What we learned through our own research on how you can recruit more effectively

Over the last year, we’ve been researching how to help you better recruit participants for your research studies. In an unpaid survey listed on the Honeybee marketplace, we received 120 responses from Honeybee participants to learn what incentivizes participants to join studies and what factors they considered before making that important decision to participate. We looked for trends by segmenting our data by demographics and observed how it relates to the different types of research fields.
