For Experts & Advisors
Everything you need to know about consulting with Mosaic — how we found you, how engagements work, and how you get paid.
Mosaic Research is an expert network and primary research firm. We facilitate 30–60 minute telephone consulting engagements between our clients — institutional investors and management consultancies — and experts across all industries and geographies.
We use a variety of methods to source experts, including online searches, news articles, and other public sources. If we reached out, it's because your background matched a specific, live research project.
Information — our clients are some of the most savvy investors and researchers in the world; hear their take on your industry.
Relationships — build relationships with knowledgeable decision-makers with an active interest in your area of expertise.
Compensation — for paid engagements, set your own hourly or project-based consulting fee.
Nothing. There is no cost for an expert to join the network or to consult.
A client submits a project request; we search our network and beyond for prospective experts; we vet candidates by phone and email; we schedule a consultation at a mutually convenient time; the call happens; you get paid. That's the whole loop.
Opportunities are invitation-led. Selection isn't guaranteed — engagements depend on the industry focus and the specifics of each client project.
It varies. Some projects are time-sensitive and need your earliest availability; others are scheduled over a wider window.
A phone call. Our client asks you questions related to their research project.
An onboarding specialist will speak with you first (a brief, unpaid vetting conversation). Paid consultations are conducted by the client directly.
Calls normally last 45–60 minutes. Anything beyond 60 minutes is paid on a prorated basis.
Typically, no preparation is required. If a project does call for any, Mosaic will let you know before the call.
No. You can decline the recording question on the compliance screener.
You set your hourly rate, and compensation is prorated to the actual length of the call. After a completed consultation, Mosaic provides invoicing instructions, and payment follows by check, wire/ACH, or PayPal.
