Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of fractional expertise?
There are many benefits, but our research tells us these are the most important:
-
You can access executive knowledge without paying a FTE salary
-
You can access expertise across the C-suite domains without committing to additional headcount
-
Speed to value without an 18 month recruitment process
-
Dialing time up and down time as required
-
Your expert remains entirely project focused without the distraction of daily minutiae that reduces productivity
-
Your expert retains objectivity that allows a strategic perspective.
Is fractional expertise a new thing?
Whilst our experts have been working in this way for a long time, the broader world of business is starting to understand the advantages of the fractional model. Forbes reported in Jul 2023 that business “can access top-tier talent without long-term financial commitments and minimize overhead costs”. We believe this will be a game changer for business.
How do you match me with an executive?
We use a proprietary FIT tool that assesses a range of criteria to evaluate who matches your business best. We look at Expertise, their core skills. We look at Experience, knowledge of sector. We look at Culture, their psychographic fit. We look at Cost, the tier of leadership. We look at the maturity of businesses they’ve worked with from pre-revenue to established.
What makes a great fractional executive?
We collect unicorns. To do that, we have harnessed the knowledge of vastly experienced HR leaders and sifted through a variety of models. We nestled on 4H; Horsepower, Happy, Humble, Hungry. Every executive on the platform has been vetted for their Expertise, Experience and their 4Hs. Because we understand great business requires the perfect blend of hard and soft skills.
Why should I engage an expert through the platform?
Expert Fit connects you with the right advice and the right experts, but we don’t stop there. We provide project management by checking in quarterly to ensure your expert is proceeding well. And in the event you or your expert are not enjoying the work together, we can provide you with an alternative expert, or an additional expert if you are stretching into new areas. That’s not all. We indemnify the work done through our platform.
How much does it cost?
We have two charge models:
-
A one-off executive workshop. We agree the number of executives required to get the right range of perspectives in the session and define the problem. This charge depends on the number of, and the seniority of the attendees.
-
A tiered fixed hourly rate. This rate depends on the level of seniority of the expert you are working with.
How long does it take?
A matter of hours. We can convene an expert workshop to your availability. And share a list of experts who fit your requirements. We are working towards live features on the website that will do this live time. We can’t wait to offer you immediate solutions!
What stage is Expert Fit at?
We are months young. We have got a front door open to join our Early Stage Experts, but we are looking for clients and candidates to join us on this journey. In time, our platform will facilitate live time matching, and onboarding acceleration. In time, it will have a range of AI tools to further accelerate our experts with their work.
