Respondent
Company interviews paying up to $200 per session
Respondent connects professionals with companies and brands that need high-quality qualitative feedback. Sessions are interviews, focus groups, or product tests lasting 30 to 90 minutes and can pay between $35 and $200 per hour. Availability varies considerably depending on profile and country, but those who match available studies get one of the best hourly rates in the sector.
How to get started step by step
- 1Create your profile in maximum detail. Sign up with your email or LinkedIn. The more information you include about your industry, role, years of experience, and specific skills, the more likely you are to appear in recruiter searches. Connecting LinkedIn adds credibility.
- 2Apply to up to 5 projects per day. Respondent allows up to 5 study applications per day. Spread your applications throughout the day rather than using them all at once, so you do not miss projects that appear later.
- 3Write detailed application answers. Many candidates submit single-sentence responses. Taking 2 to 3 minutes to respond with detail and relevance makes a real difference against the competition. Recruiters read those answers to decide who to contact.
- 4Respond quickly when contacted. If a recruiter messages you to confirm availability, reply as soon as possible. Projects have limited spots and participants who confirm faster have an advantage.
- 5Attend the session. Sessions take place via video call (Zoom, Teams), in recorded format, or in person depending on the project. They last between 30 and 90 minutes. Some studies are interviews with a real person and others are sessions with an AI.
- 6Get paid through Tremendous. After the session, payment is processed within a few days through Tremendous, which lets you convert it into gift cards from many stores (Amazon, etc.). For amounts under $20 you can also withdraw directly via PayPal.

Tip to maximize earnings
Profiles with experience in technology, marketing, human resources, healthcare, or finance get access to the highest-paying projects. If you have been waiting a while without opportunities, review that your profile is fully up to date and add any new experience you may have. Applying consistently every day makes a difference over time.
