What is fractional talent acquisition?

Fractional talent acquisition is senior TA leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis. Instead of hiring a full-time head of talent, a company brings in an experienced leader for a set number of hours per month to run the function, fix what is broken, and build something the internal team can sustain.

What does a fractional head of talent do?

The same work a full-time head of talent would do, at a fraction of the hours. Setting hiring strategy, leading and coaching recruiters, designing the interview process, selecting and implementing recruiting technology, and reporting on the metrics that matter. It is embedded work, not a deck and a departure.

How quickly can an engagement start?

Usually within two weeks of a signed agreement.
