I was impressed by the consistently high standard of GMS's work, especially their ability to conduct excellent interviews, as well as producing insightful and professional reports. GMS contributed valuable and perceptive feedback during debriefing sessions. They were very flexible in their availability and dedicated to the project we were working on.

“We are a small research boutique and GMP made it quick and easy for us to get high quality, freelance moderators. One of our main tasks is running ad-hoc qual studies and we tend to spend 2-3 days to find moderators using UpWork or Fiverr. And GMP helped us do that 4x faster, setting up calls with moderators within 12 hours. I'd definitely use them again!”
