How do I get more consultation requests?

OnFrontiers experts receive consultation requests through two main paths:

1. Direct customer requests via the OnFrontiers platform.

When a customer creates an Expert Request that matches your profile, you'll get an email and SMS with the invitation link. You can accept, decline, or ask clarifying questions before committing.

2. Curated outreach by the OnFrontiers research team.

For high-priority customer projects, our research team will reach out to specific experts they think fit the brief. These outreach emails come from @onfrontiers.com addresses and contain a direct link to the opportunity.

How to get more requests:

• Complete your profile — bio, experience, expertise tags, hourly rate, LinkedIn URL, professional photo, CV. Profiles missing any of these get fewer matches.
• Set a competitive hourly rate — rates in the $100–250 range are most likely to be selected. Significantly higher rates are sometimes booked for niche expertise.
• Answer industry-specific questions during registration — these power our matching algorithm. The more specific your answers, the better the matches.
• Stay responsive — experts who respond to requests within a few hours get prioritized in future matches.
• Keep your availability accurate — if you're traveling or unavailable for a stretch, update your profile.

If you haven't received any requests yet:

This is normal. Demand varies by industry, region, and time of year. Customer projects often come in bursts, so don't be surprised if you go weeks between requests. If it's been more than 60 days, double-check that your profile is complete and that your expertise tags match active client demand areas.
