Better words for conducted on a resume: researched, audited, tested and interviewed. Conducted tells the reader a process happened. The better word names the method, so the line can move straight on to what you found.

## 15 better words, grouped by what you actually did

Example lines, not real results. Use your own facts and numbers.

### Research and analysis

You looked for an answer.

- **Researched** competitor pricing across the main online rivals for the spring range.
- **Investigated** a rise in failed deliveries and traced it to one courier route.
- **Analyzed** exit survey answers to find why new hires left in their first year.
- **Surveyed** customers on the new loyalty scheme and wrote up what they asked for.

### Checks and audits

You compared something against a standard.

- **Audited** the payroll system for duplicate payments each quarter.
- **Inspected** scaffolding on three building sites weekly against the safety checklist.
- **Reviewed** supplier contracts for renewal dates and price clauses.
- **Assessed** new patients' fall risk on admission and set their care plans.

### Tests and experiments

You tried something to see what happened.

- **Tested** the mobile checkout on a dozen devices before each release.
- **Ran** A/B tests on the pricing page headline and button text.
- **Piloted** a four-day week with the support team and reported the results to HR.

### Interviews and sessions

You asked people questions, or watched them work.

- **Interviewed** small-business owners about how they budget, to shape the app's first version.
- **Facilitated** focus groups with parents on the new school timetable.
- **Moderated** usability sessions for the redesigned booking flow.
- **Observed** nurses on three wards to map where handover time went.

## One line, rewritten

- Before: Conducted research on customer needs.
- After: Interviewed 12 small-business owners about how they track invoices; their top three complaints became the first release's features.

Name the method and the people, then say what the research changed. 12 is an example; use your real count.

## When conducted is fine

Keep conducted for formal processes where the noun carries the meaning: “Conducted structured interviews for the graduate scheme” or “Conducted a fire risk assessment”. In clinical research and HR it's the standard word, and readers expect it.

## Swaps that say less

- **performed:** ATSPrep's bullet checker flags it as a weak opener.
- **carried out:** Says the same thing in more words.
- **did:** Too vague.
- **orchestrated:** Overblown for a survey or an audit.
- **ushered, escorted:** The other meaning: conducted a tour. Wrong here.

## Questions

### What is a synonym for conducted on a resume?

Researched, investigated or analyzed for research; audited, inspected or reviewed for checks; tested or piloted for experiments; interviewed or facilitated for sessions with people.

### How do I write conducted research on a resume?

Name the method, who or what you studied, and the result: what changed because of what you found.

### Is conducted a strong action verb?

It's correct but flat. It tells the reader a process happened, not what you found. Swap it for the method and add the finding.

### Which is better, conducted or performed?

Neither is strong as an opener. ATSPrep's bullet checker flags performed; it doesn't flag conducted, but both hide the real work. Use the specific verb.
