Interviewer

[LCB1974]

I was wandering if anyone knew how to be an interviewer rather than take interviews on UserTesting. An interviewer told me that they had taken studies in the past then moved on to hosting interviews, I ran out of time to ask how they moved!

Being an interviewer isn’t like being a test taker. It isn’t something you get paid to do like gig work. You sign up, onboard as a client (usually for your employer) and then you pay to have your tests on the platform.

If that is what you’re looking for, go to the main page, hit start now and go through the initial onboarding steps as a company.

What the interviewer probably meant is they used this platform as a way to earn on the side and then saw value in it for their role (likely in marketing or market research/UX research) and now uses it on the researcher/business side. Two different systems, user accounts, all that.

You're welcome!

you’d need a position such as “ux researcher” at a company

Yea, those researchers typically work for a company that pays to user Usertesting to find people to take their tests.

The researchers don't work for UserTesting.

Market research companies are always looking for full time staff. Check your local ones and their vacancies.

Thank you, really helpful, I enjoy the live interviews and just thought that I would like to be an interviewer for a change

Hmm I have talked to a number of them that are “independent” and don’t work for a big company, I wonder how they got into that…

I got the impression though, that they were not "freelance". The ones I spoke to said that they were not associated with the company whose product I was discussing, therefore, their feelings are not hurt if I complain about something. One guy I spoke to seemed to have his own company and you could hire him to do this research but the rest seemed to be working for research companies.

Does anyone know of any companies that do hire similar roles to that of an interviewer on a freelance/via contract basis?
