Data Capture Staff.

Data capture staff are the people between your audience and your sign-up form, opening the conversation that turns a passer-by into a name, an email address or a finished questionnaire. We supply them throughout the UK to brands, agencies and research teams, whether you need them for a single morning or an entire season.

Collecting details since 2007

We put data capture in the hands of people able to start a conversation

A tablet left on a table collects very little. Someone has to catch an eye, say what the entry is for and make handing over a few details feel worth the minute it costs. That first exchange is the job itself, and the reason this team gets booked.

Competition entry, loyalty enrolment or a short set of survey questions: the people for it are chosen to fit your brief from over 6,000 on our register, spread across 40 hubs nationwide.

Checks

Cleared Before The First Question

We confirm Right to Work and ID for each person before placement, and each job is insured under Employer and Public Liability cover. Should you need a risk assessment or DBS checks, those are available on request.

Your brief

Knows Your Form Inside Out

Your answers on our briefing form cover the fields, the offer and the people you hope to sign up. From them, each team member is given a session before the event, so the pitch sounds like your brand.

Payroll

PAYE Stays With Us

The PAYE run for every shift, along with HR and each person's tax and National Insurance, is dealt with internally by Executional and never passed across to you.

Live shifts

Tracked Through The Shift

A reminder goes out ahead of each shift, check-ins carry a geo-tag and attendance is tracked as it happens. Each booking is assigned a project manager, with help a phone call away at any hour.

What the team collects

Data capture solutions, staffed six ways

Pick the jobs your campaign needs. Each card is a kind of data capturing we fill, and plenty of briefs mix two or three of them.

Match roles to your brief →
01

Sign-up and prize draw teams

Newsletter sign-ups, prize draw entries and app downloads at launches and live events, often working beside a brand activation that gives people a reason to stop.

02

Lead generation staff

People who open conversations with business visitors, ask the qualifying questions you set and pass the promising contacts to your sales people. Often booked together with exhibition staff for the heavier show days.

03

Market research staff

Face-to-face questionnaires on shopping streets, inside venues or at events. Your questions and your sample lead the way, and our market research team members put each one clearly and record every answer as it is given.

04

Trial sign-up staff

Taking details from people who have just tried something, so the trial leaves a contact behind it. Booked by itself, or folded into a bigger product sampling campaign.

05

Loyalty enrolment staff

Shop floor teams who sign customers up to a loyalty scheme or a store card near the tills or by the entrance, on whichever device the scheme runs on.

06

Capture team leads

Someone senior on site, an event manager or campaign lead, who directs the team, deals with changes as the day goes and acts as the link with the venue. One number for you to call.

Why clients keep booking us back

★★★★★
I hired 2 staff members to help gather feedback at an event and I was very impressed by both, and also with the service delivered before the event. I would highly recommend.
★★★★★
Very happy with the team member who helped us at the Franchise Show. Being accountants it is not the easiest business to talk about, but they learned very quickly and helped us speak to customers who were walking by. Professional and not shy to help the cause. Will certainly use again.
★★★★★
The staff on the day were phenomenal: friendly, professional and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble, and they carried out every task with a smile. It was a huge help to have the extra pair of hands at our event when I couldn't be everywhere at once. I was also very impressed with their proactiveness.
Booking, step by step

From your brief to data capture staff on the floor

The same four stages sit behind all our data capture solutions, from a single tablet at one event to teams across several cities over a month.

Start with your brief →
01

Share the target

Give us the sites, dates and shift times, the headcount per site and what success means for you, for example entries per hour or finished questionnaires.

02

See every cost

A transparent, fully itemised price follows, usually within hours. The breakdown lists rates, hours and every on-cost, carries no hidden fees, and fixes the billing terms before any shift starts.

03

People chosen, manager named

Our operations team selects each person on skill, track record and home location. After your approval, a dedicated account manager is attached to the booking.

04

Briefed on the questions

Each team member goes through a briefing built on your answers about the questions, the offer and the audience. Training, online or in person, can be added, and the live days are run by your project manager.

Buyer questions

Data capture methods, costs and cover: your questions

Short answers to what buyers tend to check before they hand us a sign-up brief.

Ask us for a price →

What do data capture staff do?

They collect details from the public for you. That means stopping people, saying what the sign-up or questionnaire is for and recording the answers carefully on whichever method the campaign uses. The aim is complete, usable entries, not a pile of half-filled forms.

Which data capture methods can your teams work with?

The common ones. Tablets, phone apps, QR codes and paper forms all come up regularly, and we brief the team on yours ahead of shift one.

Can you provide a marketing research team for face-to-face surveys?

Yes. We supply people to ask your questionnaire face to face, on the street, inside a venue or at an event. The questions, the sample and whatever you do with the results stay yours.

Do you supply lead generation staff for business events?

Yes. They start conversations with visitors, ask the qualifying questions you give them and hand the promising contacts over to your sales people while the event is still running.

What will data capture staff cost us?

Hours, headcount, dates and places all move the price. Your brief fixes each of them and the quote follows from that.

Can you staff a sign-up push with little warning?

Usually. Late requests are accepted, and every extra day of warning widens the pool we match against.

Can the same team hand out samples and take sign-ups?

Yes. Data capturing often sits next to handing out a trial or talking people through an offer, and one team can do both within the same shift when your brief calls for both.

Where in the country can you send a sign-up team?

Anywhere in Britain, backed by 40 staffing hubs. For the four largest cities there are dedicated pages too: event staff London, event staff Birmingham, event staff Manchester and promotional staff Leeds.
