Just received an email for an “expert interview” from Zintro who said they’ll pay me for my time. Is this legit? Has anyone seen these before? I’m gobsmacked that anyone would consider a consultant an expert so I couldn’t move past that lol

They are legit - basically a lower cost lower quality expert network who sources online. Used them before and they seem to reach out to anyone who remotely fits the description, whether they would be useful or not

Not from Zintro but I had a similar company reach out to me on LinkedIn to consult for a few hours for a client of theirs in my area. I think it is common / legit.

Lol they just emailed me too and honestly it just sounds so shady. Like they want me to answer 3 questions first?

I suspect they want you as an “expert” on consulting. IE, if someone is looking for insider information for how your firm is organized.

Not that hard to be an expert on your own firm.

Also, consultants see many different companies, and can have good examples of what works and doesn’t. Would qualify them as an expert in my book.

Still status is showing in progress.
