How to Hire a Fractional Executive from Shiny

Once you’ve decided that you need a fractional executive, be that a fractional CFO, fractional CMO, fractional CTO, or any other C-level role, it’s time to head over to Shiny.

Hiring a fractional executive on Shiny is a three-step process.

Step 1: Defining the Role and Responsibilities

When you’ve decided that you want to hire someone fractionally, the first step is to define the role and the budget. You can begin by scoping out the responsibilities you expect the role to cover.

If you use Shiny for hiring, we will help you scope out the role’s responsibilities, qualifications to expect, and budget.

To get started, all you need to do is fill out a form on Shiny. At the end of the form, select a time slot and book a call with us so we can get you onboarded onto our platform.

Step 2: Shortlisting

After getting onboarded and posting a job, we will match you to the best talent from our pool of 400+ vetted fractional executives. In 48 hours, you will have a personalized list of 4 or 5 vetted executives with their cover letter and profile sitting in your Shiny dashboard. This will make your recruiting process a lot quicker and easier.

Step 3: Interviewing and Finalizing the Candidate

When you’ve decided who you want to work with, you can schedule a call and interview them. You can work out the details of the contract and scope directly with them, and then onboard them just like you would any member of the team.

Bonus: How Shiny’s Vetting Process Works

Shiny has its own vetting process where we review every application and profile and then interview candidates to ensure they would be a good fractional executive or operator for startups and scaleups.

We also look for strong communication skills — that’s a key aspect.

When someone comes to us to hire a fractional executive, we match the role to only ideal people in our vetted talent pool. They then send in pitches for the role for the hiring manager to review.

The next step is to review their pitches to see which candidates are the best fit.

From the personalized list of candidates we hand over to companies, each and every one of our candidates (or at least the vast majority of them) should be able to get the job done quite well.

At that point, the main thing to work out is who will be the best personality fit for the team and company culture.

But Shiny’s job doesn’t end here.

Let’s say you want to hire a fractional CTO and your long-term goal is to hire them full-time later. You can transition them to full-time if they are interested in it. And Shiny will help you do it.

On the other hand, if the fractional executive you hire isn’t looking to join your company full time and just wants to stay working fractionally, then you can explore other options with Shiny.
