We've worked with the team at GKA several times to recruit hard-to-reach participants for our human factors studies, and they have consistently exceeded expectations. Even when a participant cancelled at the last minute, they quickly found a replacement that same morning. Their deep understanding of our needs and seamless coordination takes the pressure off, allowing us to focus fully on the study. They are exceptional at what they do and an invaluable part of our project team!
