No, Dialectica is not a scam. It is a globally recognised information services firm that connects business leaders, consultants, and investors with subject-matter experts and proprietary insights. We work with thousands of trusted organisations worldwide, including many of the world’s leading professional services and investment firms. Dialectica has also been recognised by the Financial Times and Statista as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies for five consecutive years.

Dialectica operates in a niche industry — expert insights and information services — that isn’t widely understood by the general public. Occasionally, our outreach process or screening calls for expert consultations are misinterpreted, especially by those unfamiliar with how our expert matching model works. Here’s how it works: when we identify a project where your expertise may be relevant, one of our Associates will contact you by phone or email to ask a few qualifying questions. If it’s a good fit, you’ll receive our official Terms of Engagement, a calendar invite for the expert interaction, and — after the client call is completed — a secure payment form. Experts are paid via direct bank transfer within 10 days. Some online confusion stems from verifying whether outreach is genuinely from Dialectica. We always encourage experts to confirm the legitimacy of the contact by checking the associate’s official email address or reaching out to us directly. While we can’t control how third-party forums interpret or label our outreach, we are actively working to clarify how our model works and continue to improve transparency at every stage of the expert experience.

No, Dialectica is not a pyramid scheme. We are a global information services firm that connects investment, consulting, and corporate clients with subject-matter experts to support strategic decision-making. Unlike pyramid or multi-level marketing schemes, Dialectica’s business model does not rely on recruitment for financial gain. Our revenue is generated through client engagements — not through hiring or incentivising employees to recruit others. Our teams grow through a structured hiring process, and career progression is based on performance, not on bringing others into the company.

Yes, Dialectica is a legitimate global information services firm. Founded in 2015, we employ thousands of professionals worldwide and offer a hybrid work environment across all locations. Dialectica partners with leading consulting firms, investment teams, and corporate strategists to deliver expert insights and research. Our legitimacy is further supported by industry recognition: we have been named one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies by the Financial Times and Statista for five consecutive years. Our continued growth is driven by client trust, operational transparency, and our commitment to high-quality service.

Dialectica is an information services firm that partners with consulting, corporate, and investment clients to help them make better, faster business and investment decisions. Clients engage us to access tailored, high-quality insights from industry experts through calls, surveys, and other on-demand research formats. We charge our clients per expert interaction or through subscription-based access to our products. Experts are never charged to participate — they are carefully selected for relevance and are compensated for their time and insights.

Not at all. While outreach is a core part of the role — including cold outreach via phone and email — it’s not sales in the traditional sense. As a member of Dialectica’s Client Service Team (CST), your goal is to identify and engage highly relevant subject-matter experts for specific client projects. These projects are often time-sensitive and strategically important, and your outreach enables consultants, investors, and corporate teams to access insights they couldn’t find elsewhere. You’re not selling a product — you’re facilitating access to high-value expertise. The role requires commercial acumen, project management, and clear communication under pressure.

Yes, Dialectica offers a strong foundation for high-performing individuals looking to build a career in business, strategy, technology, or professional services.

We also offer career opportunities in our Product, Engineering, Data, and Corporate teams, where you can help shape the future of insights-on-demand through cutting-edge technology and scalable solutions. Career progression is performance-based, and our hybrid model, training programmes, and coaching culture create a strong platform for professional growth.

Dialectica’s culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and performance-driven — shaped by a shared mission to become the #1 insights provider globally. With a team of over 1,400 professionals from 60+ nationalities, we foster a diverse and inclusive environment grounded in our four core values: Growth Mindset, Teamwork, Ownership, and Respect. We prioritise open communication, regular feedback, and accelerated professional development. Whether you're engaging with global clients, collaborating cross-functionally, or contributing to new product launches, Dialectica offers a high-impact environment where ambition, curiosity, and accountability are celebrated.

Yes. Entry-level roles at Dialectica offer accelerated skill development, exposure to global clients, and the opportunity to take ownership from day one. Many team members go on to pursue successful careers in consulting, business strategy, and other professional services — equipped with strong foundations in client management, research, and commercial acumen.

The hiring process typically includes an initial phone screen with a member of our Talent Acquisition team, followed by one or two competency-based interviews and a task-based or case study assessment. We aim to complete the full process within 2–3 weeks from the time of application.

Yes, Dialectica offers a hybrid work environment. While many roles involve in-office collaboration to support fast-paced teamwork and learning, we provide hybrid flexibility depending on the location, team, and role. Our model combines the benefits of in-person connection with the adaptability of remote work.

Yes. Compensation at Dialectica includes a competitive base salary, a structured monthly performance bonus, and clear opportunities for career progression and internal mobility across teams and geographies.

Absolutely. Dialectica promotes based on merit, and many of our Senior Managers and Vice Presidents started in entry-level roles and advanced quickly through performance and ownership. We also support internal mobility across teams and functions, and encourage transfers between our offices around the world — from Athens and London to Montreal, Ho Chi Minh City, and beyond.

As with many high-growth companies, not all roles suit everyone. We strive to support each employee’s development and continuously improve based on internal and external feedback.

We are a UK entity and therefore we do not issue tax forms for other countries. We can provide our self-billing invoices if needed.

Yes. All experts who complete a consultation with a client are compensated for their time. Payment is typically calculated based on an agreed hourly rate, which reflects your seniority and professional experience. Please note that screening calls — which are short, introductory calls with a Dialectica Associate — are not compensated. These calls help us determine whether your expertise aligns with a specific project before a client consultation is arranged. Once a project is confirmed and scheduled, you will receive Terms of Engagement, a calendar invite, and a payment form following the interaction. Payments are processed via direct bank transfer, usually within 10 business days after the consultation.

Dialectica is an expert network and information services firm. We connect consulting firms, investment funds, and corporate teams with vetted subject-matter experts to provide high-quality, niche, and hard-to-find insights that support strategic decision-making. While Dialectica began as a traditional expert network, we have evolved into an information services firm — offering access to expert calls, B2B surveys, proprietary research, and a growing suite of technology-enabled solutions. Our services help clients evaluate markets, test assumptions, explore acquisition targets, and refine strategy with confidence.

Dialectica stands out through our focus on quality, speed, and custom recruitment. Unlike many firms that rely heavily on pre-existing databases, we tailor each expert search to the specific needs of our clients — ensuring more relevant, updated and high-quality insights. Our in-house technology, training, and team structure are built to support custom expert sourcing at scale, allowing us to deliver faster and more precisely than traditional or database-led models. We also invest heavily in professional development and operational excellence to ensure our clients — and experts — have a superior experience from start to finish.

While client names are confidential, they include top strategy consultancies, global investment firms, and Fortune 500 companies across industries like healthcare, tech, energy, and finance.
