Outsourcing Interviews - How much would you pay?

[Bill_Z]

Hi everyone,

Just a question I thought I'd throw out there. I am going to be outsourcing a job to interview experts in the health and beauty field to ask them, well, health and beauty questions that people are interested in. The interviews would be 15 mins or less, and I would require the provider to send me the following for approval:

1 - Gather relevant questions for the interview, which I would then approve
2 - After they find and book someone, I would approve the interviewee
3 - After it's done, send me the recorded interview and any notes

How much would you pay per interview? Or if you have had this work before, how much did you pay?

I have no idea what to expect. I don't want cheap work, this is valuable to me so I'm willing to pay for good work. I just can't get a good gauge on a ball-park range on what to expect for this type of work.

If I were doing it, I would charge $300.00 an interview. So hopefully that will give you some sort of benchmark. Of course, I was a professional interviewer for more than 30 years, so there you go.

Thanks Scott. Does anyone else have any input on this? I didn't specify in my OP that these are PHONE interviews. All of this can be done from home, with Skype, etc...
