The video above proves that you don’t have to spend hours doing unnecessary setup and coordination to recruit for your user research project.
The video is 3 minutes long, so you should watch it (if not even just for the stumble halfway through).
But if you’re more of a reader, the transcript is below.

Today, I’m going to show you how you can have real people, real users, real customers, signing up to talk to you in less than 3 minutes of effort by using ListenKit.
Our goal today is to get interviews on the books with as little effort as possible.
This is where we want to drive people. This is a signup page on listenkit.com with a list of dates and times that you’ve said your users can book with you.
They simply click the date/time they are willing to talk to you, and they’re done. You both get appointments added to your calendar at the right time, with a meeting link.
So how do they get there? Two ways.
Let’s say you already have an existing list of users. My friend Eric used ListenKit last week to schedule interviews with trial users of his app. He had a list of 180 users, and wanted to have 10-15 interviews to gather feedback on the trial experience.
He logged into ListenKit and uploaded a list of customers from his internal tool.
Just like that, he emailed a customized link to each of them. (Wait for the email)
They click the link in the email, schedule a time, and boom. All he had to do was upload a CSV into ListenKit. As his users sign up, he AND they got meeting invites on their calendar, with the Zoom link, so everyone knows exactly when and exactly where to show up.
OK. But maybe you don’t have an existing user list yet. Maybe you’re doing discovery work on a new user research recruiting tool. [look]
but you DO know where to find the people you want to talk to. This is what i’ve been doing a lot lately. I’m using Listenkit to do research about ListenKit, so I have been asking PMs, designers, founders and researchers to talk to me for 30 minutes on Zoom. (In fact, if you are one of these people, click the link in the description below and let’s talk.) I share my signup link in communities where I know the people I want to talk to are spending time.. like LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, IndieHackers, wherever….
When someone there clicks the link, they are taken to my signup page, they enter their info, and they can select a time. Boom, done.
Then, all I have to do then is show up in the right Zoom link at the right time and you’re talking to your user. You share a link, ListenKit handles everything.
And thats (CLOCK)
This isn’t smoke and mirrors. This is all functional on listenkit.com today. And it works.
If you have a research project coming up in the next couple of weeks, or are willing to start one, you can use ListenKit for free in exchange for your brutal feedback.
