Qualitative Research Recruiter (Remote, Contract / Project-by-Project)
The Diamond Lists LLC is a boutique qualitative market research recruitment firm based in New York City. We recruit and place participants into in-person NYC studies and nationwide virtual studies for leading research agencies and brands. This is a fully remote role you can do from anywhere.
About the role
We’re looking for a detail-oriented recruiter to screen candidates and place them into focus groups, interviews, and diary studies. Much of this work comes down to good common sense and sound judgment: matching real, qualified people to the exact specifications each client requires. Strong people-reading skills matter here: you’ll be judging fit, catching inconsistencies, and making sure the people you place actually show up and belong in the study.
What you’ll do
- Screen candidates against detailed study criteria
- Read responses and conversations for authenticity and fit (spotting people who don’t match spec or aren’t genuine)
- Schedule and confirm participants
- Keep clean, accurate records for each project
Who you are
- Extremely detail-oriented and organized
- Strong at reading people and social cues
- Comfortable with spreadsheets and everyday tech tools: Excel, Google Sheets, Google Forms, etc
- Clear, professional communicator over email and phone
- Comfortable working independently and hitting deadlines
- Reliable and responsive
Compensation
This is 1099 contract work paid per project, typically $500 to over $1,000 per project depending on how many qualified respondents you place who attend. Pay is performance-based, not a salary.
Schedule and logistics
Virtual, year-round, project-by-project as work comes in. We’re busy, so there’s steady opportunity for the right person. We have an immediate need for someone available in August to help cover a team member on vacation.
How to apply
Email your resume to info@thediamondlists.com. In your email, tell us in a few sentences why you’d be good at spotting whether someone is a genuine fit for a study.
