Intercept Real People for User Research
To find the right participants for your in-person and remote UX research, online exercises, or even surveys, use ethnio to create elegant recruiting screeners. Publish your screener using one of these methods:
Place our JavaScript on your site and control every detail of how the screener appears. Works on both mobile and desktop.
Create a screener to share via email, social media, or even targeted ads.
Use your iOS or Android library, or send out our responsive direct link.

Targeting with External Variables
Show your intercept to a specific region, device, or even pass data about your users to Ethnio using our custom targeting filters. Get exactly the right people in the right moment.
Ethnio makes traditional research recruiting obsolete. I know I’m getting the right participants because they’re OUR users; they're already using the product and already motivated to get something done.


Automatic Scheduling
The entire process of scheduling participants for in-lab interview, phone interviews, field visits, or remote moderated sessions is a huge pain. Use our completely automated tool to customize every email your participants receive, send them automatic reminders, and more.
Subscribe to your Ethnio research calendar to get dynamic updates on confirmed participants.
Every invite, details, confirmation, rescheduling, and group session email can be customized.
