Research participants who can prove they lived it.
Panel recruiting runs on self-reported screeners, so you pay for people who are good at qualifying. Every person on Thands has already had the relevant claim checked against an official document.

Who this is for
- Fintech and insurance building for people mid-career-break, newly self-employed, or closing a business.
- Relocation, HR, and mobility products that need people who actually completed a visa process, not people who researched one.
- Founders validating a wedge where the target user is defined by an event — a layoff, a first hire, a shutdown — rather than a demographic.
How a project runs
- You send the criteria: the event, the timeframe, the market.
- We come back within two business days with how many verified people match, the per-session rate, and scheduling.
- Participants opt in individually. You get scheduled sessions, they get paid, and nobody's document leaves us.
What we will not do
We do not sell lists, share participant contact details without consent, or pass along verification documents. Recruiting is a managed service, not a data product.

The same document check that protects buyers is what makes this panel worth paying for.
