Interviewerpool

  • FWS works with an interviewer pool of 750 free-lanced interviewers.
  • For international projects we exclusively work with native speakers or students with outstanding language skills. A pool of 200 interviewers speaking 12 different languages enables us to carry out projects in the most important industrial countries.
  • For B2B (business to business) research, e.g. surveys with experts within IT-management or opinion leaders, we can fall back on 150 especially trained, experienced and competent interviewers.
  • For all kind of surveys an experienced supervisor team is responsible for the field organization, quality control and management.
  • Each interviewer is substantially trained and briefed for each survey individually by this supervisor team and the project management.

Monitoring

  • Our clients are more than welcome to listen undisturbed into the interviews from our supervising office to get a first impression on the interview.
  • It is also possible for the client to test the questionnaire externally or listen into the interviews from an external office.
