I run a fractional jobs site. Lots of non-technical customers are interested in ai. What problem does Chroma solve for these non-technical users?

Are you trying to insult my design skills or my Webflow skills?

Yup, I see these examples all the time. You're spot on.

Fair, but I find, and I think this thread is evident, that a lot of folks are actually proactively seeking part-time work for one reason or another. If done correctly, you can actually make more money than an equivalent full-time role.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the over-employment trend, although I do see some arguments for it. A lot of the companies that are looking to hire on fractional jobs are quite explicit that they don't want folks that have full-t

Here's the thing, and I'm open to thoughts here. But I've found that candidate A can be a great fit for company B, but a terrible fit for company C. I think a match is way more subjective than folks tend to give it credit for

Which ad blocker? I will test this.

Totally agree! We've featured a number of Fractional CISO roles.

I realize I should probably comment links to some of the better engineering roles we're currently featuring right now. BTW I should also note we don't take a % commission like Upwork, Toptal, etc. So if you get hired you'd wo

Thanks! Most of the clients hiring engineers tend to be non-technical, especially those hiring Fractional CTOs of course. But sometimes we'll work with CTOs to hire a contractor for their team too. I think the devs that have the most s

It's exactly what it was labeled, an experiment. We tried it once months ago, and I didn't like it. So we killed it.

Happy to hear it, we put a lot of work into closing the loop with everyone.

This is exactly correct. We're not saying somehow somebody is cheating the system (e.g. by not paying taxes), we're showing how it's a lot more transparent.

You are correct, though we actually don't charge for a job posting. Companies pay us a referral fee if they hire a candidate we send to them.

[founder of https://fractionaljobs.io here] You're generally correct, though people will certainly use the word fractional in a much more... how do we say... "aspirational" way, if you catch my drift.

This is exactly correct :). I'm going to feature this comment in tomorrow's newsletter

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io ] You'd hire a Fractional CTO when you don't have the need for (or the budget for) a full-time CTO, but still want that level of technical expertise. It's really a

Hey CJ, I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io . Very cool to hear about your experiences on the hiring side. I'd love to ask you more questions about your ideal SOW, as I'm working on something to directly

Hey Dave, I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io , if it's helpful you can book a time with me through the website and I can talk you through the pros / cons of hiring a Fractional CTO (and then help you hir

[Founder of https://fractionaljobs.io here] Engineering = Software Engineers through CTOs, Product = Product Managers through CPOs. And other nuances, like Engineering will also capture Security roles too.

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io ] Fractional is not quite the same as part-time, so we do not post all part-time roles. Generally speaking, we filter for the following criteria: - Senior-level role, think 6+ ye

The word fractional implies a level of expertise / seniority. But yes, it's a fancy word for part-time.

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io ] We get paid in two ways, 1) companies pay us a flat "referral fee" if they hire a candidate we send them, 2) through sponsorships of our newsletter. We are not involv

What kind of role are you looking for? I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io , I may be able to give you a better sense of why these aren't working for you.

Founder of https://fractionaljobs.io here, yes you're right. But we spend dozens of hours a week sourcing the whole web for open fractional roles. So it's not that this board doesn't have the ones you want, it&#

Thanks for sharing. We get new roles every week tho! Hiring part-time engineers is growing very quickly in popularity.

I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io - we help talent (e.g. engineers) with senior-level fractional gigs. We've placed maybe 5 lead engineer or CTO roles in the last couple of months. Happy to answer Q's i
