What is premium recruitment?

A special offering through our multiple panel partnerships that allows our specialized Panel Operations team to manually recruit participants for your unmoderated Maze studies, particularly helpful for reaching niche audiences and demographics.

By participating in premium recruitment, you have the ability to

  • Connect with over 4 million vetted participants from both B2B and B2C markets
  • Engage with high-quality participants who are familiar with qualitative research resulting in richer, more thoughtful responses for your studies
  • Define your perfect audience with advanced targeting options and specialized requirements to find exactly who you're looking for

How do I participate in the program?

Please note, premium recruitment is an Enterprise specific feature.

Once you’ve created an unmoderated study, you’ll have the ability to complete a manual recruitment form from within Maze using the Start premium recruitment widget when creating a panel order.

After submitting this form, the Maze Panel Operations will initiate your recruitment within 1 business day; time to recruit varies based on audience.
