About Honest Recruiting Service
Honest Recruiting Service is a family-owned recruiting company in Southern California that sources participants for market research projects. Run by a husband-and-wife team, it works on behalf of research firms and focus group facilities, finding people who fit each study's requirements and managing the recruit from screening to show-up. Its work covers consumer, business, medical, political and social issue topics.
Honest Recruiting Service Locations
The company does not operate its own focus group facility. The company is based in the San Diego area and recruits nationwide from its participant database, filling studies on the West Coast, the East Coast and in between. Depending on the project, you might attend a session at a client's facility, be interviewed at home or by phone, or take part online from your computer. The entertainment study on our site is open to adults nationwide.

Is Honest Recruiting Service Legit?
This is a small recruiting business with a public website, a participant FAQ and a clear sign-up process, and it describes payment practices openly. Because it recruits for other companies, the session itself may be hosted under a different name, which is normal in this industry. FindPaidFocusGroup.com only lists companies that never charge participants, and we have no affiliation with the company.
