The Researcher Council is a unique opportunity for a group of recognized Researchers to help shape the overall Bugcrowd Researcher experience. By providing their insight and feedback on a range of topics and opportunities, including upcoming platform designs & improvements, the council has direct input on researcher-focused programs.
A Council member serves for a period of six months, though they may re-invited to participate with the Council for successive periods of time. Each Researcher's candidacy is thoroughly reviewed by the Researcher Success team, and while there is no specific equation to become a Council member, some of the evaluation criteria include overall Platform/program activity within the last year, demographics (especially geographical representation!), and historical communication with both Bugcrowd & Program Owners alike. Current Council members receive the same review consideration when their membership is up for renewal.
