This step is done once at least one method is set up: a participant added to the email list, the public link copied or turned on with Recruit with the public link, or an on-site campaign created. The Status column of the step shows which methods are set up. It is still up to you to send the invitations or share the link once the study is open.

The Recruitment tab#

The three method cards at the top of the tab switch between methods. Each card shows its own count: participants and invitations for the email list, completed interviews for the public link and for the site.

How many interviews per profile#

At the bottom of the Recruitment tab, How many interviews per profile shows, for each profile, the completed interviews against the target. A profile is the Profile you give each participant, such as Loyal customer or Abandoned cart. The target is 6 per profile until you set quotas.
