Presently we're recruiting Product Testers (from home) in most of the United Kingdom regions to expand our private network of In-Home Usage Testers (IHUT) to fulfill upcoming contracts with multinational market research companies. We guarantee 15-20 hours per week with an hourly pay of between £14/hr. And £19/hr., depending on the In-Home Usage Test project. No experience required.

We leverage our network of private panels (In Home Usage Testers) to provide product testers to companies for evaluating the in-home experience with a wide variety of products to ensure proper product certification and greater market access.

Please note that although this job can be done from home 95% of the time, very occasionally In Home Product Testers may be asked to visit the client's office, laboratory, store, warehouse or factory for training or meetings. These optional visits are also paid by the hour.
