Effective project management isn't rocket science.

It is simply a case of knowing: What to do, how to do it and when to do it

ALISAN specialises in traditional community-based ‘human recruitment'.  We have a network of recruitment professionals throughout the UK who engage directly with people in their communities

Our recruiters seek out and interact directly with every participant screened for client projects

Other Fieldwork agencies use a ‘Panel recruitment' method. This method involves recruiting from a 'self-selecting' group of participants who have signed-up to an online research panel because of the financial incentives offered. This method of participant selection often fails to find those who are passionate about your category, your brand or your product. This is especially the case when it comes to recruiting from 'Premium' or 'High Net-Worth' groups. Our method ensures that we actively seek out and find your 'Target'
