Focus People

Focus People have become trusted partners for our qualitative recruitment needs. They have a great, can-do attitude, and are don’t shy away from tricky recruits. The team is attentive and a pleasure to work with.

We’ve been using Focus People over the last year for recruitment and they are now a go to for Essence Communications. They are always responsive and deliver within short timeframes, making our jobs easier. Would highly recommend for qual recruitment jobs.

Hi Sarah, Just a quick note to say well done on recruiting a great first group. The client noted how fantastic the range of respondents were in terms of occupation, ethnicity and where they lived. Thank you so much!!

All the participants attended and they put in a lot of effort. Great candidates.

Great – thanks so much!
And again, great work Vanessa in sourcing high quality people to partake. And helping us get this done quickly.
Please thank all the respondents (if you can), their feedback was excellent, honest and well-considered. They really took it seriously and read the questions properly. It will certainly be heard by the right people and serve to inform how this important campaign comes to life.
We will get the invoice through to accounts straight away

Thank you so much for all your support throughout this time. Really appreciate arranging these groups in a short period of time.

Just want to thank everyone for a fantastic project. The groups went great and the client is very happy!

@Vanessa Ernst – thanks for your hard work and the great and articulate respondents!

All 9 interviewees has been great; very much on spec and really participative. Thanks so much for your hard work in sourcing the candidates and coordination of all the different parts. Truly appreciate it.

Hi Kate, Sarah, Megan,
Just a quick note to thank you very much for all your help on the dishwasher project and particularly with the participants in the online focus groups.
The four groups ran over the weekend and the participants in each were articulate, to specification and were most helpful. I was delighted with their engagement and willingness to talk (with interest and mental involvement) for two hours about dishwashers and dishwashing. Thank you and the recruiters for all your help in getting this project so effectively completed!
We still have to hear from the client what they want done about Holly and her non-attendance – whether a replacement interview or something else, and I’ll you know when I hear from them (probably later today), but all the rest was a dream! Thank you all very much! ?

I also wanted to say thank you for doing a fantastic job recruiting interesting and diverse participants – all gave us a slightly different perspective to what we’ve heard so far so.

Thanks for your fast response with recruitment. We had full attendance and all 5 participants attended. All 5 were to-brief, arrived on time, and were top quality. We achieved what we needed from the research which was a great success.

I have really enjoyed and appreciated working with you. I know this was a difficult project but you really went out of your way to be innovative and patient with the process and to stick with it until we got there.
I look forward to working together again and have already started recommending you.

All went well with both these last night. I had nine in the women’s group and 10 in the males’. They were all on spec and it was a good spread of ages, back grounds and across the electorate.

Yes – all went really well. Everyone turned up and my colleague Laura thought there was a really good spread across participants. So thanks again to you and the team.

Thank you and the team again for all your hard work on this. Last night we had two full groups that all turned up on time and were very chatty. We had clients viewing both groups, and it was really nice for us to be able to deliver everything as intended. Thanks again and hopefully the following groups go as well as the first! Please pass along my and Maddie’s thanks to anyone who is working on this project so far.

Group went really well Sarah. Well recruited.

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know we’ve now finished all 6 interviews – all the respondents turned up on time, and were open, articulate and chatty. So, thanks, all went well on the day ?

A big thank you to you and your team for organising everything on such short notice, especially with the changes. You should know that the reason I choose Focus People for recruitment over other companies is because you’re great at helping with this on short turnaround timeframes, and also because you help write the screener. I’ve been working on several projects simultaneously so it is a bit hard sometimes to make sure details are 100% accurate.

Just a quick note to pass on my thanks to you and the team for the recent online qual project you helped us out on – in more ways than one. Fast turnaround, discounted price, collaborative team and v.good respondents. So all in all a success – really appreciate it

I just wanted to say thanks for your help over these last few years – I’ve always found working with Focus People really efficient, professional and friendly, even when we spring things on you at the last minute!

It went very well, thanks! Full group, really great people – good mix of views and everyone participated. Thanks for your teams work on this, I know it was a very tight one!

We appreciate all of the work that you and the team put into this project. I know it ended up being a bit laborious but we are really thankful for the work that you and the team put into finding replacements and prepping participants as much as possible.

We just wanted to thank you for your efforts in booking and confirming all the respondents for the beer immersions, we had 100% attendance! Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Our groups ran very smoothly yesterday. Thanks so much for ensuring that things ran to plan. Many thanks to you both and to all support staff at Focus People.

As usual the quality of the participants was spot on and turn around in the limited time is praiseworthy. I can’t thank enough for making this activity a success.

Just wanted to confirm that we were really happy with how the recruit on this one came together.

I just wanted to say a big thank-you for your excellent work on the Woolworths Macro store recruitment. The respondents were of the highest quality, very much on spec and super friendly and articulate. We were very impressed with your efforts.

Thanks for working with us on this project, you made the process easy and efficient.

Excellent group. All 8 turned up. Client v happy Great recruitment as always!! Thank you FP A-Team!

The granularity of detail in the screener you sent over for project click was incredibly helpful and gave us a clear understanding of which segments we needed to fill. This detail meant that there was no point of confusion between our team and yours and helped the project run smoothly. Colour coding the segments in project hunger was incredibly useful for such a complex recruit. Your positive attitude and responsiveness is valued and makes working with your team a delight. The whole TBA team is continually impressed with how dedicated you and your team have been and we look forward to many more projects together in the new year.

The participants were so successful and we had so much fun working with them – we hope they enjoyed it as well. It was so lovely working with you and feels great we had such a successful project – my thanks to all the hard work from your team.

Groups went really well. Thank you so much for your support and responsiveness during this first phase of the project. It’s great to have such a good partner on board.

They are perfect for what we need! Fantastic work, as usual.

Feedback from the moderator and clients was VERY good, and highlighted that I could reach out to you to let you know. The group couldn’t have gone better last night. They all showed up, on time, and were very responsive.

Thanks again for your hard work, Daphne, it’s been a great project thanks to yours an Trudy’s handling of this somewhat tricky recruit.
