Does Respondent recruit internationally? Are there countries I cannot recruit in?

Although Respondent is a global platform, we specialize in recruiting remote, qualitative interviews from countries with high incidences of English speakers.

Our primary target markets include 21 countries (from a total of 242 targetable countries): Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines,Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This is the same list of countries available to select in the Country selection field, under the Location section during project set-up.

💡 Recruit participants in 242 countries via Respondent. View all countries.

You can now recruit across multiple countries from the above list, within a single project by selecting all the countries you wish to target in the project creation flow > Location section. You can also choose to further target specific cities within countries that you have chosen to target with a project.

A few key things to note:

  • If no countries are included, the project targeting defaults to worldwide

  • Cities can only be added if the country is first included

  • In the above example, Delhi, India is only searchable once India is added as a target country

  • In-person projects can only enter one specific address (no change)


Global Recruiting

You can still recruit globally by selecting Worldwide in the Country drop-down. By selecting Worldwide your research project will be matched with candidates across the world.

So if your team is looking to recruit in a specific country outside of that list, you will need to add a screening question that only qualifies your target country.

For example, if your team was targeting responses from Participants that live in Mexico you would add a question like this:

Participants from other countries can still apply to your project, however, you will see an ❌ in their screener answers in the project dashboard indicating that they were disqualified when answering this screener question.

This is a great opportunity to use Skip Logic in this screener question. Adding skip logic to certain questions lets you create a custom pathway through the screener.

Basically, skip logic makes your questions skip forward based on how the participants answer the current question.



If you want to recruit in multiple countries which are not part of the targetable countries listed at the top of this article, we recommend two methods:

  1. Create a project specific to each Country

  2. Use the Worldwide screener method above and Qualify multiple selections in your screener


It's also important to note that Respondent's participant sign-up page is currently only available in English. So generally, survey responses from any country will skew toward English speakers within that country, and countries with low incidences of English speakers will yield fewer responses.
