Review:
If you are a medical professional — doctor, nurse, lab tech, etc — looking for a little side cash and happen to be in Michigan, it may be worthwhile to sign up. The company, recognizing that you might have privacy concerns will even will let you call rather than fill out the online form. The same courtesy is not extended to ordinary consumers, however. If you aren’t part of the medical community, you’ll be asked to give up tons of personal information with a promise that they’ll call you if they need you.
That said, Shifrin-Hayworth pays better than most survey companies and offers reasonable focus group pay too. Other sites to consider: FindFocusGroups; SignUp Direct and Consumer Opinion Services.
