Automated VS Hand Picking

When setting up a Study, you can either automate the invite process or hand pick who you invite. So which is for you?

Why choose Automated?

Speed and ease. Plain and simple 🏎️
​

If you are not fussed about the mix of demographics but more just wanting to make sure they are a 100% fit based on the Screeners you have set up, this is the way to go.
​

This is perfect for early discovery calls or large scale quants!

It means that once someone completes your screeners, if they are 100% eligible, they will be invited right away, either to the Task or booked in for a Session.
​
This makes it an extremely hands off process for you. The only thing you then need to do is to ensure you check their responses within 24 hours of their submission OR jump on the call!

Why choose Hand Picking?

PRO: Hand Picking gives you more control on who you're speaking with or who's completing your tasks.
​
​CON: With higher control and quality, comes with more time involvement. You'll just need to spend more time to manually view and invite participants.

PRO TIP: If the mix you are needing is simple enough, such as gender or a single screener question difference, then you can always setup 2 Studies and choose Automated. This should only be done for simple splits which the system can manage.


Segments can help!

Hand Picking doesn't have to mean MORE WORK 🀯
​
You can easily manage your quotas & bulk invite people with the help of creating Segments. Here's a Video on how to mange your Study the way Askable experts would!
