Sourcing starts at your question, not at a roster
Most networks match you against people already on a list. We work backwards from what you need decided to the companies, titles and years where someone would genuinely know, then go find them.
Market Research Recruitment & Listening | Vantage Research
The right people. The right signal. Delivered fastknows the answer.
Vantage Research covers both, pairing verified experts with real-time market signals to give you a clearer read before you commit resources. We run two connected services, market research recruitment (expert network access) and social listening, so research agencies, brand teams, and strategy leads get both human insight and real-time digital intelligence from one partner, not two vendors on two timelines.

Why Research Agencies, Brands & Strategy Teams Rely On Us Daily
Rigor you can defend in an investment committee.
We work across four kinds of teams: research agencies that need fast, reliable fieldwork; pharma and healthcare brands that need compliant monitoring; consumer and PR teams tracking reputation in real time; and investment teams that need expert opinion on a tight clock. What ties them together is recurring need, not a one-off project. Clients come back because the recruitment is careful and the listening never stops, and because one team handles both without a handoff between vendors, a project brief, or a second onboarding call. We've built our network and our monitoring stack around this repeat-client reality, not around a single campaign. That's why teams stay with us project after project, quarter after quarter.
Compliance sits inside the process
Restricted-list check, written employer confirmation, signed terms. Anyone who cannot be cleared never reaches your calendar, and the screening record travels with the booking.
The work does not stop at the transcript
A transcript is raw material. The same team that sourced the call writes what it changed, what it did not settle, and who needs finding next to close the gap.
Two services, one loop
Conversations feed the research. The research picks the next conversation.
Expert Research
Calls with people who held the role you are asking about, sourced against your question and cleared before you see a name. Then written up as research, not filed as an audio file.
- Named candidates with employer, dates and the part of your question each can speak to
- Screening record delivered with the booking, not on request
- Recording and transcript where the expert and your policy both allow it
- A written synthesis of what moved and what is still open
Social Listening
How a company or a category is actually described by the people around it — buyers, former staff, channel partners, competitors. Run on a repeating cycle so you read a direction, not a snapshot.
- Same sourcing discipline as the calls, pointed at perception instead of mechanics
- Repeat waves against a fixed panel shape, so movement is readable
- Verbatims kept intact alongside the summary
- Feeds straight back into who Expert Research sources next
Process
Four steps between your question and the call.

01 Scatter
Client work
What an engagement looks like.
The person on the other side of the table
A pricing question the sell side could not answer. We sourced the people who had negotiated the increase — two former regional sales directors, and a buyer who refused it.
The call that had to clear compliance first
A regulated sector, a restricted list, and a short window. Screening removed most of the shortlist before the client saw it, and the record travelled with the booking.
A direction, not a snapshot
The question was whether sentiment had moved, not where it sat. Repeat waves against a fixed panel shape over a quarter, with the verbatims kept intact beside the read.
The customers who had already left
Renewal rates were falling and the account team had one explanation for it. We put the client in front of the renewals desk, and three buyers who chose not to renew.
A diligence window that would not move
Two weeks to form a view on an asset's permitting risk. Former operators from both sides of the same jurisdiction, booked inside the window, terms signed before the first call.
How the channel talks when the vendor is not there
A question about distributor loyalty no survey was going to answer. Conversations with the people who place the orders, run on a repeating cycle so the direction stayed visible.
