How to Become a Recruiter for Focus Groups
Focus groups are put together by marketing firms to give the producer of a product an idea of how their product is perceived. In order to get an accurate idea of the quality of the product, the focus group must be made up of a variety of people from varying backgrounds and experiences. The focus group recruiter is the person the marketing firm trusts with finding the right people for the topic.
