What is ExpertFuze?
To employers, ExpertFuze is a website that allows employers to find experts quickly and easily without paying an ongoing hourly rate to the search service. Employers can pre-screen the experts through ExpertConnect and only pay for the experts they want.
Who are your clients?
The ExpertFuze database and manual search may be used by anyone. Experts are hired by businesses, law firms, and other individuals.
How does ExpertFuze make money?
As an employer, when you are searching the site, you will be only shown limited CV views. When you decide to contact an expert, you can purchase to view that expert’s contact information and a full view of that expert’s CV. Don’t forget that you can pre-screen experts through ExpertConnect and only pay for the experts you want.
How does ExpertFuze find its experts?
Generally, experts will find us. We will actively recruit people who may be experts to submit a CV to the site, but all CVs must undergo a formal verification (see below).
What are the criteria for becoming an ExpertFuze Expert?
Due to each potential expert’s unique education, work history, experiences, challenges, assignments, no two experts are the same. Therefore, different criteria will apply to each potential expert. Some experts will be professors with numerous research articles. Some experts will have 30+ years industry experience utilizing the same skill. An ExpertFuze expert will typically have several of the following qualifications:
- High-level educational degrees
- Extensive industry experience in their area of expertise
- Authored papers, books, articles in their area of expertise
- Recognition by peers as being an expert
- Experience testifying in court on the subject
How does verification work?
In step one of the verification process, the ExpertFuze team of engineers and lawyers will examine CVs to determine if a particular CV will be:
- Made public on expertfuze.com, but listed in an “unverified” state;
- Temporality disallowed for having an incomplete CV; or
- Immediately rejected.
In step two of the verification process, the ExpertFuze team of engineers and lawyers will formally verify the credentials and skills of the “unverified” CVs. Expert CVs that pass this process will be listed as “Verified”.

What is ExpertConnect?
ExpertConnect is an anonymous messaging system moderated by ExpertFuze that allows employers to ask experts questions before purchasing their contact information.

When the expert is available, the expert will respond to your question and hopefully you will have the information you need to determine whether or not to purchase the expert. Currently, there is no limit to the number of questions you may ask.
