Part-Time Executive Services FAQ

The questions people ask before bringing in a part-time executive.

A part-time executive works set days each week for one organisation, often on a pro-rata employment contract. Unlike a fractional executive, who holds several clients, a part-time executive is part of one team on a fixed pattern of days.
Fractional when you need senior judgement every week but not every day; interim when you need full-time cover or a change led now; part-time when the load is steady and you want the same person long term; permanent when the seat is full-time work for years.
You brief us on the seat, the shape and the start date. We come back with a shortlist of 3–5, each with rate or salary, availability and IR35 position set out, assessed through our five-stage vetting.
It depends on how the engagement runs in practice. For medium and large private-sector clients the client makes the status determination; each candidate on our shortlist states their IR35 position.
