How hiring works here
Hire fractional executives for part of the week
Fractional means part time. A fractional executive is a senior leader who works for you some days a week or some days a month, not full time. They often work with other companies too.
We find senior leaders for companies that need them part of the week, for a fixed period, or on a trial before a full-time hire. You tell us who you need. We send you the people who fit. You get one agreement and one invoice from us.
Sending a requirement is free, and there is no deposit. You pay only when someone starts. If you are ready, send your requirement now.
Tell us the role and the hours. We send you a shortlist of people who fit.

Talent from anywhere, hired remotely
Most fractional work is remote, so the right person does not have to live near you. We have pages for the countries and cities where we look for people, from India and Vietnam to Poland and the United States.
If the person needs to be in a certain country or time zone, say so in your requirement. We will only shortlist people who fit.

FAQ
Questions companies ask
What does it cost to hire through you?
There is no deposit. Sending a requirement and talking to the people we send cost nothing. You pay only when someone starts, on terms agreed with us in writing first. The fees page explains it in full.
Which roles can I hire for?
Leadership roles: chief AI officer, CTO, CPO or CPTO, CISO or CSO, CFO, CMO and COO. Fractional, part-time, interim or on a trial before a full-time hire. If your role is close to these but not on the list, send your requirement anyway. You can also hire hands-on AI engineers, as forward deployed engineers or fractional AI engineers.
Does a fractional executive work set days?
It depends on the work. Tell us roughly the time you expect it to take, even if you are not sure, and we will shortlist people who can give that time.
Do I have to hire someone from the shortlist?
No. If nobody on the shortlist is right, tell us why and we will keep looking, or you can stop there. You pay nothing unless someone starts.
Can the person work in our time zone?
Tell us the hours you need them to overlap with you when you send your requirement. We only shortlist people whose location and hours fit.
