Question 1

How does recruiting on Cohort work?

Accepted Answer

You post a study with your screener questions and incentive. Our team reviews the brief, and once it is live, matching participants apply and pass your screener. You review the qualified applicants, invite the ones you want, schedule sessions, and after you confirm attendance the participant is paid.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

You set the participant incentive, and Cohort charges one flat service fee per recruited participant — 50 ₾, or 30% of the incentive if that is higher. There are no subscriptions or setup fees. You can see a full example on the pricing page.

Question 3

How do wallet deposits work?

Accepted Answer

You fund a company wallet before launching studies. Top it up by bank deposit, and your available balance is what you draw on when a study is approved.

Question 4

Can I pay against an invoice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request an invoice from your wallet for the amount you need. Once it is settled, the funds appear in your wallet balance and you can fund studies from there.

Question 5

How do you keep participant quality high?

Accepted Answer

Every participant passes phone verification, ID review, and profile completion before they can apply. We run manual quality checks, and you only ever see applicants who match your study and pass your screener.

Question 6

How does screening work?

Accepted Answer

You build a custom screener when you create a study. Answers automatically filter out people who do not fit your criteria, so only qualified applicants reach your review queue.

Question 7

What happens if a participant does not show up?

Accepted Answer

A participant is only paid after you confirm they attended. If someone does not show up or the session is cancelled, no payout and no service fee are charged for that session.

Question 8

What happens to funds I do not use?

Accepted Answer

When a study is approved, the estimated cost for your target number of participants is reserved from your wallet. If you recruit fewer people than planned, the reserved funds for the sessions that did not happen are released back to your wallet balance, based on how each session resolves.

Question 9

How is scheduling handled?

Accepted Answer

Invitations, session booking, and reminders all happen in the platform. Sessions can be run remotely or in person, and participants book a time that works for them.

Question 10

Can I bring my own list of participants?

Accepted Answer

Not in the current version. Studies recruit from Cohort’s verified Georgian panel rather than an imported external list. If you have a specific need, get in touch and we will see how we can help.

Question 11

Is it free to join?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating a participant profile is completely free. You earn money by completing sessions — you never pay any fees to take part.

Question 12

How and when do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Once the researcher confirms you attended your session, we process your incentive to your Georgian bank account. Payment always depends on confirmed attendance.

Question 13

Is my ID safe?

Accepted Answer

ID verification is a one-time check that keeps the panel trustworthy and protects payouts. Your ID document is stored securely and is never shared with researchers — they do not see it.

Question 14

Why do I need to verify my phone?

Accepted Answer

Phone verification confirms you are a real person and is required before you can apply to studies. It is a quick, one-time step that keeps the panel high-quality.

Question 15

Do I need to complete my profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A complete profile means we only show you studies that actually fit you, and it is required before you can apply.

Question 16

How do I apply to studies?

Accepted Answer

Browse the studies that match you and answer a short screener to check you are a fit. You can only apply to a given study once.

Question 17

What if I cannot attend a session?

Accepted Answer

Let the researcher know as early as you can so the session can be rescheduled or cancelled. Because payment depends on confirmed attendance, missing a session without attending means there is no payout for it.

Question 18

How do my bank details work for payouts?

Accepted Answer

You add your bank details in your profile so we can pay you. They are used only to send your payouts, are kept private and secure, and are never shown to researchers.
