NEW YORK – Go Fractional, a leading platform for specialized leadership talent, has officially launched its public Fractional Job Board. The move marks a significant expansion for the company, which has spent the last two years operating as an internal network, and aims to capitalize on a shifting labor market where “fractional” work is becoming a strategic staple for startups and scale-ups.
A Curated Marketplace for the “Top 5%”
Unlike traditional job sites, the Fractional Job Board is highly selective. Since its internal pilot, the company has crawled and analyzed over 5,000 potential roles, but only the top 5% are showcased to ensure they meet the criteria for “strategic engagements.” These roles are typically longer-term, high-impact positions—such as Fractional CFOs, CTOs, and Heads of Sales—rather than short-term freelance gigs.
“The Job Board gives executives access to more projects and leadership roles,” said Jonathan Grana, CEO and Co-founder of Go Fractional. “It’s essential to our next phase, expanding the talent community and connecting companies to even more experienced leaders.”
Bridging the Gap in a Shifting Economy
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for the white-collar workforce. As large tech companies continue to navigate layoffs and restructuring, a massive pool of seasoned talent has entered the market. Simultaneously, startups facing capital constraints are increasingly wary of the $300,000+ price tags associated with full-time C-suite hires.
Go Fractional reports that it has already facilitated over $10 million in income for its network of 7,000+ professionals. By hiring “fractionally,” companies can secure the expertise of a veteran leader for 10 to 20 hours a week, often saving up to 60% in compensation costs compared to a full-time executive.
Key Features of the New Board
- Vetted Opportunities: Every listing is reviewed to ensure it represents a true leadership or strategic role.
- Transparency: Professionals can filter listings by hourly rate (with a minimum baseline of $80/hour), location, and specific tech stacks.
- Confidential Matching: Internal opportunities are anonymized to protect company privacy, while public roles aggregated by Go Fractional’s system provide full transparency of the hiring entity.
- Bridge to Full-Time: Many listed roles are designed as “interim-to-perm” paths, allowing both the executive and the company to test the fit before committing to a permanent hire.
Industry Impact
The rise of the fractional model is being hailed as a “win-win” in the post-pandemic era. Victoria Ashton, Chief People Officer at Lob, noted that the platform has given the company access to talent that “wasn’t even the case four or five years ago.”
As the “gig economy” moves up the corporate ladder, Go Fractional’s new board positions itself as the primary infrastructure for this new class of “portfolio career” executives.
