RECRUITMENT QUALITY
How modern verification processes ensure that only genuine target participants enter the sample.

In market research, quality is often determined behind the scenes – namely at the point where it is verified who is truly behind the stated information.
Because profiles that appear suitable on paper are not automatically real target participants.
Reliable research starts exactly here: with the systematic verification of all relevant information – before a participant is even included in the sample.
1. More Than Screening: A Thorough Verification Process
Screening alone is not sufficient.
That is why our recruiters review each profile in multiple stages and with a structured approach:
- Does the stated profession align with typical responsibilities or industry terminology?
- Are vehicle model, purchase timing, and usage plausible?
- Does the described product experience match the actual market offering?
Where panels rely on self-reported data, Krämer goes one step further: we actively validate before we recruit.
2. Identity Builds Trust
Participants who know that their information is being verified behave more consciously and honestly.
Therefore, where necessary, we verify identity, contact details, and uniqueness of the individual – fully GDPR-compliant and with the highest standards of data security.
This helps us avoid duplicate registrations, non-existent participants, and unclear or inconsistent information.
The result: a sample that delivers on its promise.
3. Technology Meets Experience
Today, verification is the result of combining digital intelligence with human expertise.
Automated plausibility checks and data matching provide indicators – but the final assessment is made by experienced recruiters who identify inconsistencies, ask follow-up questions, and evaluate responses.
This combination of technology and experience ensures that no unsuitable profile slips through – and no suitable one is overlooked.
4. Quality You Can Measure
The impact is reflected in the results: lower screening dropout rates, stable samples, and reliable insights.
Our clients know: anyone who participates through Krämer has been verified – not just invited.
