Frequently asked questions about fractional executives and FraCXOhire

FraCXOhire is a platform for hiring vetted fractional and interim leaders across 99 roles, from CEO, CFO, and CTO to Chief of Staff and board advisors. It serves companies worldwide and is operated by Fracxohire Private Limited, headquartered in Bangalore. Companies describe a mandate, use AI-assisted search to shortlist executives, and run the contract, weekly timesheets, and payments through the platform.

A fractional executive is an experienced senior leader who works part-time for several companies instead of full-time for one. You get C-suite or VP-level judgement, for example from a CFO, CTO, or CMO, on a fixed number of hours per week, for a defined mandate, without a full-time executive hire.

FraCXOhire covers 99 leadership roles across 12 functions: executive management (CEO, COO, Chief of Staff), strategy, finance and legal (CFO, General Counsel), marketing, sales and revenue (CMO, CRO), product and engineering (CPO, CTO), operations, customer success, people (CHRO), risk and security (CISO), specialised interim roles, and board-level advisors.

No. FraCXOhire is headquartered in Bangalore and works with companies and executives worldwide, in person or remotely. Contracts can be set in eight currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AED, SGD, AUD, and CAD.

Most fractional mandates on FraCXOhire run at roughly 5 to 20 hours per week. The hours per week are part of the contract terms and can be changed by proposing new terms on the platform.

FraCXOhire is designed around outcome-first mandates of 30 to 90 days, such as building a financial model before a fundraise, setting up a marketing engine, or fixing a sales process. Mandates can be renewed or extended when the work continues.

Yes. A common use is bringing in a fractional CXO to design the function, hire the first managers, and set operating cadence while the company scales, then hand over to a full-time leader or the team they built.

Hire full-time when the function needs a leader every day, when the role carries a permanent statutory or board responsibility that must sit with an employee, or when the work is no longer a defined mandate. FraCXOhire is built for part-time, mandate-based engagements, not permanent placements.

Companies typically see a shortlist of matching executives within days of describing their requirement, because matching uses AI-assisted search over already-vetted profiles rather than a fresh executive search.

You describe the function, scope, and hours per week. FraCXOhire's search ranks executives from the vetted network against that requirement, using their assessed experience, leadership scope, functional domain, and location. You review the shortlist and decide whom to speak with; the AI does not hire on your behalf.

Every executive completes a structured, scored assessment covering total experience, years in leadership, highest organisational scope, company context, the largest verifiable outcome they led, and specialist domains. A profile can only be approved after the assessment is passed.

Yes. A company requests a contract with a proposed rate, hours per week, and duration; the company can propose revised terms; and FraCXOhire's team finalises the rate and start date before the contract goes live. Executives then submit weekly timesheets that the company approves or rejects, and payments are raised from approved timesheets through the platform.

Cost depends on the function, the executive's seniority, the hours per week, and the length of the mandate. The rate for each engagement is agreed in the contract on the platform, and you are billed against approved timesheets, so you pay for hours actually worked.
