- Participants typically start qualifying within a few hours depending on criteria.
1.**Social outreach:** Social posts may go out on GitLab's brand channels. The UX Research Operations Coordinator uses the [Social Request issue template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/corporate_marketing/corporate-marketing/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/social-general-request.md?ref_type=heads) in the [Corporate Marketing project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/corporate_marketing/corporate-marketing) to request this type of post. The DRI who opened the recruitment request may also be encouraged by the UX Research Operations Coordinator to handle opening the social request issue. This is a good choice for studies primarily aimed at GitLab users. Product Managers, Product Designers, and other teammates are highly encouraged to help promote their studies through their networks.
- Allow 1-2 weeks for these requests to go live.
1.**Direct Sourcing:** We can utilize LinkedIn to approach and source potential participants. Anyone at GitLab is able to request a [LinkedIn Recruiter license](/handbook/hiring). This [Unfiltered video](https://youtu.be/rc2IX1e2sQ8) and [slide deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LI9qXLRQSnikPiHztDQBapGrDn5Nimsf-K8g1r3j9Do/edit#slide=id.g29a70c6c35_0_68) provide an overview on how to use LinkedIn Recruiter to source participants for your study. Please note that your LinkedIn Recruiter seat is likely limited to sending only 200 InMails your first week. If you go over this amount, your account will be disabled for a week. After the first week, you can send up to 1000 InMails a day. If you go over this limit, your account will be disabled for a day.
1.**Direct Sourcing:** We can utilize LinkedIn to approach and source potential participants through outreach on the platform. This is a good option for finding and directly contacting participants who match specific criteria for your study. Be mindful of platform limits on the number of messages you can send in a given period.
- Allow 2 weeks minimum as this is the most time consuming recruitment method.
1.**Docs site banner:** We can occasionally use a banner on the [Docs site](https://docs.gitlab.com/) to promote larger surveys. There are some biases that should be considered when sampling by this method.
- The docs team can choose not to allow your request. Typically it takes 1 week to get this up and running.
