Respondent Integration

What's new:
Respondent is now an integrated recruiting option alongside other self-serve panels in Outset
Access 4 million participants across 150+ countries, with targeting across 133K+ job titles and 290K+ skills
Recruit from Respondent directly from the Recruit tab of any Outset study
Recruitment, AI-moderated interviews, and synthesis happen in one workflow
Why it matters:
The hardest part of research isn't the interviews — it's finding the right people. Most panels cover consumer and general professional audiences well, but fall short when your study needs B2B decision-makers, niche verticals, or senior professionals who don't show up on general consumer panels.
Respondent is built for that targeting depth. With 133K+ job titles and 290K+ skills tagged across their panel, you can reach the specific professional profiles your study needs — procurement leads, C-suite at mid-market companies, practitioners in niche medical or technical fields.
Adding Respondent means Outset now supports a wider range of recruiting needs in self-serve. Combined with concierge sourcing for the audiences no panel can reach, there's no research project out of scope because of participant availability.
Used for:
B2B decision-maker research (executives, procurement, finance, and operations leads)
Concept testing and positioning work with specific buyer personas
Studies requiring niche professional roles or industry-specific participants
Consumer and general professional audiences -- Respondent covers both B2B and B2C
How to use it:
Open or create a study in Outset
Go to the Recruit tab and select Respondent as your recruitment source
Set your targeting criteria -- Respondent's audience builder handles filtering by job title, industry, seniority, and more
Launch. The AI moderates every interview and delivers synthesis the same day.
