How long does it take to hire Operations Leadership talent?

Most companies meet pre-screened candidates in about 3 days and can have a contract in hand just as fast. After a 30-minute intro call, our AI finds operators whose past clients and projects match the role, and a dedicated executive recruiter pre-screens each one. There’s no deposit to start sourcing, and from there we move as fast as your interview process.

Is Go Fractional a marketplace or an agency?

Go Fractional is a dedicated fractional executive marketplace, not an agency or a generic freelance platform. Our AI matches on the clients and projects each of our 21,000 operators has worked on, which you won’t find on LinkedIn, to connect you with people who have solved your specific problem before. Our team manages contracts end-to-end without agency markups.

What makes Go Fractional different from a traditional agency?

You work directly with a senior operator who joins your team as a leader, not a vendor handing work to a bench. There are no markups or layers of account management: just a monthly retainer and an operator accountable for outcomes. Our Head of Talent ran executive search at top firms and led talent at Squarespace from early stage through IPO.

Can I hire Operations Leadership talent full-time later?

Yes. Contract-to-hire conversion is available if you want to bring an operator on full time after a fractional engagement. The conversion fee is 20% of first-year salary.

How do you ensure qualified Operations Leadership talent talent?

Operators are vetted before they join our network of 21,000 operators, and their profiles carry testimonials collected on the platform from people they’ve worked with. For your search, our AI shortlists the ones whose past clients and projects match your brief, and a dedicated executive recruiter verifies each candidate’s experience, fit, and genuine interest. That’s why 98% of our placements are the right fit the first time.

We’ve helped hundreds of organizations Go Fractional

Twelve years: the average experience across a network of handpicked executives ready to make an impact on day one.

“It was literally three days after he started with us fractionally, our CEO was calling me and asking if we could get a full-time offer out.”

Victoria AshtonSenior VP of People, Lob

“It's a can't-lose scenario. You either get the learnings from the subject matter expert, or you get the full-time capability. It provided a ton of flexibility, much faster speed to market, and conservation of time and resources.”

Scott DrozdCEO, FCP Euro

“Having someone senior from day one as a founder means you're actually hiring yourself out of a job, not transferring that amount of work to essentially management of someone junior, which can only be as often just as much work or only slightly less work.”
