Respondent Integration: Recruit Participants for User Interviews in Useberry
•
4 min read
Useberry’s participant pool now integrates with Respondent, helping teams recruit quality B2B and B2C participants for moderated user interviews directly inside Useberry.
At Useberry, we believe great research should feel connected from start to finish.
That means teams should be able to plan a study, recruit participants, schedule sessions, run interviews, capture recordings, and turn conversations into findings without stitching the process together across too many disconnected tools.
That is why I’m excited to introduce our Respondent integration for Useberry Interviews.
With this integration, Useberry’s Participant Pool now connects with Respondent, helping teams recruit trusted B2B and B2C participants for moderated user interviews directly inside Useberry.
It brings participant recruitment closer to the place where interviews, recordings, transcripts, highlights, and insights already happen.
Why we partnered with Respondent
We chose Respondent because participant recruitment is not just about finding more people. It is about finding people researchers can trust for the study they are running.
Respondent brings one of the world’s largest research participant networks into Useberry’s interview workflow, with 4M+ phone-verified participants and 70K+ new participants joining each month. The network supports both B2B and B2C recruitment across more than 150 countries.
For teams running moderated research, that combination matters: scale, reach, and quality signals in one recruitment source.
It means researchers can recruit consumer audiences, professional participants, niche profiles, regional segments, and B2B roles with more confidence.
Built for B2B and B2C research
Different research questions need different participants.
A product discovery study might need consumers who experience a specific problem.
A B2B research project might need people with certain job titles, company sizes, industries, or responsibilities.
A messaging study might need buyers from a target market.
A market research project might need participants from a particular region or segment.
Respondent supports both consumer and professional recruitment. For B2B research, Respondent offers access to 155K+ job titles and 270K+ skills, helping teams reach professional participants with more specific criteria. For B2C research, its network includes millions of participants across global markets.
This makes the integration useful for:
B2B user interviews
Buyer research
Product discovery
Customer research
Concept validation
Moderated usability testing
Messaging and positioning research
Market research
Niche audience studies
For teams doing moderated research, this flexibility matters. Different questions need different voices, and recruitment should make it easier to reach them.
Quality signals that support better recruitment
Participant quality is not only about audience size. It is also about confidence.
Teams need to know that the people joining their studies are real, relevant, and aligned with the criteria of the research.
Respondent brings confidence-focused recruitment into Useberry’s interview workflow, including participant verification, fraud-prevention measures, participant ratings, and other signals designed to support better research recruitment.
For researchers, this helps reduce some of the uncertainty that often comes with sourcing participants for live studies.
It also gives teams a stronger foundation for moderated interviews, where every session requires time, preparation, and attention from both the researcher and the participant.
A transparent review flow for moderated research
Participant recruitment also needs a clear review process.
With Useberry’s participant pool connected to Respondent, teams can review participants in context, message them when needed, and manage what happens next from the study dashboard.
Researchers can accept participants, mark sessions as complete, and pay participants after the session.
This gives teams:
More control over which sessions stay in the study
Human connection through participant messaging in context
Streamlined workflows with clear status updates in the dashboard
Fairness and transparency because participants can see actions and updates that affect them
For moderated research, this is especially important. The process should feel clear for the researcher, but also respectful for the participant on the other side.
Faster recruiting for live studies
Moderated research can lose momentum when recruitment takes too long.
A team may have the study ready, the interview guide prepared, and the research goals aligned, but still be waiting for qualified participants to book.
Respondent is built to help teams recruit faster, with 15 minutes to the first qualified participant. For Useberry teams, that speed matters because it helps move research from planning to live conversations with less delay.
With Useberry’s participant pool connected to Respondent, teams can recruit participants, use screeners, schedule sessions, and continue into moderated interviews without separating recruitment from the rest of the research workflow.
Part of a more connected research workflow
This integration is part of a larger direction for Useberry.
We want teams to spend less time stitching together research operations and more time learning from people.
That means helping teams move through the research journey with fewer disconnected steps:
Recruit participants
Qualify them with screeners
Schedule live sessions
Run moderated interviews
Capture recordings and transcripts
Create tags, highlights, and reels
Share insights with the team
Useberry already helps teams run user interviews and keep interview findings connected. By integrating our participant pool with Respondent, we are making it easier to bring trusted recruitment into that same flow.

Looking ahead
For us, this partnership is about making moderated research easier to run from the very first step.
Recruitment should not feel separate from the research experience. It should support it.
By connecting Useberry’s participant pool with Respondent, teams can recruit quality participants, bring them into live user interviews, and keep the rest of their research workflow connected inside Useberry.
