To get private invites at Bugcrowd, researchers must stay active on the platform by hunting, making submissions, and getting paid. The CrowdMatch system automatically curates crowds based on criteria such as researcher skill sets, interests, and availability, and rewards active researchers with more private invites. By submitting valid reports and getting paid, researchers increase their eligibility for private invites and show impact to maximize their inbox activity. Even new or inactive researchers can get back into the hunt by making submissions and showing their skills, and staying informed about future opportunities through Bugcrowd's Twitter, Discord, and blog posts.
