As a Respondent, can I add or suggest other participants for the survey I received?

In Salary Confidential, Requesters define the participants of their survey peer groups. This is to make sure that though requesters don't know who, exactly, participated from the list of people they invited, they do know exactly who it could be

This is why when the survey completes and they read the survey report, the data they receive is exactly useful because all respondents were selected by them to represent something valuable to learn.

As an invited peer, you cannot invite your own network to a survey peer group

This is why we have a system of invitation tokens, which are for requesters to distribute to their selected invitees. One token gives access to one submission of data, so even if a respondent shared their survey link, information cannot be submitted unless you also have a valid, unused invite token.

Only requesters can generate invitation tokens

Reach out to your Requester to suggest potential respondents

If you know someone who could add valuable context, you can reach out to the Requester directly -- usually through the same channel where they contacted you (email, DMs, etc.).

The Requester can decide whether to add new slots to collect more responses, and they can share more invite tokens with these additional people they want to invite to the survey you've been invited to yourself
As the paying party, it’s their call to adjust the size of the survey group (more responses), the scope (the type of peer), or composition (the specific members of the peer group).

Of course, there’s another option: become a Requester yourself.
You can launch your own survey and bring the peers you think will make for the survey you exactly want

About our privacy-preserving survey invitation tokens

Yes, they look like they could be tracking codes but they are not. They are cryptographic tokens, like e-cash (we don't know who redeems them, and the requester cannot track whether they have been redeemed). They are designed for privacy, while still guaranteeing the promise of Salary Confidential: compensation polls with high control over the participant pool. Read more about them in this FAQ item
