Research Interviews Project Finder

We are conducting paid research interviews to understand how project-driven firms find, staff, and keep talent internally, and how they decide between hiring externally and moving someone already on the team.

These conversations are part of early-stage product research for an internal talent mobility platform. This is strictly exploratory research. There is no sales pitch, no product commitment, and no implementation required.

We are looking to speak with professionals who:

Are based in Canada
Work in consulting, engineering, IT, or professional services firms
Hold one of these roles:
VP or Director of People, Head of Talent, COO, or a business unit leader with sign-off on HR technology (firms of roughly 100 to 500 employees)
Director of Talent Management, Workforce Planning Lead, or Director of Resourcing and Staffing (organizations of 1,000+ employees across multiple locations)
Resource Manager, Delivery Manager, or Engagement Manager (firms of roughly 100 to 2,000 employees)
Have been involved in a recent staffing, hiring, or internal move decision
Have a say in, or influence over, HR or people technology purchases

During the interview, we’ll explore:

How work and people are assigned in your organization today
How you decide between hiring externally and finding someone internally
Where information about who can do what currently lives
What your organization would need to see before adopting a new people tool, including integrations and security review
How your organization budgets for and approves people software
Your reactions to a potential platform for matching internal talent to roles and projects

Interview Details

Format: 45-minute virtual interview
Preparation: None required
Timing: Flexible (weekdays, 9 to 5 CDT)
Location: Canada only

If this sounds like your background, please apply with a short note about your role, your organization’s size and industry, and whether you have budget or sign-off authority for HR technology.

About the Project

We are developing a travel research and itinerary planning service for families and people who find planning trips stressful or time-consuming.

Our service would research flights, hotels, activities, and transportation, then provide personalized options and an itinerary. Customers would make their own bookings.

Before launching, we want to interview 15 potential customers to understand their travel planning challenges, what help they would value, and whether they would pay for this service.

What You’ll Do

Help define participant criteria and prepare a clear, unbiased interview guide.

Find, screen, and schedule 15 qualified participants.

Conduct 30–45 minute interviews in English through video or phone calls.

Take detailed notes and record interviews only with participants’ permission.

Who We Want to Interview

We want a mix of:

Parents who plan family trips, including families with babies or young children.

People who struggle with researching and comparing travel options.

People who have recently planned a trip or are actively planning one.

We want real experiences and honest feedback. These are research interviews, not sales calls.

Key Research Questions

How did participants plan their most recent trip?

Which parts took the most time or caused the most frustration?

What websites, tools, or services did they use?

Have they paid for travel planning assistance before?

What would make them trust and pay for our service?

What information and support would they expect to receive?

Deliverables

Participant screening questions and interview guide for approval.

A tracker showing recruitment and interview completion.

Fifteen completed interviews with organized notes.

Recordings or transcripts where participants consent.

A concise final report covering common problems, differences between customer groups, evidence of willingness to pay, useful anonymized quotes, and recommendations.

Please clearly distinguish what participants actually said from your interpretation.

Ideal Qualifications

Experience in customer discovery, market research, or user interviews.

Strong English communication and interviewing skills.

Ability to recruit relevant participants independently.

Ability to ask neutral questions and explore answers beyond a script.

Strong organization and clear report writing.

Travel or family consumer research experience is a plus.

Experience with sensitive topics, structured qualitative interviews, and maintaining confidentiality is important.

I’m the founder of Growth Edge, seeking an experienced qualitative researcher to help conduct a small, 30 day product use study for Echo & Odyssey, a guided reflection journal.

The journal includes daily, weekly, and monthly prompts to help users explore emotions, thoughts, and recurring patterns. We want to understand how people use it in everyday life and identify specific improvements for the next edition.

Project scope:

We anticipate an initial cohort of five participants. Participants will use the physical journal at home for 30 days. Recruitment and participant incentives will be handled separately from your consulting fee.

You will help refine the research plan, conduct interviews, monitor participant experiences, and translate findings into clear product recommendations.

Responsibilities:

• Review the journal, existing customer feedback, and research objectives.
• Refine a focused study plan and interview guides.
• Conduct an initial interview with each participant to understand their goals, expectations, and first impressions.
• Conduct a brief midpoint check in to explore actual use, difficulties, and reasons for continuing or skipping the journal.
• Conduct an exit interview after 30 days.
• Recommend a simple, low burden method for capturing usage and feedback between interviews.
• Identify confusing prompts, usability problems, repetition, barriers to consistent use, and valuable features.
• Deliver a concise findings report and prioritized recommendations.

Participants will be writing in the physical journal. Any additional tracking should be brief and purposeful.

Questions the study should answer:

• Do participants understand how to use the journal without additional explanation?
• Which prompts feel useful, confusing, repetitive, or difficult to answer?
• How does the journal fit into their routines?
• What causes participants to skip entries or stop using it?
• How do the daily, weekly, and monthly sections work together?
• Do participants notice patterns or progress? What specific experiences support their impressions?
• What should we keep, change, simplify, remove, or test in the next edition?

This is product research focused on usability, engagement, and perceived value. The study is not designed to establish clinical effectiveness.

Deliverables:

• Final study plan and interview guides.
• Participant coordination and completion tracking.
• Interview recordings and transcripts, with participant consent.
• A concise report covering themes, supporting participant quotes, individual differences, and limitations.
• A prioritized list of recommended changes, distinguishing observed evidence from researcher interpretation.
• A final findings discussion with the founder.

Ideal experience:

• Qualitative user research, customer research, or behavioral research.
• Moderated interviews and longitudinal product use or diary studies.
• Experience with journals, wellness products, consumer products, or behavior change.
• Skilled at asking neutral questions and exploring specific experiences without leading participants.
• Comfortable discussing personal reflection topics while respecting privacy.
• Able to turn a small sample into useful product insights without overstating the findings.

Strong relevant experience matters more than a particular degree.

Working arrangement:

This is a defined freelance project spanning preparation, 30 days of participant use, and final analysis. I will provide the journal, background materials, and research priorities.

I plan to observe interviews with my camera and microphone off. I may privately send you follow up questions for you to incorporate when appropriate. You will lead the interviews.

To apply, please include:

1. A brief example of a similar study you have conducted and your role.
2. Your proposed approach for a five participant, 30 day study.
3. Your recommended interview lengths and estimated total project hours.
4. A fixed project quote with a breakdown for preparation, interviews, coordination, and analysis. Please identify any additional software or transcription costs.
5. Your availability and earliest start date.

Please explain how you would keep this study practical and affordable while producing specific, actionable feedback for the next journal edition.

We are seeking experienced freelance recruiters to source, screen, and schedule qualified respondents for upcoming market research interviews. The target demographic spans multiple East Asian markets, specifically Japan, South Korea, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Key Responsibilities
Sourcing: Identify and reach out to potential respondents in the target regions based on specific screening criteria (B2B or B2C, depending on the project).
Screening: Conduct preliminary vetting to ensure candidates meet all demographic and behavioral requirements.
Scheduling: Coordinate interview times between the respondents and our research team across different time zones.
Communication: Manage all localized communication with respondents, including distributing incentives/compensation upon interview completion.

If you possess other relevant skills beyond recruitment—such as interview moderation, translation, or local market insights—please add them in your proposal. We highly welcome multi-skilled freelancers.

I need a native-level Amharic speaker to conduct and record a series of interviews that will feed directly into a broader market-research study targeting the general public. Your role will involve sourcing suitable participants, running the conversations in clear, everyday Amharic, and supplying clean audio files accompanied by concise English summaries or full transcriptions.

I will provide a discussion guide outlining the key themes and prompts; you are free to adapt the wording so the exchange flows naturally while still covering every point. Recordings must be in WAV or high-quality MP3 and delivered via a shared drive link. Summaries should highlight notable quotes, recurring opinions, and any surprising insights so I can move straight into analysis.

Please let me know how many 20-minute interviews you can realistically complete within one week and outline the tools you normally use for recording and transcription. Experience in qualitative market research, recruiting respondents, and maintaining confidentiality agreements is essential; familiarity with Otter, Descript, or similar transcription software is a plus but not mandatory.

I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit and will happily clarify anything you need before we begin.
