Every study you launch runs on two systems at once that pulls the people who genuinely fit out of millions of profiles.
Quality engine
Every participant is matched, screened, and verified.
Matching
Matching trained on ten years of real studies
. Each study makes four passes, trading off fit, fill speed, and the long-term health of the panel.- Hard requirements first. Requirements like age, location, and role quietly remove anyone who can’t qualify before they ever reach your screener.
- Ranked by likelihood to qualify. Trained on millions of past screeners, the model ranks each person by how genuinely likely they are to pass yours.
- Proven participants prioritized. Reliable, well-rated members rise to the top - especially on sensitive or hard-to-fill studies.
- Live tracking of fill rate and quality. We reach people through targeted alerts and live listings, tracking fill rate and quality as responses come in.
Fraud
Fraud defenses that evolve as fast as fraud does
. Four independent checkpoints catch bad actors at different depths - long before anything reaches your results.- At sign-up. New members are weighed against 50+ signals on day one, from identity and device fingerprints to work-email verification.
- Around each study. Briefs with broad criteria or quick screeners are flagged as higher-risk and steered toward established participants.
- At your review. You see ratings and activity history, video screening, verification badges, and flags for copy-paste or AI-written answers.
- With a real coordinator. On managed recruits, a person investigates anything suspicious, swaps out bad fits, and refunds you - no chasing required.

FAQs.
What is a research panel?
A research panel is a pool of people who've opted in to take part in research - interviews, usability tests, surveys, and more. What makes a panel useful is who's actually in it and how well it's profiled: a verified pool can be narrowed to specific demographics, behaviors, or professional backgrounds, even for highly niche studies. Respondent's panel is 4.3M+ identity-verified people across 150+ countries, built and owned over a decade rather than aggregated from brokers.
What is a consumer research panel?
A consumer research panel is a pool of everyday people who've opted in to take part in research as consumers. Teams use it to find best-fit participants by demographics, behaviors, buying habits, technology use, and custom criteria - so they can test and tailor products for the people who actually buy them. On Respondent, all 4.3M participants are reachable as verified consumers.
What is an AI training and evaluation panel?
An AI training and evaluation panel is a pool of verified participants - including domain experts - who provide the human input models learn from and are measured against: preference and ranking data, expert evaluation, red-teaming, and human feedback. The quality ceiling is the expertise of the people involved, which is why verified, credentialed participants matter more than raw headcount. Respondent supplies verified domain experts to AI teams as an independent, vendor-neutral source - not a lab-owned one.
What is a B2B research panel?
A B2B research panel is a pool of working professionals who've opted in to take part in research based on their role and job-related attributes. Teams selling B2B products target by job title, seniority, skills and software used, company size, and industry - reaching the people who do the work and make the calls. Respondent verifies 3.1M professionals this way, including senior and hard-to-reach roles.
What is a subject-matter expert panel?
A subject-matter expert panel is a pool of credentialed specialists - physicians, attorneys, engineers, data scientists, and the like - vetted for genuine, verifiable expertise rather than self-reported interest. Teams use it when a study needs domain depth a general panel can't provide. Respondent's panel includes 450K credentialed experts, each verified for the depth their field demands.
What is an accessibility research panel?
An accessibility research panel is a pool of people who've opted in to take part in research relating to a disability or accessibility need. Accessibility testing helps teams build inclusive products that work for a diverse customer base - Respondent's panel spans visual, auditory, mobility, and cognitive needs.
4.3M+ participants across 150+ countries, recruited directly over a decade. Never resold traffic.
