Flagship Research
Russell Duong
We host and recruit projects nationwide. In addition, we have three focus group suites completed in April 2018. We are three doors from a Hilton and six doors from a Sheraton. Our test kitchen is 270 square feet and features commercial refrigeration and a bank of four commercial microwaves. Parking is free and we are still close to the airport. About 50% of our recruiting is related to medical projects. We emphasize quality recruiting. Flagship records each and every recruiting call. A full-time staff member listens to each recording as validation of the recruit; we then archive the recordings so that we can instantly access them. These recordings are available to you at any time, before and after your groups, and you are welcome to share them with your client. This can be very helpful when clients are concerned about the qualifications of a respondent or when a respondent from a client list has complained about the recruiting call.
