Frequently Asked Questions

  • Fractional hiring involves hiring part-time or contract-based professionals to fulfil specific roles or tasks within a company.

    Instead of hiring full-time employees, organisations bring in experts on a temporary basis, allowing them to access specialised skills without the long-term commitment.

    This approach offers greater flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and access to a diverse pool of talent, making it particularly attractive for small businesses or startups looking to optimise their workforce and adapt to varying workloads.

  • Absolutely!

    While we do charge a placement fee when one of our experts is hired internally, our primary focus is ensuring both our experts and partners are happy.

    Many of our experts, having gained valuable experience across numerous startups, cherish their flexible work lives. However, if someone discovers an excellent opportunity for a full-time position, we genuinely celebrate the amazing relationship they’ve built with our partner.

  • It varies based on the individual. We offer reduced rates for long-term commitments such as multi-month retainers.

    Depending on your needs, value based pricing may make more sense than an hourly rate.

    LifeForce charges a small rate in addition to the base rate for each expert for our placement and administrative services.

    We ensure that all pricing is fully transparent before you begin working with your expert.

  • If you're seeking an expert with the remarkable ability to foresee challenges, steer clear of mistakes, and elevate your team's performance, partnering with LifeForce is the ideal choice.

    The experts we collaborate with often prefer the freedom of freelance work over committing to full-time employment, enabling them to serve multiple clients and industries. This dynamic arrangement not only benefits them in their career journey but also grants you, as our valued partner, access to their diverse perspectives and extensive experience, adding valuable insights to your projects and endeavours.

  • Working as a fractional expert with LifeForce offers a unique blend of flexibility and independence, allowing you to tailor your schedule to fit personal commitments and interests while honing your professional skills.
