# Auto-recruit from Partner Panels
| Study type | Availability |
|---|
| Usability tests | true |
| Media surveys | true |
| AI moderated studies | true |
With auto-recruit, you can let Dscout automatically progress qualifying applicants into your study based on targeting attributes and screener questions added to the start of your mission. This speeds up your research by removing the need to manually screen each participant. And if you need both speed and expanded reach, you can choose to auto-recruit from Partner Panels when setting up your mission.
{% hint style="warning" %}
You can only choose one recruitment approach for your mission, so choosing to recruit from Partner Panels means your mission will only be available on our third-party partner platforms.
{% endhint %}
**To auto-recruit from Partner Panels:**
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
On the **Missions** tab of your Dscout project, click **Create mission**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select a supported study type (Usability test, media survey, or AI moderated study).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select **Auto-recruit from Partner Panels** as your recruiting approach.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **Continue**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Configure the remaining settings as prompted to create your mission.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Now, add your targeting attributes and screener questions on the **Screener** tab of the builder. (Be sure to refer to the next section to understand the slight differences between recruiting from Dscout’s Scout Panel and Partner Panels.) Then, build the rest of your mission. And when you’re ready, submit your mission for review so we can open it to participants.
{% hint style="info" %}
You cannot skip review when recruiting from Partner Panels. Our typical turnaround time for mission review is 1–2 business days.
{% endhint %}
## Requirements and limitations
While recruiting from Partner Panels works very similarly to other Dscout recruiting methods, we impose a few limitations to ensure compatibility with our third-party partners.
### Skip logic
Skip logic (the ability to skip participants to different questions depending on their answers) is not supported in the screener portion of your mission.
### Piping logic
Piping logic (the ability to recall participants' responses in subsequent questions) is not supported in the screener portion of your mission.
### Targeting attributes
Targeting attributes automatically filter who can apply to your screener or mission based on information available in their profile with our third-party partners. When recruiting from Partner Panels, the following targeting attributes are available:
| Category | Attributes |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Demographics | - Country. (For more information on available countries, see Partner Panels.)
- Household income.
- Gender.
- Education.
- Ethnicity.
- Age Range.
|
| Work and professional | - Role level.
- Company size.
- Professional industries (select up to 5).
- Job function (select up to 3).
- Job titles (select up to 30).
- Audience skills (select up to 25).
|
### Screener questions
Screener questions are what participants will answer when applying to participate in your mission. **You may only use multiple choice questions as screener questions, and you must include a minimum of two.**
Be sure your questions include knockout logic, which will automatically reject applicants who provide responses that don’t fit your research needs.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Must select any** logic is not supported in Partner Panels screeners. If a single question has multiple acceptable responses, a participant must select all of them to qualify.
{% endhint %}
## Review responses
You can view responses from Partner Panels participants directly in Dscout as you would for any other mission. Simply navigate to the **Responses** tab of your mission. Responses from Partner Panels participants are indicated with a Partner Panels badge:
Once participants complete your mission, you'll have seven days to review their responses before payments are automatically made. In those seven days, a participant’s payment will remain on hold in the event that you flag their response as low-quality.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.dscout.com/recruit-participants/partner-panels/auto-recruit-from-partner-panels.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
