learning Difficulties group was absolutely brilliant thank you! I donโ€™t think we could have gotten a better, more cohesive and articulate group if we tried. We certainly gained a lot of customer insights through this group and have a lot of ideas to work with.

Rachel Henze, Learning Links

Thanks so much for your support during this project, it's been great working with you. You've responded really well to tight deadlines and changes in requirements, and communication has been top notch.

Jack Bennett, DIJGT.AL

The entire team at Research Connections do a fantastic job on each project we partner with. Nothing is ever an issue, even with tight timelines or specific requests. Galia in particular is a fantastic project lead, and each time we work together, I know I can be confident that our research recruitment will go smoothly.

I recently participated in a market research study through Research Connections and had an excellent experience. The study was focused on alcohol consumption habits, and I was paid $120 for just two hours of my time, which I found to be a great incentive.

From the start, the staff at Research Connections were professional and courteous. They were highly responsive to my queries, whether over the phone or via email, ensuring that I was well-informed about every detail of the study. The instructions were clear, and the process was straightforward, making the entire experience seamless.

What impressed me the most was how organized and efficient everything was. The study itself was well-structured, and I felt that my input was genuinely valued. It’s clear that this organization takes great care in selecting participants from various segments to ensure diverse and accurate market research results.

Overall, I highly recommend Research Connections to anyone interested in participating in market research. Not only do they offer generous compensation, but their professionalism and dedication to the research process make it a pleasure to be involved. A 5-star experience all around!

Co-ordinator Cat kept a tight rein on speakers, one of whom owns property in Cairns and I do not think that he was happy when I asserted that Cairns will inevitably be hit by a tropical cyclone.

I recently participated in a Great Research Connections focus group session, and it was an exemplary experience from start to finish. The session was meticulously organised, with clear communication beforehand regarding the agenda, objectives, and expectations. The organiser ensured that participants were well-prepared, which set the stage for a productive discussion.

Upon arrival, the facilitators fostered an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for all attendees to engage. The session kicked off with a brief introduction, where the purpose and goals were reiterated, ensuring everyone was aligned. This was followed by a series of thoughtfully crafted questions and prompts designed to elicit detailed feedback and innovative ideas.

One of the standout aspects of the session was the skill of the moderator. They adeptly guided the conversation, balancing the need to stay on topic with the flexibility to explore interesting tangents. Their ability to listen actively and ask probing follow-up questions ensured that the discussion was both deep and wide-ranging.

The diversity of the group also significantly contributed to the richness of the conversation. Participants came from varied backgrounds and brought different perspectives, which enriched the dialogue and led to a well-rounded collection of insights. The facilitator was adept at ensuring all voices were heard, promoting an equitable environment where quieter members felt comfortable sharing their views.

Another highlight was the use of real-time collaboration tools. These tools allowed for dynamic interaction and brainstorming, with participants able to contribute ideas and comments in a structured yet flexible manner. This not only kept the session engaging but also ensured that no good idea was lost.

The session concluded with a clear summary of the key points discussed and the next steps. This recap was invaluable as it reinforced the productive nature of the discussion and outlined how the insights gathered would be utilised.

Overall, the Great Research Connections focus group session was a masterclass in effective facilitation and participant engagement. It succeeded in gathering valuable insights in a manner that was both enjoyable and professionally rewarding. I would highly recommend these sessions to anyone looking to contribute to meaningful research and development initiatives.

Focus group was very informative. I was a little out of my depth with political information but enjoyed how the session ran and feel all feedback from recipients was well received.

Market Research with Research Connections I always find interesting and knowing I am helping a business make the right decisions based on my opinions, you feel like your part of the team. I also call a spade a spade, If I dont like the idea I will let them know, I am not there to pander to a marketing giant otherwise they may end up like Scotty from Marketing and believe anything !

Research Connections offer market research opportunites in a variety of forms and for different companies. The recent one I was chosen to attend was actually held via the web in the comfort of my home and the participants were from all over Australia. The process to apply is easy and payments are processed quite quickly. The only downfall is that there is a limit to how often you can part take in focus groups if you qualify. Approximately once every six months or so. Communication between all parties is wonderful and the process is seamless.

I did a panel discussion for Research Connections on Thursday February 15th.
I would like to say that it was a completely enjoyable experience, as I was able to get the opportunity to express my opinions and also get the opinions of the other participants in the group. If you haven’t signed up to Research Connections, then you don’t know what you are missing out on. The Research Connections sessions are fun, informative and interesting. And the best part is , that there is no right or wrong answers ; it is YOUR opinion that matters.
If you would like to earn a little bit of extra cash , then go to the Research Connections website and register. I look forward to my next Research Connections discussion session.

Dodgy website ever! They sent me an email and asked to finish a survey so I could join a group discussions which I can get an incentive payment for rewards but it was not happening at all after I had done the survey. Wasted my time for this stupidity! Do not believe this company!

I am happy to be a participant in the studies conducted by Research Connections. I have been living in Australia not long enough and my English is a barrier for the research. I hope I will have more experience to share and contribute to the research

I have always felt valued as a participant in the studies conducted by Research Connections. As I am opinionated and forthright, I often offer alternative viewpoints that hope to broaden perception and significantly contribute to the research. I find the integrity and professionalism of the entire team, at Research Connections, to be of a high standard. Whilst the topics continue to be relevant and current that focus on a commitment to the importance of research groups.

I was doubting the legitimacy of this company BUT after I attended the first research session in city, I found they are doing something good. ๐Ÿ˜€ We were able to discuss most interest things about the early-stage development of a new financial product. 2-hours past quickly with others. Light food and drinks are provided which is really sweet. Got the payment right after the session. I would like to go another day again ๐Ÿ™‚

At first I was not certain or confident this was a legitimate company and spent some time researching their background and reading comments from others who had participated in research interviews. All the comments I read were positive and led me to believe this was an above board company. I have participated in one research interview and found it to be a professional and well organised process. The interviewer was skilled at making me feel comfortable and ensuring the process allowed me time to think about my answers, rather than feeling rushed. The payment for the interview was made very promptly. I would be happy to participate again in the future.

The focus groups can be really interesting and even educational as they can be on a range of things that will naturally be relevant to you. Ones I’ve been to are always well run and of course it’s a good little income earner as well. Good to take part in and probably quite valuable to provide feedback on goods and services you use.

Had a great experience with Research Connections. Called me at the exact time they had specified. I completed the 45min interview which was no worries at all. Questions were based around my own experiences. Then the $100 was in my account the next day. Would happily do more research interviews for this company.

I’ve completed a variety of research projects (interviews, online surveys, groups discussions) for this company over many years. Maybe one or two each year. Have to say they are always professional and a pleasure to deal with. I’ve enjoyed the topics that have been discussed and always come away learning something new. Plus you get paid for your opinions etc. Happy to recommend them.

Genuine research on a wide & very interesting range of topics. All thoughts are encouraged with very active participation from everyone in attendance, who are from a wide distribution of participants. Thoroughly enjoyable & an added benefit is the tax free renumeration. I have been very happy to participate in 3 surveys in the last couple of years & unfortunately I have been declined once as I didnโ€™t fit the selection criteria for the particular survey. I would recommend participation & registration to all; and you meet some amazing people with varying opinions.

The survey was legitimate and seemed to be for a political party locally. We were the last session so there were time constraints which could have been better managed and if they had been would have allowed for better quality answers via more discussion time. I felt better value would have been obtained by having participants document their feeling rather than having discussion manipulated or truncated by the presenter. I think there would have been more value to the client by having a less time pushed arrangement. Whilst I am not a supporter of the obvious client I respect that they have paid to have a valuable outcome for their money.

It is focus groups for big corps trying to understand consumer thinking. There’s no selling or anything like that. All they want is your honest thoughts. The research i did was interesting, well run and well remunerated. I had to admire the facilitator who got through a lot of issues and questions at a cracking pace without cutting people off. It was interesting to hear the views of the other people in the group.

Iโ€™ve been with research connections for several years now and have not encountered any issues with the research they assign me to. Furthermore, payments are always handled promptly and their communication is prompt and courteous.

I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in signing up!

I attended few research topics in the past year with research connections. Interesting discussion sessions. They carefully select the eligible candidates for particular topics so you do need to fill a short survey. Sometimes you would get message straight away showing you are not eligible this time, sometimes it shows they might contact you later, which is normal. I registered my interest and always answer the short survey and get selected to participate the discussion on average every 3-6 months. They would provide soft drinks and light refreshment during the session, and cash reward vary from the topics.
