FAQs

Contractors are hands-on specialists hired short-term to deliver a project or cover a skills gap, usually on a day-rate basis. Interims fill temporary management roles to stabilise a function, cover a gap or drive specific change. Fractional hires provide senior expertise on a part-time basis — typically one to three days a week — on an ongoing basis. We recruit across all three, depending on whether you need delivery, leadership cover or ongoing strategic support.

We recruit mid-to-senior contract, interim and fractional talent for startups and scale-ups, from experienced individual contributors through to C-suite. Our core areas are:

  • Tech: Engineering & Product
  • Data
  • Go-to-market: Sales, Customer Success, Partnerships, Marketing & Growth
  • People & Operations

We place UK-based contractors as well as EU and US profiles, depending on the role, time zone coverage and compliance requirements. We’ll advise on the best setup based on speed, budget and how your team works day to day.

Yes. We stay up to date on IR35 and the wider compliance checks required for contractor hiring, and provide guidance on what’s needed before an engagement begins.

Every candidate is screened for relevant experience, technical or functional capability, and fit for the assignment — including availability, rate and working style — before being submitted. Only prescreened candidates are put forward.

For urgent contract roles, we can often provide a shortlist within 24 hours, including confirmed availability and day rates. Fractional leadership searches can take longer depending on the specialism and candidate availability, so we’ll confirm the expected timeline at the outset.

We work on a day-rate basis and advise on the right market rate based on skillset, seniority and contract setup. We invoice weekly against approved timesheets, and our fee is built into the agreed rate upfront, so there are no surprise add-ons.

Most assignments run for three months or longer, though we can support shorter projects case by case. Extensions and backfills can be arranged quickly, with ongoing check-ins throughout the assignment.

Yes. If both parties agree, we can support the conversion to a permanent role and help agree the right terms.

Our process is built specifically for startups and scale-ups, and so is the contractor talent we represent. We only submit prescreened, reference-checked contractors and fractional hires who meet the brief and can hit the ground running. This gives you a fast, focused shortlist without compromising fit or due diligence.

Chief Revenue Officer

CRO or senior commercial leadership roles in B2B SaaS or tech-enabled services businesses where growth has stalled or needs to accelerate, and where resetting GTM execution, team capability and revenue discipline will materially change outcomes. I’m particularly interested in transformation mandates that require cross-functional alignment across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Product to reset execution, build confidence in the number and unlock the next phase of growth.
