"Before SageDoer, our senior UX researchers were wasting 15+ hours a week emailing participants back and forth, dealing with cancellations, and sending Amazon gift cards manually. Our SageDoer VA took over the entire pipeline—our show-up rate jumped to 95%."
"We were paying $120 per participant fee on recruitment platforms. By hiring a SageDoer VA at $6/hour, we recruited directly from our customer base via Typeform screener logic and distributed rewards via Tremendous. Saved over $4,000 on our last enterprise study alone."

Frequently Asked Questions About User Interview Coordination
Clear answers about screener logic, participant incentive management, calendar routing, and data security.
We apply rigorous screening hygiene. Our assistants build "trap" and open-ended qualifying questions into your screeners to identify copy-pasted or AI-generated responses. For B2B studies, we mandate work email verification and cross-check applicant LinkedIn profiles against target company sizes and job titles before confirming any calendar appointment.
We recommend using enterprise payout platforms such as Tremendous or Giftbit, where you retain direct ownership of your account and funds. You provide your assistant restricted "member" permissions to issue digital payouts (Amazon, prepaid Visa, or local charity donations) immediately after a session is marked attended. Your assistant logs every transaction, recipient email, and remaining balance into a shared spreadsheet for finance reconciliation.
High attendance requires active multi-touch communication. Your assistant sends a personal confirmation email immediately after booking, a 48-hour calendar reminder requiring a reply to confirm, a 24-hour SMS or email reminder, and a final 2-hour check-in with the Zoom link and tech instructions. If a participant requests a reschedule, your assistant immediately backfills the open slot with pre-qualified standby candidates.
Yes. Following each completed call, your assistant can download cloud video recordings from Zoom or Google Meet, import them into Dovetail or Lookback, review and clean automated transcripts for technical jargon, create participant card metadata (demographics, persona tags, use case), and attach signed NDA PDFs directly to the participant file.
Your dedicated Project Manager oversees study velocity and quality control. They verify that participant screening criteria align with your research brief, audit show-up rates and reminder cadences, monitor working hour logs, ensure incentive budgets reconcile accurately, and act as your single escalation point for sprint scheduling pivots.
