Market Research Recruiting Services

Carden Creative Corporation, headed by Gwen Carden, offers specialized recruiting services that go beyond conventional database recruiting. Her journalism background and sophisticated internet research skills combine in a powerful way to enable her to find just the right person for unique or especially challenging project recruitment. Her attention to detail helps ensure a high show rate with cooperative, well-qualified, motivated respondents.

As a “boutique recruiter,” Gwen Carden and her staff specialize in recruiting quality physicians, patients and people in a variety of business and consumer areas who need to be handled with kid gloves.

What sets Gwen Carden apart from others are the elements of her background which compound into a unique recipe for success.

• She has over 25 years' experience as a journalist/medical writer (she knows how to find people and get them to talk to her).
• She has a master’s degree in mental health counseling, so she’s sensitive to moods and personalities at the other end of the phone (and deals with people in whatever manner is suitable).
• She has taught etiquette, so her telephone manners are impeccable (an essential but sometimes overlooked skill for difficult telephone work).
• She’s developed a system of contacts, reminders and re-reminders that result in very high show rates.
• And she’s creative when it comes to finding respondents who might not be part of typical facility databases.

Project Types

Typically recruiting for market research studies is conducted by personnel who work for a market research facility. The best facilities have spent years honing highly sophisticated systems for building, maintaining and accessing databases. Carden Creative does not compete with facilities nor claim to be able to do a better job than they do.

Carden Creative’s services pick up where the facilities leave off. We locate respondents who are not necessarily on conventional databases or help our clients find respondents in multiple locales around the country.

The one thing certain about projects undertaken by Carden Creative Corp. is that the requests are almost always unique and challenging.

Some projects recruited include:

• Attorneys who specialize in incorporating individuals offshore for tax purposes
• Chefs, culinary professors and food inspectors who are knowledgeable about government regulations on food safety
• Decision-makers at major corporations who choose furniture for their offices
• Patients with hepatitis C
• Doctors in several foreign countries who treat a rare form of leukemia
• U.S. Marines who have been deployed to Iraq and who use certain personal care products

Pricing

Each project must be priced individually but per-head price generally ranges from $75 per recruit (for a simple recruit with a complete list of contacts) to $150. Some of the factors that go into the pricing include:

• Whether the client has or does not have a list of potential respondents
• The sensitivity of the topic (it will be more difficult to find people to discuss their sexual practices than their laundry skills)
• The difficulty of reaching potential respondents (recruiting office assistants is easier than recruiting company presidents)
• The time frame
• The size of the available pool of respondents (it’s easier to find elementary school teachers than widowed grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren)
• The incentive being offered to participants
