Find the Experts Others Cannot Reach
Niche and expert audience recruiting for specialized research.
The Problem
You need highly specific participants. Doctors, engineers, niche hobbyists, rare user segments. People who are hard to find and harder to recruit.
But standard panels do not have them. Cold outreach gets ignored. You spend weeks recruiting and still end up with the wrong people.
The Solution
We specialize in hard-to-reach audiences. Custom sourcing strategies, network activation, verified credentials. We find the people you need, even when they are not looking to be found.
Access to expert audiences that standard panels cannot deliver. The right people for your specialized research.
What You'll Achieve
- Verified participants matching your exact criteria
- Fast turnaround with first results often in hours or days
- No-show protection with free replacements
- Scheduled and briefed participants ready for your sessions

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from teams we've worked with
The user research that was done by Marc and his team was the best investment we made! The comprehensive insights we got from it have helped us sharpen our product and even break some of our assumptions. This way, we could launch an MVP that is really focused on our users' core needs and bring real value with our product. User research is so crucial and the early on you do it, it saves so much production and marketing costs down the road. In short, highly recommended!!

Busch Labs/RUF have been an amazing partner for my team and THQ Nordic when it comes to qualitative studies for our video game projects. We were struggling to find partners that were able to adapt to our rapidly changing requirements and short timelines, but Busch Labs continuously went above and beyond our expectations. This is true for recruiting, play sessions, as well as reporting. On top of that, they also helped us strengthen our own internal knowledge and processes when it comes to UX. Marc and his team are very unique, and I strongly recommend them to anybody who has UX-related needs.

QA & UX Manager
Working with Busch Labs on usability research for our mobile inspection solution was extremely valuable. The user testing helped us identify key improvements and simplify the guidance, making the overall experience much more intuitive. We also saw a clear improvement in performance, as users now better understand how to use the solution as intended. Marc was great to work with! Very responsive, flexible to our needs, and able to recruit the right users for our specific use case.
