Multi-participant research
Compose the room for the research.
Relevane recruits professional participants for online and in-person focus groups, advisory boards, dyads, triads, workshops, and research communities.
What it is
Recruit the room as a research instrument, not a list of separate seats.
Professional group recruitment assembles several qualified participants for a shared research session. The work requires attention to both individual fit and the balance, availability, and dynamics of the group.
The room in context
Composition changes the conversation.
A useful group brings the required perspectives into one setting without letting the easiest-to-recruit role dominate. Facilitation starts with a room whose differences are intentional.
Participant composition
See the individual criteria and the room-level balance together.
The board keeps the required perspectives, flexible seats, shared timing, and backup expectations visible in one feasibility view.

Complementary view
Prioritized after the three decision-critical perspectives are feasible.
- Balance
- No one perspective silently fills the room.
- Availability
- Shared session windows are checked alongside fit.
- Backup
- Status and replacement expectations stay explicit.
Preparation timeline
Protect the composition through fieldwork.
Sequence matters: the room cannot be confirmed before fit, selection, schedule, and expectations are aligned.
- Plan
Design the composition
Separate individual must-haves from the role, perspective, or experience mix the complete room needs.
- Source
Recruit against the whole room
Track fit and availability together so one easier segment does not quietly displace a required perspective.
- Review
Resolve fit and conflicts
Review study-specific evidence, conflicts, scheduling constraints, and selection before confirming participation.
- Ready
Prepare the session
Confirm timing, format, access, expectations, reminders, and the approved backup approach with each participant.
- Live
Support fieldwork
Keep one accountable contact for attendance questions and agreed changes while the session is active.
Attendance and backup ledger
Give every status a clear meaning.
Attendance support works best when primary, backup, change, and support expectations are not compressed into one confirmation label.
Attendance and backup responsibilities
- Primary participants
- MeaningConfirmed only after fit, client selection, and session details are clear.
- CommunicationReconfirm attendance and access expectations on the agreed schedule.
- Backup candidates
- MeaningQualified and available does not mean promised a seat.
- CommunicationUse only under the approved replacement plan and communicate status honestly.
- Schedule changes
- MeaningKeep one current source of timing and access information.
- CommunicationTell affected participants what changed and what happens next.
- Session support
- MeaningProvide an identifiable contact for access or attendance issues.
- CommunicationEscalate changes without inventing guarantees or payment terms.
Groups and workshops
Bring the room composition into the feasibility discussion.
Share the required perspectives, format, markets, session windows, technology or location needs, and the decisions the group must support.
