Well, an expert network is a platform where businesses can avail the services of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\"> subject matter experts<\/a> on a freelance or on-demand basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go back a few years. The terms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/top-3-most-in-demand-freelance-skills-in-2021\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">\u2018freelance revolution<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018digital nomad\u2019 have been around for as long as a couple of decades, with people exploring alternate work lifestyles in a bid to break the shackles of traditional work schedules. However, the pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns have exponentially accelerated the rise of people exploring this avenue. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/remote-working-in-the-time-of-coronavirus\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">Remote working<\/a> has empowered both businesses and individuals to seek a win-win situation where talent is sought and hired on an on-demand basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s really pertinent here is the fact that the erstwhile gig workers that chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/gig-economy-trends-2021-the-birth-of-an-expert-economy\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">expert network<\/a> route, such as writers and artists, have been joined by people said to belong to the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jonyounger\/2019\/07\/29\/scientists-are-a-new-force-in-the-freelance-revolution-meet-kolabtree\/?sh=72ad34617505&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">Knowledge Economy<\/a>\u2019, such as academics, researchers and scientists. These subject matter experts are making the best possible use of the freelance revolution, offering guidance to companies across various domains, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/product-development?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">product development<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/medical-device-regulatory-consulting?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">regulatory and compliance management<\/a> and marketing strategy, amongst others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>View Kolabtree\u2019s top\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">freelance experts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This development has also seen the emergence of multiple expert network sites, aimed at acting as the ultimate liaison between experts and businesses. These networks typically have a large roster of experts across the globe, each skilled at a particular domain, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/medical-writing?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">medical writing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/food-science-and-technology?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">food science<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/data-analysis?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">data analysis<\/a> or product consultation. Businesses looking for on-demand expertise either post their requirements and receive quotes from experts, or directly contact a freelancer from those listed on these expert networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re a business looking to hire, or an expert looking to offer your services, here\u2019s a list of the best expert networks in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolabtree\"><\/span><b>Kolabtree<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kolabtree offers a simple open user platform, enabling clients to post projects or contact subject matter experts directly for their business needs. Although catering mainly to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/biotechnology?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\"> biotech<\/a>, pharma and medtech companies, the platform\u2019s success stories also include other domains such as food science, material science etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform\u2019s USP is its ability to connect clients with very niche expertise, such as when vegan startup Peggs managed to find a food consultant that could help them launch a new \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/freelance-scientist-on-kolabtree-helps-entrepreneur-bring-vegan-eggs-to-market\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">vegan egg\u2019<\/a> product. The platform also offers access to a variety of other experts, such as medical writers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/biostatistics?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">biostatisticians<\/a> and data analysts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span><b>Pros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The obvious advantages to using this expert network is cost-cutting, and access to a wide range of global experts. As the world\u2019s largest platform for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">freelance scientists<\/a>, Kolabtree has the world\u2019s top industry experts within its network, such as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/ahmed-elewa-scientific-freelancer-and-covid-19-startup-founder\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\"> co-founders of companies working in the Covid-19 space<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/spotlight-freelance-medical-content-writer-victoria-ware\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">freelancers who have worked with the NHS<\/a> and the Medical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/ensuring-reproducibility-in-ai-driven-research-how-freelance-experts-can-help-in-biotech-and-healthcare\/\">Research<\/a> Council.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from a money back guarantee if the client is not satisfied, Kolabtree also operates on a no-minimum contract model, which means clients can consult the freelancers on a very flexible and on-demand basis. These factors make it a great expert network to obtain value for money, test ideas and also get in-depth counsel to take products to market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the biggest USP of the platform is undoubtedly its assurance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/3-ways-kolabtree-guarantees-data-security-whilst-hiring-freelancers\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">confidentiality<\/a>, with clients able to request freelancers to sign NDAs protecting their intellectual property. This makes Kolabtree the ideal expert network to approach in order to obtain consultation for niche ideas that are still in the works before being processed into a product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span><b>Cons<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only downside for freelancers is the competition, as penning the right response to a project could spell the difference between landing it or missing out to another expert. For clients, narrowing down on the right expert from a global network of PhD qualified experts can be a challenge. However, drafting a precise project description could be the first step, and Kolabtree also helps by ranking their freelancers based on various factors, such as degree of activity and previous projects completed, to give clients the best possible chance of evaluating the experts before the final hire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict\"><\/span><b>Verdict<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a client looking for a cost-effective solution, and don\u2019t mind coming through a large number of proposals to narrow down on the ideal expert,\u00a0 Kolabtree\u2019s global network of scientists can pretty much cover most of your niche business requirements. The diverse range of experts, ranging from medical writers to clinical trial consultants, cater to a large number of industries such as biotech and pharma, and the company\u2019s foolproof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/7-tips-to-protect-your-ip-while-working-with-a-freelancer?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">security guarantee<\/a> is a major advantage over several other platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GuidePoint\"><\/span><b>GuidePoint<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guidepoint has a slightly different working model than traditional freelance expert networks. Instead of enabling clients to contact subject matter experts directly, Guidepoint acts as an active middleman, connecting clients with advisors on their platform. These advisors in turn act as consultants to the clients, offering their insights into the specific business case the client is enquiring about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-2\"><\/span><b>Pros<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The obvious advantage for businesses is that Guidepoint acts as a concierge in the transaction, facilitating end-to-end conversations with an expert matching the requirements posted by the client. The platform ensures that it provides the client myriad options, drawing up a sufficient pool of relevant experts the clients can choose from. Although they have a large number of advisors on their platform, they are not averse to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consultancy.com.au\/news\/3817\/leading-global-expert-network-guidepoint-launches-in-australia?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">branching out<\/a> on other platforms, such as LinkedIn, to ensure the clients contact experts most suited to their requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-2\"><\/span><b>Cons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, clients have sometimes raised concerns about the high costs of the advisors on the platform, with the high-end experts charging hundreds of dollars per hour for a quick phone consultation. This might not be the best option for small or medium sized firms, but big companies looking for elite consultations on business strategies will definitely gain value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For subject matter experts themselves, it can be a bit of a challenge obtaining projects frequently. However, the ones that do have the potential to earn big, even as much as hundreds of dollars for a phone consultation on anything from industry strategy to offering counsel on a detailed strategy for business growth. The flip side, however, is the fact that Guidepoint has almost a million advisors on their platform, and landing projects consistently might be tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/expertopportunities.com\/guidepoint-review\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">Reviews<\/a> point to Guidepoint being a mixed bag for now, with their model of taking on the concierge model resulting in cases where consultants feel they are not exactly being paired with relevant clients and projects. This is emphasised in cases where advisors are asked to answer extensive questions to see if they fit the project, but are not compensated if they don\u2019t. However, these are balanced out by cases where advisors are matched with relevant projects, giving them a chance to offer relevant expertise in exchange for a sizable monetary compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict-2\"><\/span><b>Verdict<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like with any expert network platform, the sector in which the clients operate is the deciding factor. With finances, healthcare and CGS being the main industries clients consult for on the platform, experts operating in these domains are likely to get more consistent projects on Guidepoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catalant\"><\/span><b>Catalant<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalant occupies a very similar niche as Kolabtree, offering businesses access to a global expert network that they can assess and hire for counsel and intel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-3\"><\/span><b>Pros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalant emphasises the \u2018independent consultant\u2019 approach, bringing out each individual\u2019s unique background on their website, enabling clients to grasp the expert\u2019s history before deciding to hire them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalant\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/advertising-industry-freelance-staffing-platforms-getting-investment-2021-8?IR=T&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">expert marketplace<\/a> provides clients access to over 70,000 independent consultants, giving clients enough options to choose from.

It has its niches too, with corporate strategy, business development and product marketing consultants sought after more than others on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For freelancers, Catalant can be a great platform to make money, since it brings in significantly richer companies to its platform than traditional alternatives like Upwork. For clients, Catalant\u2019s use of specialized algorithms to recommend freelancers can help them save significant time and effort to find the perfect expert, especially if you\u2019re looking for a broad-level consultant in corporate strategy or sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-3\"><\/span><b>Cons<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, finding truly niche experts might be a challenge on the platform, and you\u2019re better off looking at more exclusive platforms for those skills. Another sticking point could be the platform\u2019s rule that a client and freelancers cannot work together again for a certain period of time upon project completion, leading to hurdles if the client wants to rehire the same freelancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict-3\"><\/span><b>Verdict<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For clients falling into the niche that Catalant\u2019s experts occupy, the platform can be a delight to use, with its large expert network and algorithm-driven matching process. If you\u2019re after esoteric experts, however, you\u2019re better off looking at more exclusive networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PreScouter\"><\/span><b>PreScouter<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PreScouter comes with a brilliant yet tragic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prescouter.com\/tragedy-unearths-lost-invention\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_term=ExpertNetwork\">backstory<\/a>. In 2008, over 300,000 babies were affected by tainted milk samples, whilst the technology that could have prevented that was enclosed in a university lab. PreScouter was subsequently formed to prevent knowledge from being locked up, and ensures that its global network of scientists and engineers help business leaders make crucial strategic decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-4\"><\/span><b>Pros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than an expert network, PreScouter can be viewed as an open \u2018think-tank\u2019 platform that connects scholars and researchers from universities to real-world projects. Comprehensive reports are generated at the end of each project, with the company\u2019s aim being bringing innovations from universities to the real world, as products that benefit society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-4\"><\/span><b>Cons<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the company\u2019s Global scholars program has come in for criticism in the past from freelancers, mainly for its modus operandi of picking grad students\u2019 brains in exchange for making them \u2018job ready\u2019 with no actual monetary compensation, which the company has since revised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict-4\"><\/span><b>Verdict<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For clients, the platform is very useful if you\u2019re looking to test ideas or are after some external guidance from post-docs and university scholars on an affordable basis. It might not be the best place to look for detailed consultations, in terms of technical, regulatory or product development consultations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clora\"><\/span><b>Clora<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clora caters specifically to the life science community, instantly looking to carve out a niche to set itself apart from other expert networks. Their experts range from biochemists and biostatisticians to clinical project managers, covering a wide range of life science expertise required by their prospective clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clora follows the conventional approach, asking clients to post a detailed project before matching them with a wide pool of expertise. With an aim to serve a global range of biotech and pharma clients, Clora recently acquired Legit.ai, a Massachusetts-based organization that developed a natural language processing engine which analyses thousands of publications and profiles in order to narrow down on the right expert for each requirement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-5\"><\/span><b>Pros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform is simple to use and highly effective for small businesses to find multiple services from thousands of experts.

While this is to make sure their experts are vetted carefully, it might not be a practical solution if the project is bound by time constraints, or if that level of screening is not required for that particular project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict-5\"><\/span><b>Verdict<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple and neat platform for life science companies to look at for unique projects, but might not be practical for recurring projects that need to be completed quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comatch\"><\/span><b>Comatch<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comatch follows a similar marketplace model to most expert networks, matching small and medium enterprises to industry experts most suited to their requirements.

In addition, Comatch also proposes consultant teams as well as interim managers, encouraging clients that use their services to tap into some sort of hybrid work teams. Clients can use this remote expertise to solve internal business problems. The platform aims to make it really easy for clients to find the right expert, by simply asking them to fill a form in order to send them matching expert profiles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-6\"><\/span><b>Cons<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this might be a downside for clients that prefer to browse for the right expert themselves, trawling through a wide range of options before narrowing down on the right fit.
