--- title: Learn more about recruitment! | Molly Ebdon description: Molly Ebdon is the Fieldwork Manager at Angelfish and has been part of the team since 2018, progressing from Project Executive to a trusted senior member of the fieldwork team. Often described as the “glue” of the project team, Molly is known for delivering consistently high-quality work and keeping even the most complex projects running smoothly. She was shortlisted for Operations Future Leader at the 2024 MRS Oppies Awards – a testament to her commitment and capability. When she’s not managing complex projects, Molly is Angelfish’s unofficial queen of lists – if you’ve got a trip coming up or need a perfectly structured plan, she’s already one step ahead. --- [![Angelfish Fieldwork](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/hubfs/2019%20Logo%20PNG.png)](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/) - [About Us](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/) - [What makes us different](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/what-makes-us-different/) - [What we do](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/what-we-do/) - [Meet the team](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/meet-the-team/) - [Our Community](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/) - Sectors - [Media](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/our-community-media-market-research-recruitment/) - [Retail](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/recruiting-retail-market-research/) - [Charity](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/charity-market-research/) - [FMCG](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/market-research-fmcg-sector/) - [Consumer Health](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/consumer-health-market-research/) - [Audiences](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/audience-research/) - [Baby Boomer](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/participant-recruitment-for-over-60s/) - [Generation Alpha](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/market-research-with-children/) - [Generation X](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/gen-x-research/) - [Generation Z](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-gen-z/) - [Millennials](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/recruiting-for-market-research-with-millennials/) - [Angelfish Opinions](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/angelfish-opinions/) - [Recruitment](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/research-participant-recruitment/) - [Customer Closeness](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/customer-closeness/) - [Accompanied Shopping](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/accompanied-shopping/) - [Customer Workshops](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/customer-workshops/) - [Digital Ethnography](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/ethnography/) - [Intercept Interviews](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/intercept-interviews/) - [Design Sprints](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/design-sprints/) - [Focus Groups](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/focus-groups/) - [Market Research Online Communities](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/market-research-online-communities/) - [User Experience Testing](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/user-experience-testing/) - [User Research](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/user-research-recruitment/) - Our Work - [Case Studies](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-case-studies/) - [Clients](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/clients/) - [Data Quality](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-data-quality/) - [Project Showcase](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/showcase/) - [Testimonials](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/testimonials) - Insights - [Blog](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-fieldwork-blog) - [Useful Resources](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/resources) - [Let’s Talk](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-fieldwork-quote) # Discover our recent blog posts ## Molly Ebdon ![Molly Ebdon](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/37585979690e7d7b81794ceb9d653b98) Molly Ebdon is the Fieldwork Manager at Angelfish and has been part of the team since 2018, progressing from Project Executive to a trusted senior member of the fieldwork team.
