What it is

Not a recruitment service. A network you can trust.

Fractional+45 connects Australian organisations directly with experienced technology professionals. When the need is bigger than one person, we assemble and run multi-specialist teams.

Our consultants aren't pulled from a CV database. They're active in the Talentology community and represented through CareerAGENT, so when we introduce someone, we've worked with them. That's the difference.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this really free?

Yes. Fractional+45 is a community service with no placement fees, no commissions and no consulting mark-ups. We're advocates for +45 talent, not middlemen.

How quickly can you provide referrals?

Usually within 48 hours of understanding your need. Our fastest engagements have gone from first call to consultant on site in under a week.

Are the professionals vetted?

Every Fractional+45 consultant has been personally engaged through the Talentology ecosystem, not sourced from a database. When we introduce a consultant or delivery partner, we've worked with them.

What if I only need someone for 2 days a week?

That's what fractional engagement is for. Consultants can work on a regular part-time cadence, such as two or three days a week.

Can I request a whole team?

Yes. We've introduced single consultants and assembled delivery teams of up to 20 people across several IT SME partners, and run engagements with more than one delivery partner at once.

Can boutique recruiters use this service?

Yes. Fractional+45 is open to employers and recruiters. After an introduction, you engage directly with the consultant on terms that work for you.
