# Do you prevent duplicate survey responses?

**Yes**, TalentMap recommends using a unique URL for each respondent. Each respondent obtains it's own unique URL and once completed the link is closed and cannot be accessed again.

A key challenge with survey deployment is to ensure we get a sufficient response rate, however, we do ensure respondents don't complete the survey more than once.

The ideal deployment method is using a unique URL which is specific to the individual respondent. Once that survey is completed the link is closed and can't be used again or re-accessed.

If deploying by unique URL is not an option and the survey is launched using an open link, TalentMap has means for checking duplicates including looking at response rate patterns, reviewing open-ended comments etc.
