Hi,Can someone please give me some advice on CognoLink and AlphaSights two leading 'expert network' businesses. Which company is better? Does anyone have experience in working for either of these firms? I know that they work with Strategy Consultancies so any insight into these firms and especially which one is better would be helpful.Thanks a lot.

I actually just finished the interview process with AlphaSights NY last week. Unfortunately, I didn't get the offer but did ask that same question. Apparently Alpha is growing and hiring whilst CognoLink had to fire 25 people last year. AlphaSights have a sick office though...very young, very modern. Haven't been to the Cognolink one.

Thanks for your interest in CognoLink, I just wanted to clarify that actually we are hiring... and growing pretty rapidly; we have been around for 5 years now and have gone from strength to strength in that time. In the last few months we've opened new offices in New Delhi and Hong Kong, bringing the total to five across the globe (London, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong & New Delhi) and so far in 2012 we’ve hired more than 30 new employees. We are always looking to add new talent to our team, particularly in our London and New York offices, so if you are interested in a career you can check out our website at www.cognolink.com and/or drop us an email to jobs@cognolink.comThanks.
