To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Company details
Written by the company
Griot is a research recruitment agency dedicated to making real stories the foundation of meaningful innovation. We connect researchers with everyday people whose lived experiences bring depth, nuance, and context to product and service development. In today’s fast-moving world, big recruitment firms and surveys often miss the insights that matter most — the genuine voices of people whose perspectives are frequently overlooked. That’s where Griot comes in. We specialize in finding participants who can reveal what numbers alone cannot, delivering human-centered insights that help companies create better, more thoughtful solutions. For researchers, we offer tailored recruitment services that prioritize authentic connections, ethical practices, and high-quality insights. For participants, we provide a platform to share personal stories, engage in meaningful conversations, and receive fair compensation for their time and expertise. Our approach goes beyond focus groups or surveys; we believe the most impactful innovations come when you truly understand how people live, interact, and navigate the world. By partnering with Griot, companies gain access to insights that are both practical and profound, helping them design products and services that resonate with real lives. At Griot, we believe real people — and real stories — drive the future of innovation.

First research study experience
Prior to the study, I was nervous. Though, after the experience, it turned out to be fun and more relaxed than I thought it would be.
One improvement that I wish to be improved is more transparency regarding where the study is going to take place after listing the location as it was not disclosed initially in the description of the study.
Other than that, I had a good time!
Honored Potterhead
I’m honored to have been a part of this research! Tayler was very communicative about the process and what I should expect in the interview. The interviewers, especially Sahana, were so kind and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I’d highly recommend to anyone else interested in discussing their fandoms and interests.
Fast Pay!
I had a really good experience during my trial and it went way better than I had expected. I also was paid way sooner than I expected.
The Griot team offers exciting research and paid opportunities...
The Griot team offers exciting opportunities to participate in unique research studies. The onboarding process for smooth and clear from screening to connection with the research team. When there were changes in the study timeline, the Griot team offered clear updates and communication. I love being part of the griot community because I can easily contribute to cool research in a way that fits well into my lifestyle and brings me additional income!
The only reason I gave a 4 is because of a few hiccups with the research company/study I was selected for, not the Griot team.
