How to get accepted at GLG Frontier
Application steps, the assessment and tips from people who got in.
Application steps
- Sign up at membership.glgresearch.com/onboarding/?campaign=glg-frontier
- Connect LinkedIn and describe your expertise
- Complete the compliance/conflict-of-interest tutorial
- Set your hourly rate and accept the terms
- Wait for matched project invites, then answer screening questions
The assessment
There is no test. Each project has its own screening questions, and GLG staff match experts to client requests.
Requirements
Credentialed professionals (PhD, MD, law, finance, engineering, science). Frontier domains include biosecurity, nuclear, mental health, public policy and extreme weather. Must be of legal contracting age.
Tips to get accepted
- Reply to invites fast; GLG says faster responders are more likely to be selected
- Keep your profile and job history current to get more matches
- Set a realistic rate; rates are hard to raise later and GLG is reported to push back on high ones
- Prep time is unpaid; only client-facing time is billed
- Expect irregular work, about 1-2 projects a month for many experts
- Install the GLG for Experts app for push notifications
How long it takes
Irregular. Invites arrive when a client need matches your profile, and experts report being chosen for roughly 1/4-1/3 of invites.
Why people get rejected or stuck
- Screened out by project questions, often without feedback
- Few matches: experts report being picked for about a quarter to a third of invites
- Screening time and prep are unpaid
