At Thorn Network, we structure each research assignment to the requirements of the client's specific needs. From the start, there is a mutual understanding of the scope and direction of the assignment, including potential complications or challenges. We present this information in the form of a proposal.

We directly contact and interview potential candidates to establish their qualifications and interest. Thorn Network conducts telephone interviews to determine candidates qualifications as outlined in the proposal.
