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:

  1. Open or create a study in Outset

  2. Go to the Recruit tab and select Respondent as your recruitment source

  3. Set your targeting criteria -- Respondent's audience builder handles filtering by job title, industry, seniority, and more

  4. Launch. The AI moderates every interview and delivers synthesis the same day.
