    I logged into my Boots Panel account today and I noticed that alot of the trials on "My Trials" account had "Recruited" along side the item. Does this mean that I will be doing the trial or does this mean that they have enough people to do the trial. I have never had a trial from them and I wondered what this means.:eek:
    I don't think so - I've received a couple of items to test recently, but 'Recruited' appears against many more of the trials in my 'My Trials' page. Perhaps it just means that they have now recruited enough people?
    :A A million thanks to everyone who posts :A

    Does it say recruited or REQUESTED....mine say requested if I have clicked that I would like to try the product...having said that,it doesnt mean that you will get the product to trial....
    The only way you know if you are testing the product is when it lands on your doormat...

    Ive also got several recruited trials where I have received the product already and some where I havent received it....so I guess its all pot luck really!

  • There is 8 or more items on "My Trials" which say Recruited near them. I will just have to wait and see what the postman brings, if anything.;)

    I think Recruited is the new term for in progress , as all my in progresses have been replaced with recruited , meaning the testers have been chosen. If that makes sense .

  • Yes that does make sense, but they could explain it more clearly for people to understand. So I will wait to see if I get anything.:D

    Hmmm does anyone know if they will kick you off for late questionnaires?

    I'm sending 4 in that will be up to several weeks late, wondering if I need to send an email to explain why (extended family emergency and a death) or whether 4 won't count against me?

    Recruited doesn't mean you've been accepted. I have seen this many times on my page and never get what's been recruited!

    I have also had things sent back late in the past: sometimes I get things which say to return by a certain date, yet the date is too soon to test the products! (eg, will specify to test for 4 weeks yet request being sent back with a date which is the next week) I have either written a little note on top to state the date difference or just ignored it.

    Occasionally in the past I have sent back trials yet had emails requesting me to fill in an online survey about the items- I'm quite worried about these as about 2 months ago I had this: I'd sent back 3 trials and on time yet had about a fortnight later and emailed survey reqesting me to fill- I had stated I had already sent things back the week before but filled in all the same, not been on any new trials since and now am slightly worried! Will be emailing next month if I don't hear anything from them soon...

    They haven't been recruiting new panelists for a number of months.. they normally only have one, maybe two intakes per year.



    Had four huge tubes of body creams arrive and a hair shine spray this morning!! :j
