Fractional FAQs

What exactly is a fractional consultant?
Fractional consultants who work with Greenlight Partners are high-level experts available on a flexible, project basis, to provide guidance and specialized skills. Unlike full-time hires or traditional consultants, fractional experts are engaged as needed, offering flexibility and cost-efficiency without compromising on expertise.

How is Greenlight Partners different from a recruitment agency?
We don’t just fill vacancies – we solve capability gaps. Every consultant is vetted by senior leaders who understand your business challenges, ensuring the right match for both skills and cultural fit. Plus, there are no retainers or long-term contracts. You pay for what you need, when you need it.

What kind of projects are best suited for fractional consultants?
Fractional consultants are ideal for projects requiring specialized knowledge, such as digital transformation, project recovery, governance improvements, or AI integration. Whether you need leadership or executuon for three months or expert input for a specific phase, fractional works best where agility is key.

How quickly can I onboard a fractional consultant?
You can self-serve using our Fractional Roster, access pre-vetted experts and have someone engaged in as little as a few hours. If you prefer more support from Greenlight Partners we can move as fast as your internal teams can. Both processes are streamlined to avoid lengthy recruitment cycles – you get the expertise when it matters most.

How do I ensure fractional consultants align with my internal team?
Greenlight Partners carefully matches consultants to your business needs and culture. Our experts integrate seamlessly, working alongside your teams without disrupting day-to-day operations. Regular check-ins and feedback loops ensure alignment throughout the engagement, and every consultant is passionate about knowledge transfer and leaving your internal talent in a better place.

What if I only need a consultant for a short period?
That’s exactly what fractional consulting is designed for. Whether it’s a week-long project or a few hours of advisory work, our model scales to fit your needs. No project is too small – the goal is to provide impactful expertise at the right time.

Is fractional consulting more expensive than traditional consulting?
Not at all. In fact, fractional consultants often provide higher value at a lower overall cost. You avoid the overhead of full-time hires and long-term consulting contracts. Plus, you only pay for the expertise you actually use – no wasted resources.

Can I scale up or down during the engagement?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of fractional consulting is flexibility. Need more hours or additional consultants mid-project? We can scale up quickly. When the workload reduces, you can scale down without penalty.

How do I measure the success of a fractional consultant?
Whoever you work with set clear deliverables and KPIs from the start. Regular progress reviews and measurable outcomes ensure you see tangible results. Our consultants are outcome-driven, so success is always tied to your business goals.

What happens after the project ends?
Greenlight Partners doesn’t disappear once the engagement wraps up. We stay connected, offering ongoing access to our Fractional Roster for future needs. Plus, we often help clients build internal capabilities so they can continue to thrive long after the consultant has left.
