Frequently Asked Questions
What are expert calls?
Expert calls are direct, one-on-one consultations that connect you with professionals who possess deep, first-hand experience in a specific field. These structured conversations allow you to bypass static research and engage with specialized practitioners who provide perspective on complex topics across industries and geographies.
What can I use expert network calls for?
Expert calls are often used throughout the research lifecycle to pressure-test hypotheses and uncover nuanced market realities. Direct conversations allow clients to dive deeper, ask follow-up questions, and develop proprietary insights.
How does GLG find and match experts for my research?
We combine our proprietary technology with a specialized service team to identify the most relevant matches for your specific questions.
- AI-Powered Matching: Our system analyzes 25+ years of proprietary data to surface experts with the precise background you require.
- Global Service Teams: Our client-aligned teams work around the clock to custom-recruit for niche topics and manage the logistics of your engagement.
- Self-Service Tools: Through the myGLG portal, you can also search our network directly, filter by specific criteria, and compare professional profiles at your own pace.
What happens after I have a GLG expert call?
Clients can choose to have every call generate an AI-powered transcript and summary. For those who do not wish to have original transcripts surfaced, the transcripts can be purged and replaced by AI generated summaries.
You can request a written follow-up from the expert, and use myGLG's synthesis tools to surface patterns across multiple call transcripts.
Transcript hold features are available for compliance teams that need to review content before release.
How does GLG manage compliance and confidentiality during expert calls?
Prior to joining a call, every expert must complete a mandatory compliance screening and agree to strict confidentiality policies. GLG also sets the standard for compliance and expert verification processes. We conduct a screening process that checks against a variety of measures, including:
- Relevant experience for project fit
- Identity verification and checks against third-party data sources
- Proprietary behavioral data
Our software is purpose-built to enable specific client compliance protocols for expert calls.
You can learn more about GLG’s compliance framework here.
Are my GLG expert calls shared across GLG’s transcript library?
No - GLG never publishes transcripts of its clients’ one-to-one consultations with experts. The GLG library does include more than 20,000 transcripts screened by GLG’s global compliance-trained professionals, event replays, webcasts, and other types of content.
Can I use an AI moderator to conduct expert calls at scale?
Yes, GLG offers AI moderated expert calls. Our AI Moderator runs structured, conversational expert interviews that probe for nuance and stay strictly on-topic — so your team can focus on insights, not logistics.
