As you gain experience, we offer opportunities to expand your skills across different face to face research methods and project types, supporting your growth as a market research professional.
Professional Tools & Equipment
Simple, Effective Software
Use our intuitive data collection software designed for ease of use without compromising functionality. The system is secure, reliable, and user-friendly, allowing you to focus on engaging with participants rather than wrestling with technology.

We supply all necessary equipment, including tablets, and materials needed to conduct research professionally. You’ll have the tools you need to collect high-quality data and represent Critical Research with confidence.
Technical Support
Our systems are backed by technical support to resolve any issues quickly, ensuring smooth data collection and minimal disruption to your fieldwork.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from people with:
- Excellent communication skills – the ability to put people at ease, ask questions naturally, and listen actively
- Reliability and professionalism – clients and participants depend on you to turn up, represent the company well, and deliver quality work
- Attention to detail – accurate data collection is essential to research integrity
- Adaptability – comfortable working in different environments and with diverse audiences
- Self-motivation – able to work independently whilst staying connected to the support team
Experience in market research, customer service, hospitality, sales, or any role involving regular public interaction is valuable but not essential – we prioritise attitude, capability, and commitment over previous experience.
As a face to face market research interviewer with Critical Research, you’ll conduct interviews, carry out street surveys, and collect data in various locations nationwide. Your day-to-day work includes engaging with research participants, recording their responses accurately using our professional software, and ensuring high-quality data collection that meets research standards. The role combines independent fieldwork with support from our experienced supervision team.
