Virginia Rails to Trails. Rural to urban recruiting.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jennifer and the Star City Research team on several projects and have always been impressed by the dedication they show to the work and their diligence in ensuring my clients' needs are always met. I most appreciate their candidness and their ability to approach challenging or unusual recruitment projects creatively.

Jennifer Powell was such a pleasure to work with, and I am so happy I found her when I needed a focus group recruit. She asked me many detailed questions to ensure she understood our recruiting needs which resulted in a perfect recruit. Not only this, but she has a great personality to go with her competence and professionalism. I could not recommend her enough and wish all qualitative managers were as friendly. Thanks for all of your hard work!

You and your team are always on top of it, and we also appreciate your honesty. We really value your work. When you use Star City Research, you know you will always get the quality, due diligence and professionalism from the team. Their communication is excellent, always keeping us updated, and we look forward to continued successful and smooth running projects together.

Star City Research did a fantastic job recruiting a hard to reach, younger consumer target audience for us in a very short time frame! All of the Star City team members were highly responsive to our requests and were effective communicators. We received high show rates and Star City was quick to replace or reschedule respondents if they had a scheduling conflict. I especially enjoyed receiving "real-time" respondent profile grids to maintain high quality recruitment and to keep the project on schedule. I would highly recommend Star City Research team.

Jennifer and I have worked on many projects together in the past. They have incredible show rates, great respondents and a solid, professional team. They know what they are doing, and I trust them every time with a project. If Jennifer says they can accomplish the project – they will! You are in good hands.

Star City Research recruited a group for me recently. There were several terminates and a complex screener. We found out a few days before research that the streets in front of the facility (which we procured on our own) were closed from early morning till mid afternoon for a parade. Jennifer and her crew jumped right in, alerting the respondents of the street closure and suggesting they arrive a bit earlier to secure parking. We had almost a 100% show rate. She also provided us with the name of her AV guy, who did a great job and was great to work with. I highly recommend them, they are great people and easy to work with.

We've worked with Jennifer for over 6 years. She and her team have been integral to our work throughout Virginia. We've conducted focus groups with her support all over the state with a variety of audiences – from voters, to low-income Medicaid beneficiaries, to uninsured adults. She and her team are excellent communicators and our participants have always been stellar.

The guys at Star City Research were brilliant from start to finish. The project involved a challenging recruit within a relatively short time frame, with an obscure audience that was particularly hard to reach. They kept us informed throughout with updates and went above and beyond to provide additional information on respondents to ensure they were bang on spec! Jen, Sherry and Nancy were always on hand to help things run smoothly and the in-house facility Roanoke was perfectly suited for running groups in a creative, relaxed environment. Cheers, Sion
