Exec Capital is delighted to announce the expansion of its fractional team, now offering tailored recruitment solutions for a vast range of executive positions. Building on the success of its fractional CEO roles introduced in 2023, which aimed to democratise access to top-tier professionals for start-ups and SMEs, the initiative now encompasses a wider array of C-suite roles, including CMOs and CFOs.
Positioned at the forefront of the executive recruitment arena, Exec Capital is catering to the escalating demand for flexible employment options among both job seekers and companies.
The agency provides a personalised hiring service, complete with a comprehensive suite of recruitment solutions, ranging from targeted executive searches to the headhunting of niche roles. This allows for the appointment of C-suite executives on a fractional basis, from one to four days per week, under both short-term and long-term arrangements. This level of flexibility is particularly advantageous for businesses undergoing significant growth or those seeking an economical route to enhance their executive cadre.
Research has revealed a 20% growth in the appointment of fractional executives from 2022 to 2023, a trend that is anticipated to continue. The gravitation towards part-time and fractional roles is contributing to a more balanced work-life scenario for executives. Fractional hiring provides businesses with access to top-tier talent whilst mitigating the risk of executive burnout.
Fractional executives are offered with the flexibility of no long-term commitments, enabling businesses to test candidates before deciding on a permanent role. Industries across the spectrum are increasingly leveraging fractional hiring as a cost-effective strategy to attract skilled professionals. This approach is useful for bridging skill gaps or covering for employees on leave.
For individuals moving between industries, fractional recruitment for C-suite positions offers a unique opportunity to accrue experience in specific roles, catering to professionals from non-conventional backgrounds. Exec Capital has observed an increase in the number of professionals transitioning between fields and specialities.
The concept of the ‘fractional executive’ resonates not only with those on an upward career trajectory but also with experienced professionals seeking greater flexibility and new ventures in the later stages of their careers.
