Intelligent Recruitment is Key
Finding the right participants is paramount to the outcome of your case. Experience and resourcefulness are pivotal to intelligent recruitment. Our teams go further and dig deeper to find the right participants. They apply their talents to an arsenal of web, phone, and in-person recruitment methods which set Sago apart in finding and engaging your target mock jury. We recruit and assemble members of the population who represent an actual jury in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, backgrounds, and political opinions.
Our Screening Process is Paramount to Your Success
We work closely with you in a rigorous screening process that is an integral part of our success. Screening involves excluding anyone with ties or special interest in the case. We work closely with your jury consultant to compile relevant background questionnaires. During telephone screening, we deploy elimination and distractor questions to ensure the respondent is unaware of which questions led to their exclusion. On-site screening is also important to the integrity and confidentiality of the process. We rescreen the participants to ensure their responses remain consistent and, at times, to add a final screening layer.
