“It is a real pleasure working with IFF on the largest annual social survey in the UK. Their ability to adapt, attention to detail and adherence to principles of good practice in research have led to the establishment of a strong foundation for Graduate Outcomes. Good communication within the organisation and with HESA as their client has enabled us to tackle challenges in a timely manner while meeting critical deadlines. Being a solution-oriented organisation, IFF have made a significant contribution towards the successful customisation of the CATI system, in order to meet the most complex requirements of this survey.”
Neha Agarwal, Head of Research & Insight, HESA
