This guide will walk you through the process of setting up participant recruitment for your AI moderated study. Follow these steps to define your participant requirements, audience demographics and screener questions.
Number of participants
Set the number of participants you want to recruit using the slider or enter a specific number. This represents the maximum number of participants who can complete your study.
Device requirements
Choose from three options to specify which devices participants can use:
Any device: Participants can complete the study on any device
Mobile only: Restricts participants to mobile devices
Desktop only: Restricts participants to desktop computers
Audience
Location
Use the location search field to specify geographic requirements. Enter city, region, or country names. Multiple locations can be added to expand your recruitment area.
Age and gender
Set your desired age range using the slider and select one or more gender options. These demographic filters help ensure your study reaches the right participant group.
Languages
Specify the languages participants must speak and their required fluency level. You can add multiple languages if needed and participants will select which language they are responding in prior to starting the interview.
Supported languages for AI moderated studies: English, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish.

Screener questions
Screener questions help ensure participants meet your specific requirements before they can join the study.
Recruiting participants with highly specific attributes can be challenging. To streamline the process, prioritize key attributes when designing your screening questions. This minimizes over-complication and ensures your target group aligns closely with your study's goals.
Adding screener questions
When creating questions, prioritize one or two primary attributes to efficiently identify participants. Additionally, balance the specificity of the criteria with practical recruitment feasibility to ensure a manageable pool of respondents.
Click "Add screener question" to create a new screener question or “Copy from another study” to select from screener questions you have created previously.
Enter your question text
Select the question type:
Short answer: For free-text responses
Multiple choice (Single select): For questions where participants choose one answer
Multiple choice (Mutli select): For questions where participants can choose several answers
For single and multi select questions, add answers and set the qualifying logic for each one: May select, Must select (multi select only) or Knockout.
Turn on Conditional logic to skip participants to a later question based on their answer.
Settings
Participant selection
Choose how participants are selected for your study:
Manual: Review and select participants yourself
Automated: Participants who meet your criteria and score 100% eligibility are automatically invited
Exclude previous participants
Choose whether to exclude participants who have previously participated in your studies and set the exclusion timeframe.
Primary contact
Select who receives all study communication and updates.
Custom terms & conditions
Upload or select from custom agreements if required. Invited participants must sign to proceed. Askable participants are already bound by the default Terms & Conditions.
Additional participant instructions
Use this field to provide important instructions that participants must complete and acknowledge before starting your study.
How it works
After participants are invited or confirmed to participate in your study, they'll see a screen displaying your instructions when they attempt to start the study. They must check the box to acknowledge they've read and completed the instructions before they can proceed.
Opportunity listing
Give your audience a short, one sentence summary of what kind of people you're looking for. Focus on the most important criteria for you. This is what will attract the right participants to apply for your study.
Submitting your study
After setting up your recruitment criteria, review all settings to ensure they align with your study requirements.
Remember: You cannot modify recruitment settings after participants begin joining your study, so ensure all criteria are correctly set before submission.
Once your study is submitted it will be reviewed by Askable to ensure the quality of the study. This step usually takes 2-3 business hours.
After a successful review your study will be set to active. Participant recruitment will begin and selected participants will start completing interviews. Participant interviews will appear on the results page.
