Built for people-centric teams

How leading teams are using Lightster
  • Oz N.
    I’ve been working with Lightster since their earliest days, and they have proven to be an invaluable partner in our work at PMF Studio. Most senior product people know that the hardest, and the most unpredictable, part of user research is recruiting. It always takes longer than you expect, it’s tedious so few people take joy in doing it, and quality is hard to maintain. Lightster managed to take away this headache for a number of our projects, as they deliver to spec quickly and efficiently. I’ve used them across most of our projects in 2023 and 2024, and they’ll continue to be my go to when we need to recruit across both B2B and B2C use cases.
