New York (Saudi Tourism Ministry Project) Hajj Traveller Focus-Group Recruitment
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
We have a qualitative study coming up and we need a local partner in New York , USA who can quickly recruit 6 suitable respondents for an online focus-group.
What we need you to do
• Identify and screen residents of NYC, Muslim males 30 -55 years old, who have been to Hajj in past 2 years
– Group 1: completed Hajj in 2025 (a few may have travelled in 2024) through a government authority or any recognised Hajj/Umrah agency.
• Secure six confirmed participants.
• Source them primarily through community centres or mosques—as this is our preferred route—though you can add other creative channels if that helps you hit quota on time.
• Deliver a clean participant list with contact details and screening answers no later than the agreed deadline. You will have to gather the participants at the prescribed date and time in a hotel banquet or the seminar room of the mosque for online interview
Logistics already arranged
Sessions will run on Zoom, last maximum 90 minutes, and include simultaneous translation. Links, moderator, translation and English-language transcripts are all handled on our side; your sole focus is recruitment and scheduling.
Acceptance criteria
1. All 6 participants meet the exact profile above.
2. Show rate of at least 10/12 on the day—replacements required for any drop-outs.
3. Full participant grid delivered in Excel/Google Sheet, verified and ready for client review.
If you have an existing network within NYC Islamic communities or experience recruiting for religious travel studies, this should be straightforward. Let’s discuss timelines and any questions you may have.
PS: Please note that someone from our team will personally travel to moderate the interview. If not then we will appoint a moderator from our office in NYC to run the clinic
