What is the value? How does it work?
Automated (or unmoderated) online user experience research*:
1. A researcher predefines a study script
2. No human moderation needed (moderation through software)
3. Hundreds of users participate simultaneously
4. You ask them to perform tasks and answer follow-up questions
5. Participation from geographically spread locations (local & int’l) and…
6. …in their natural context (using their own PCs)
7. Results: usability metrics, user behavior and web analytics
Very cost-effective and fast research method

International user experience study
Denise NangleUX Researcher
www.userzoom.com
Background
Historically, Monster delivered incremental changes to UI
Project REDUX was a redesign of the entire site, offering new
products and a new user experience
We needed an objective method to evaluate the strengths and
weaknesses of this new user experience
Solution? Userzoom remote, international usability study
Kick off for US, UK, France, Germany and Netherlands studies in
January 2009
www.userzoom.com
Objectives
Measure user satisfaction in 5 key markets
Measure task success and efficiency and identify usability issues as
users complete common tasks
Evaluate ease of use and likelihood of using Monster in the future
Collect data on users’ likes as well as their pain points
Compare results with past remote studies and develop benchmarks
www.userzoom.com
Methodology
Recruited 250 participants per channel (total = 1250)
Each participant completed 4 tasks; each task was followed by a
series of questions and a final questionnaire
Collected clickstream data to generate heat maps, which provided
additional data on user behavior

How Userzoom is helping Monster build a
better user experience
Using large sample sizes across different markets, we identify
opportunities for improvement in a very short period
We capture longitudinal metrics to demonstrate improvement over time
We triangulate results with other sources of data (marketing studies,
web analytics, heuristic reviews, lab studies) to help product,
development and UX teams make informed decisions based on actual
data
It showed us that less satisfied users are more specific in describing
what they’d like us to offer, and we take advantage of that information
when designing other studies
When we bring a holistic approach to our research strategy and share
the entire user experience, we are building a better UX team
