FAQs

Do I have to “sell” anything?

No. This is purely market research. You are gathering opinions, not selling products or asking for money.

How does the scheduling work?

You pre-book your shifts in 6-hour blocks. You must commit to at least 12 hours (two shifts) per week, scheduled between 9 am and 8 pm.

What kind of training will I get?

Ipsos provides award-winning training that covers how to approach people, how to use the tablet, and how to stay safe while working in the field.

What is “Ipsos More”?

It is an internal platform that gives you discounts on everyday shopping, holidays, household goods, and clothing.

Do I need business insurance right away?

Yes, since you are using your vehicle for work purposes, you will need to ensure your car insurance covers “business use.”

Expert Analysis

Ipsos is currently ranked as one of the Top 50 companies for gender balance by The Times, making this a particularly progressive environment for female professionals. Field interviewing is an excellent way to build “soft skills” like negotiation and psychological profiling, which are highly valued in sales, policing, and social work. The mileage reimbursement makes this a financially viable option even with rising fuel costs in the South East.

Location & Logistics Guide

Field Interviewers in Slough will cover a wide variety of areas, from the busy town centre to residential outskirts like Cippenham and Langley. Because you use your own car, you have the advantage of starting your shift as soon as you reach your assigned “patch,” without having to report to a central office every day.
