Choosing the Best Patient Recruitment Company for Your Clinical Trial

Jon Eilberg • July 22, 2025

Top 9 Considerations You Must Get Right when Selecting the Best Patient Recruitment Company for Your Clinical Trial. 

With numerous clinical trial recruitment companies available, sponsors must carefully evaluate their options carefully to ensure efficient patient enrollment and high-quality outcomes. Questions like "What other sponsors and types of trials have they managed in the past," "Do they offer a 100% guarantee," "Will you be working with their A team after the deal is signed?" All these considerations and more can make or break your patient enrollment success.

1. Expertise in Clinical Trial Marketing

A top-tier agency should have extensive experience in clinical trial marketing, including targeted strategies to reach diverse patient populations. Look for a company with a proven track record of crafting compelling patient recruitment campaigns that resonate with subjects and drive results. Trial AMPlify excels in creating tailored clinical trial digital marketing strategies that drive engagement and enrollment. See why AstraZeneca, Seattle Children's Hospital, LEXEO, Crinetics, and Palvella Therapeutics all rely on us for their clinical trial recruitment.


2. In-house Clinical Trial Landing Page Design

A well-designed, user-friendly website is essential for attracting and retaining participants. Many patient recruitment companies outsource their clinical trial website work. Ensure your new patient recruitment company does everything in-house under one roof. No other patient recruitment company designs more clinical trial websites than Trial AMPlify. A well-designed, user-friendly website is essential for attracting and retaining participants. Ensure the agency prioritizes intuitive navigation, mobile optimization, and clear calls-to-action. Our 100% design guarantee ensures your website meets the highest standards, or we’ll revise it until it does.


3. Data-Driven Digital Marketing Strategies

Effective clinical trial digital marketing leverages data to target the right audiences. Choose an agency that uses analytics to refine campaigns, optimize ad spend, and track performance metrics like click-through rates and conversion rates. A successful patient recruitment company should use a data-driven approach to ensure your enrollment efforts are both efficient and impactful.


4. Patient-Centric Approach

The best clinical trial recruitment companies prioritize patient engagement. By creating materials that are clear, empathetic, and culturally sensitive, a sponsor can realize recruitment success more quickly. Your new agency should understand the patient journey and address barriers to participation, such as mistrust or lack of awareness, to boost enrollment.


5. Regulatory Compliance and Ethical Standards

Compliance with FDA, IRB, and HIPAA regulations is non-negotiable. Select a patient recruitment company with deep understanding of clinical trial regulations to ensure all recruitment materials and strategies adhere to ethical and legal standards, protecting both sponsors and patients' private personal data.


6. Multichannel Recruitment Capabilities

A Facebook campaign is not a strategy. Many sponsors fail to leverage the more effective marketing channels such as Google Ads, SEO (Google page # 1 results), and programmatic display advertising. A robust recruitment marketing strategy spans multiple channels, including social media, email campaigns, search engine marketing, and community outreach. Partner with a patient recruitment company skilled in integrating these channels to maximize reach and engagement in clinical trial marketing.


7. Proven Success in Diverse Therapeutic Areas

Different therapeutic areas require unique recruitment approaches. Choose a patient recruitment company with experience across various indications, from oncology to rare diseases, to ensure they can adapt strategies to your study’s specific needs. Trial AMPlify’s extensive portfolio demonstrates our versatility and success.


8. Transparent Reporting and Communication

Transparency is key to a successful partnership. The patient recruitment agency should provide regular updates on campaign performance, enrollment progress, and budget utilization. Clear communication ensures alignment and allows sponsors to make informed decisions throughout the trial.


9. Scalability and Flexibility

Clinical trials vary in size and scope, so your recruitment partner must be able to scale efforts as needed. Whether it’s a small Phase I study or a global Phase III trial, the agency should offer flexible solutions to meet your goals. Trial AMPlify’s adaptable strategies ensure seamless recruitment at any scale.
