Network Member Recruitment

Who We Are

GLG is the founder and market leader of the expert network industry.

Expert networks connect clients — decision makers across every industry and sector — with professionals whose expertise helps them navigate pressing business decisions.

We created this category 25 years ago when our founders discovered that investors were more interested in speaking directly with subject-matter experts than spending hours poring over reports citing those same experts.

Today, expert networks are used by client organizations around the world to answer questions on industry trends, building better products, market feedback, deep dives on strategic challenges, hypothesis testing, and much more.

Why We’re Reaching Out To You

We’ve contacted you because a GLG client has asked to speak to someone with knowledge you might have, so we’d love for you to join our Network Membership.

GLG experts span every stage of their career, between jobs, or in retirement and connect with GLG clients on topics they know best. While we have a current project need that fits your knowledge, once you join our Network Membership, we will continue to share future opportunities with you as they arise.

GLG experts teach clients across industries and topics. Here are a few recent examples:

A doctor, professor, and consultant specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases helped a GLG client better understand the treatment landscape for neuromuscular diseases through a 1:1 call.

An SVP at a global commercial real estate firm responded to surveys built for GLG clients on trends in commercial real estate diligence as well as economic and geopolitical sentiments.

A senior strategic omnichannel tech leader in product design, digital transformation, data science, and machine learning co-led a virtual focus group on AI technology for a GLG client.

How Can I Help GLG Clients?

Each GLG client has a distinct reason to engage us, but there are common themes across requests.

For example, we may have reached out to you to see if you have experience with or have evaluated a particular product or software. Our clients may want to know why you made the decision to purchase it or how it compares to a competitor.

Why are they asking this?

Clients seek this information because your candid answer can help inform which product to choose, how much or how little to consider spending, and what outcome they can expect.

Every month, we replicate these interactions more than 20,000 times and make more than 50,000 payments to our experts.

GLG experts have an outsized impact on their industry, shaping business decisions and educating thousands of decision makers along the way.

How It Works

Complete a GLG Profile

After you tell us about your work history and sign your Terms and Conditions, you will set an hourly rate of your choosing.

Our Process

You already match an existing client project, so we will ask you to answer a few questions to confirm your knowledge fits our project’s precise need.

Confirm Your Availability

After our client reviews your profile and asks to speak with you, we’ll find a mutual time to connect you through a 1:1 call. Rarely is any prep work required in advance of your conversation.

Get Paid

Once the call is complete, you will submit an invoice and receive payment within 5-7 business days.

Stay Close

We’ll be on the lookout for your next GLG opportunity and reach out when you match one.

Compliance Details

There are parameters to what you’re allowed to share with our clients; you can explain what you know and the experience you have, but you cannot share confidential or non-public information.

Our Systems

We have proprietary systems and technology to manage potential conflicts, and we require all our experts to complete an interactive tutorial that explains in detail what you can and cannot disclose.

Terms and Conditions

As part of our standard agreement with each GLG expert, we ask that you confirm you have reviewed any relevant obligations and are permitted to participate.
This agreement is reviewed and re-signed annually.

How We Manage Your Eligibility

GLG will not ask you to discuss your current employer.
GLG honors any employment agreement that limits your ability to consult with us.
GLG engagements only seek your insight and information you are permitted to share — never confidential information.
