How to recruit participants from multiple countries?

You can recruit from several countries in one study. Add each location on the Recruit tab, set your quota to the total across all countries, and use quota targets if you need a guaranteed number per country.

Add your locations

In the Audience section of the Recruit tab, search and add each Participant location. You can mix cities, states and countries.

If your list covers most of a country, select the whole country instead of stacking regions, then use a screener question to capture the detail. Askable recruits from these countries.

Set quotas per country

Set Number of participants to your total, then turn on Quota targets to define a segment per country with its own quota, for example 10 from the US and 10 from Canada. Without quota targets, the split follows whoever applies and you'd manage the balance yourself by hand picking with segments.

Languages

Add language requirements, including fluency, in the Audience section. Language targeting matches what participants have listed in their profiles, so for a language not in the list, add a screener question instead.

Incentives and currencies

Nothing to do here. Participants are paid in their local currency, with amounts adjusted per market. See About participant incentives.

Allow extra recruitment time

International and niche audiences typically take longer to fill. Build in buffer, and keep session times friendly across the time zones involved. See How do timezones work on Askable.

In person studies

Run one study per location. Each in person study advertises a localised address and travel details to participants, which one multi-country study can't do.
