# Recruiting Participants

Traditional methods like 1:1 interviews are important to a product team’s toolbox. Sprig’s [recruiting prompts & screening survey templates](https://app.sprig.com/templates/recruit-for-research) help with participant recruitment and scheduling tasks.

Sprig is optimized for three recruiting use cases using the following templates:

* [Build a Research Panel](https://app.sprig.com/template/build-a-research-panel) - You may want to build an ongoing group of interested users with whom you can illicit feedback throughout the product development life cycle.
* [Recruit Participants Directly](https://app.sprig.com/template/recruit-participants-directly) - Use a study to screen participants directly for a study.
* [Identify Candidates for Follow-Up Screening](https://app.sprig.com/template/identify-potential-participants-for-follow-up-screening) - Perhaps your initial study has fairly broad screening criteria and you want further to whittle down perspective candidates for a specific study question.

## Recruiting Participants

The three main tasks are:

1. Choose a Template (or Start from Scratch)
2. Edit the Study
3. Launch the Study

### 1. Choose a Template (or Start from Scratch)

1. In the Navigation Pane, click **+ New Study**.
2. Click **Recruiting prompts & screening**.
3. Depending on your use case, click either **Build a Research Panel**, **Identify Candidates for Follow-Up Screening**, **In-Product Prompt for Concept Test**, or **Recruit Participants Directly**.
4. Click **Use this template**.

### 2. Design Questions & Audience

#### For the Questions Tab:

1. Review the questions.
2. Customize by changing the wording, deleting a question, or adding a question.
3. Please note that the first two Text/URL Prompts are used as opt-ins.
4. At Question 3, you’ll want to determine how many screener questions you’ll need. If you have multiple screener questions, then you can duplicate the question and add another.
5. Check to ensure all skip logic is in place and correctly directs the user to the right question(s).
6. Click **Save Changes** after editing. Saving the changes of your study places it into Draft status.

#### For the Audience Tab:

1. Choose a **Delivery Platform** (Web, Mobile, or Shareable Link); in this case, **Web**.
2. Choose **Targeting**. Select a trigger; in this case **Login**. Add a filter in your study to refine the target audience that should receive your study. Similar to your study trigger, select an event or attribute to target your eligible users for this study.

4. Click **Save Changes**. Saving the changes of your study places it into Draft status.

In the example from this Template, we wish to include users that:

* Have >= 7 logins (all time)

OR

* Signed up >= 21 days ago
