Invitations and selection
Who may join, why you may be contacted, how screening works, and how research participation differs from employment.
01Who can join Relevane?+
Professionals with current or former work experience that may be relevant to business research can create a profile. Joining does not guarantee invitations or selection for a study.
02Why might Relevane contact me?+
A researcher may need perspective from someone with your role, industry, product experience, or operating background. A legitimate invitation should explain why the opportunity may be relevant.
03Does screening guarantee that I will participate?+
No. Screening helps determine fit, but the research team may select only some qualified professionals or change the study before fieldwork.
04Is this employment or ongoing consulting work?+
No. Research participation is optional and project-specific. The terms, method, duration, and compensation should be stated for each opportunity.
Participation and compensation
Information boundaries, incentive expectations, and the role profile information is intended to play.
01What information should I never share?+
Do not share confidential, proprietary, restricted, or material non-public information. You are responsible for following obligations to employers, former employers, clients, and other parties.
02How does compensation work?+
The invitation should state the incentive, required activity, conditions, expected payment timing, and a route for questions. Never pay a fee, deposit, or processing charge to participate in research.
03How is my profile used?+
Profile information helps identify potentially relevant research opportunities and supports study-specific screening. Relevane should request only information relevant to the professional relationship or a defined study.
