Client Testimonials

Congratulations on your efficiency, the quality of the recruitment, the respect of the brief, and the swift handling of our request.

Incredible work and top-quality participants. Always flexible and highly responsive. Thanks to your support, we were able to run a full week of rich, insight-packed testing for innovation.

A responsive and attentive team, with smooth and pleasant communication. Professionalism and trust, as always, on every project we’ve worked on together! Thank you!

Excellent and highly efficient recruitment, even with tighter deadlines than usual. Email responses were always very quick. The profiles matched the criteria perfectly, and the women were genuinely interested and engaged in the world of beauty and skincare. A big thank you!

Highly responsive, top-quality recruitment, on-time delivery, and very pleasant communication!

The project turned out to be more challenging than expected, but the team got fully involved and did their best to find solutions. I'm very happy to be working with AVENIR FOCUS!

It was a real pleasure working with AVENIR FOCUS, who rose to the challenge of finding highly specific profiles that couldn’t be sourced from standard databases. Testers with significant financial assets and solid knowledge of banking investments and life insurance products… Well done!

I didn’t think recruitment could go this smoothly: excellent communication with the AVENIR FOCUS team, who were extremely responsive, a high-quality panel, and interviews scheduled in no time. Thank you!

This was a complex study with many challenges. Yet everything ran smoothly, and we encountered no issues along the way. I’m extremely grateful for the team’s constant efforts and their ability to consistently see projects through to the end. Working with AVENIR FOCUS is always a great experience!

A quickly recruited panel and smooth interviews from start to finish! I highly recommend working with them.

Great responsiveness and attention to our needs, the recruitment was very well handled. The participants were excellent, and the groups went perfectly. Thank you!

A responsive and attentive team, with smooth and pleasant communication. Professionalism and trust, as always, on every project entrusted to them! Thank you!
