A Virtual Organisation
When you work with the best, the difficult becomes fun.
Windshift has established a wonderful “virtuous circle” for itself – attracting high calibre independent researchers who work collaboratively on our research projects and gain great satisfaction from the combination of high performance teamwork and intellectual challenge.
These are a new breed of self-employed researchers who combine their research practice with other complementary activities - and have a life as well.
Add to this mix:
- an international relationship with London-based Clarity Worldwide
- the skills of specialist qualitative recruiting firm PfI to ensure we speak to the right people
- online survey capacity thanks to Questionpro.com and Australian-based My Opinions
- the quantitative research capacity of firms like Consumer Link Ltd
and you have a “virtual” exploratory research company of unparalleled experience and expertise, which is also a pleasure to be part of.
