“There are things that are said, there are things that are heard, and there are things that are remembered. And very rarely are all three of those things the same.”

Is your team growing faster than your hiring process can handle? You’re not alone. In today’s fast-moving business landscape, the pressure to fill critical roles without slowing down operations is higher than ever. What happens when your internal team can’t keep up, or your recruiters aren’t equipped to hire outside their comfort zone?

Fractional recruiting is not just a cost-saving measure, but a smart, strategic way to build high-performing teams when internal resources are stretched. Mike Simmons is a veteran in sales, leadership, and growth strategy who returns to discuss fractional recruiting. Whether you’re a business leader trying to scale without burning out your staff, or a recruiter juggling roles you’re not equipped to fill, he offers clear insight and actionable advice.

Fractional arrangements should never be horror stories. They should propel your business forward, with flexibility and precision. If you want to ensure your next fractional hire is a win, focus on alignment, communication, and process.
