Experts

When we believe your professional experience is valuable and may be of interest to one of our clients, you’ll receive a direct call or message from AlphaSights. No matter your professional background, your knowledge is unique and may be particularly helpful for our clients. The goal of our initial outreach is to introduce what we do over the phone and mutually determine whether there’s an opportunity to work together. If you would like to read other experts’ reviews of AlphaSights, have a look at our Trustpilot page.

We use various public sources, such as professional social networks (e.g. LinkedIn), journals and news reports to identify individuals who have professional experience that may be relevant to our clients’ projects. If we’ve contacted you by email or phone about a specific client project, we may have obtained your contact details from a third-party partner. We only work with third parties who guarantee they have sourced all contact details in compliance with applicable data privacy laws. For more information about how your personal data is collected, see our Privacy Policy.

We handle your data with the utmost care and confidentiality. If you express interest in working with AlphaSights, we will share an overview of your professional background with our client so they can determine if they would like to engage you. We will never share your contact details with our clients without your consent.

Our clients are contractually required to treat any information we share with them (or you share with them during an interaction) confidential. They are prohibited from sharing your information with third parties or using it other than in connection with their specific project scope.

If you have any questions, please read our Privacy Policy or contact your contact person in our company directly.

The majority of AlphaSights experts are currently in full-time employment and client interactions can fit easily and flexibly into a busy work schedule. Your participation is in a personal capacity and cannot be as a representative of your employer.

We do not operate as a self-sign-up network. However, feel free to register your interest using the form above. Additionally, we recommend keeping your professional networking sites up-to-date concerning your latest positions, responsibilities and experience.

If you’d like to make changes to your profile, the best approach is to amend your professional networking profile and/or let us know when we next get in touch for a project. AlphaSights does not offer experts a platform login at this time.

How often your expertise is requested depends on dynamic client needs. Sometimes, you may receive multiple requests in a short space of time. Other times, there may be longer periods of inactivity. We will reach out when there is a suitable project for you.

We aim to keep interactions on the calendar as originally scheduled. However, our clients unfortunately have to reschedule or cancel occasionally due to calendar conflicts and changing priorities. We will let you know of such changes as soon as we can.

Please use this form to inform us about changes to your email address or phone number so we know how to contact you for the next project. If you’d like to make any other changes, please speak to a member of the AlphaSights team when we next get in touch about a project.

If you are eligible for monetary compensation, we'll pay you an agreed hourly rate on a pro-rata basis based on the time you spend interacting with our clients. AlphaSights' standard terms of payment are 30 days, but we always aim to compensate as quickly as possible. Upon completing the client interaction, you'll receive a secure payment link with easy instructions for bank transfer. US and Canada-based experts can opt for a check.

Experts in certain countries can also choose to receive an excellent bottle of Bordeaux sent straight to your door.

Alternatively, you can donate all or a portion of your fees to our chosen charity partner. If you’d like to donate to a charity of your choice, please opt for a cash payment and submit the charity payment yourself.

Payment processing will always be in line with our Terms of Payment, which are sent to you before any interaction.

If you would like to discuss your hourly rate, please speak to a member of the AlphaSights team when we next get in touch about a project. High rates typically lead to lower demand for your expertise.

AlphaSights is incorporated in the UK, so you should follow the tax rules in your country for income received from the UK. For this reason, we don’t issue 1099s to experts domiciled in the US.

If your inquiry is related to a live project, please get in touch with your AlphaSights point of contact. If you have a general question or comment, please use this form.

We take any breaches of our Code of Conduct or compliance framework seriously and reserve the right to deactivate your profile should we determine that a breach has occurred. Due to our internal policies and systems, we are unable to provide confirmation or details if such a breach took place.
