What’s the Difference Between a Featured Job and a Syndicated Job on the Fractional Jobs Website?
For some jobs on our site, which we call “Featured Jobs”, we’re working with the client directly to bring the opportunity to you. For the others, which we call “Syndicated Jobs”, we are simply curating all the other good fractional opportunities from around the web.
On the Fractional Jobs website, and in our newsletter, you will see two different kinds of fractional job opportunities, and it’s important to understand the distinction.
Featured Jobs
Featured Jobs are ones where we are working with the client directly to help them hire the right fractional leader. You can identify them with a purple star on our job board, and a 🟣 emoji in our newsletter.
This means:
- We are in direct contact with the client, usually the founder / business owner
- After you submit an intro request and the client opts in, we can introduce you directly to the client
- There is a strict no ghosting policy - you will receive a response within 14 days
When we post a Featured Job for a client, there is an 86% chance that they’ll hire someone from the Fractional Jobs network.
Syndicated Jobs
Syndicated Jobs are other fractional opportunities that we’ve curated for you from 150+ sources around the web. For these, we’re not working with the company directly. We’re just sharing them with you for your benefit.
To apply, you can follow the instructions on the job description to get in touch with the company directly.
The Syndicated Jobs that we share are heavily curated by us, and typically meet the following criteria:
- Are fractional / part-time in nature (duh!)
- The expected compensation is believed to be $100 / hr or more (for US-based roles at least)
- The company is hiring directly, not an agency
We spend significant effort sourcing these opportunities, so if there is a fractional opportunity out there on the web, there is a VERY HIGH chance that we catch it and share it with you. We do this so that Fractional Jobs can act as the one-stop-shop for all the fractional opportunities around the web.
Although we’re not in touch with the hirers of our Syndicated Jobs, we regularly hear from our audience that they’ve gotten interviews and engagements through them.
