Screener survey mistakes (and how to fix them)

Recruiting the right participants can make or break your research.

And yet, most researchers don’t realize how a few small missteps in a screener survey or recruitment plan can lead to unreliable feedback, wasted time, and bad product decisions.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the surprisingly high impact of participant recruitment – especially when it comes to screener surveys. You’ll learn how small tweaks in language, logic, and targeting can completely change who you talk to (and how valuable their feedback is).

We’ll walk through real examples, fix common mistakes, and show you how to avoid wasted time and endless back-and-forth by tightening up your recruitment process from the start.
