Abstract

We conducted a workshop on ''Addressing Challenges in Recruiting Participants for Human-Centric Computing Research Studies'' at the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC)'24 Conference. In the workshop, we conducted a brainstorming session on ''roadmap development of making participant recruitment easier for human-centric computing studies in both industry and academia''. This article presents 7 stages of participant recruitment and key strategies identified by the authors (workshop participants) during the brainstorming session.
