How is Fractional First different from an Executive Search firm?
At Fractional First, we stand apart from traditional Executive Search firms in several key ways:
Operational Experience: We don’t come from Executive Search roots. We are ex-operators, CEOs, and board directors who have successfully led and scaled entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial ventures.
Pre-Qualified Talent Pool: We meticulously curate our talent pool based on hard skills, soft skills, and mindset, ensuring they are ready to deliver immediate value.
Community and Learning: We foster communities of high-performance leaders where knowledge-sharing and mutual learning thrive, enriching both our talent pool and client organizations.
Long-Term Relationships: We prioritize building enduring relationships with our talent and client organizations, focusing on sustained mutual growth and success.
Supportive Journey: We support our fractional talent throughout their journey, providing ongoing guidance and resources to maximize their impact. We tend to shy away from transactional situationships.
Fee Structure: Our fees are shared between the fractional talent and client organizations, easing financial burdens while enhancing value for all stakeholders.
Strategic Partnership: We develop close relationships with our clients, offering insights into leadership team dynamics, strengths, and blind spots. This analysis helps enhance overall team performance and address specific gaps proactively beyond immediate hiring needs.
