Executive Interviewing

Executive Interviews are in-depth, one-on-one discussions with professionals, often in specialized industries or roles.

Unlike consumer interviews, Executive Interviews require qualitative researchers attuned to industry language and practices who can approach the conversation with an understanding of interviewees’ specializations and tie their perspectives back to the research goals.

W5 approaches executive or professional interviews by staying flexible in both timing and means of communication; interviews are conducted via telephone, webcam, or in person to accommodate participants’ schedules.

“Successful Executive Interviewing isn't about blindly following a guide, it's about two professionals having a conversation and allowing it to unfold naturally while still guiding it to capture the insights our clients need to influence their decisions.”

—Martin Molloy, W5 Senior Partner and Seasoned Moderator
