    Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG) - Any experience

    Anyone heard of, looked in to or used GLG . IT?

    Looks like some kind of professional network of people to match to clients, possibly a bit like a professional people per hour thing? I've been referred but I see it's $100 for the referee if I get some work through the platform which tends to start the warning bells.

    Anyone any experience or knows what this setup is about please?

      I had two invites from them in Aug 2018 and Oct 2019. Compared to many of the other similar requests I get via LinkedIn, these two actually seemed to line up well with some of my past experience and clients. Their website mentions they had been featured in Fast Company magazine and it looks like that was true - it's a respectable magazine too so perhaps a legit request overall.

        Had a linkedin message from them yesterday. They made an offer of a paid interview. Can't be arsed to see whether it's legit or not so have ignored. Being permie, I'm no doubt bound by confidentiality agreements etc on what they want to talk about.

          Which is a very good point, whether you're a perm or contractor.

            I got an invite via LinkedIn for another 'research interview' on privileged access management (not GLG.)

            Usually when I get these, it's $100-200. Today it was the princely sum of $20.
