What does participating as a user tester involve?
When invited to participate in an opportunity, we will provide you with specific details about what that opportunity will involve, and you then choose if you would be interested in participating.
- User Testing – this generally involves a member of our team guiding you through an app, website or product and you’d be asked to provide feedback of your experience throughout the session.
- Questionnaires (which would be provided digitally as a link).
- Focus Groups / Group Discussions. These sessions may either be with other user testers or the Client’s Staff.
- General User Research.
In your application we will ask you to confirm which of these project types you would be interested in receiving invitations for.
Where do the user tester opportunities take place?
Depending on the specific opportunity, user tester sessions will be conducted either:
- Remotely (via Zoom)
- Onsite (i.e. at a physical location)
As part of the invitation for an opportunity, we would specify either the address for the opportunity or if it is being conducted remotely. Our remote sessions take place over Zoom video call (as default). If the opportunity involves testing an application, website or similar, we will ask that you use the ‘Screen Share’ function so that we can observe your interactions with the content being tested. Likewise, we will ask you to have your camera on, so that we can observe any physical, non-verbal and/or device-related interactions with the content being tested.
Rates of Pay
For user testing, focus groups or general user research, the length of the session will typically be between 1 – 2 hours. For these opportunity types, participants would typically be paid between £40 – £75 per hour, depending on the opportunity (unless otherwise specified). Additionally, we typically cover travel expenses up to £30 (unless otherwise agreed / specified). Note: You would be advised of the length of the session as part of the invite to participate.
