Fractional & Interim Executive Recruitment Solutions 

Fractional and interim executive roles are strategic solutions to critical leadership needs. Fractional executives like part-time CFOs, CTOs, and CMOs provide ongoing strategic leadership on a limited schedule, ideal for organizations that require experienced department heads but aren't ready for full-time positions. Interim executives are typically engaged on a temporary basis to manage transitions, fill leadership gaps, or lead specific projects. Both offer immediate expertise without long-term commitments, giving your business flexible access to top-tier executive talent.

The Difference: Fractional VS. Interim 

Fractional

Fractional talent typically work on a part-time basis (typically 1-20 hours weekly). 

These arrangements provide access to fractional CFOs, CTOs, CMOs, and other leaders who deliver high-impact expertise without the full-time commitment. Ideal for growing companies, specific initiatives, or organizations seeking specialized leadership without the overhead of permanent executive hires.

Interim

Interim leaders are brought into an organization on a full-time, short-term basis—typically for 3 to 12 months—to fill urgent leadership gaps, manage transitions, or lead high-impact projects.

 Unlike fractional leaders, who work part-time across multiple clients, interim leaders are fully embedded in the business during their assignment, providing hands-on leadership from day one.
