How do you recruit accessibility testers without attracting bad actors?

Hiya. Was hoping to get some guidance from people here who know this community better than I do. I'm helping a user testing startup, called See Me Please scale into the UK and Ireland.

It provides remote, flexible & well-paid user testing opportunities for people from underrepresented groups (blind/low vision, Deaf/HoH, neurodivergent, older adults) and share findings with organisations to help them build more accessible digital products. It's an Australian business now moving into the UK and Ireland. That said, it's more of a side hustle rather than a full time thing.

The floor pay rate is double the open min wage, and we always pay 3 hours (even if it takes an hour). Interested testers can nominate a higher rate too

Sadly, we had people pretend to have disabilities to access the well paid work when we started in Australia and found the best participants came from referrals.

Any suggestions on where/ how to promote the roles to attract the specific people we're looking for would be greatly appreciated.

Any advice appreciated, seemeplease.com/test-with-us

Reach out to advocacy groups and service organizations that work with the kinds of people you‘re seeking for testing. Some might have a structured advertising channel that you can plug into or they could be willing to share the info through their internal lists and networks.
