Fractional vs. Full-Time Teams: Maximizing Efficiency and Expertise

Your talent needs probably fluctuate as you adapt and grow and the market changes around you. Fractional teams are on the rise at many companies in response to these changes in the professional landscape. Your investment might be best spent dynamically on marketing, design, and development over the year rather than being locked into a fixed, entirely internal team.

Especially if you are running a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), you need access to cost-efficient, flexible specialist help and capacity. A hybrid hiring model might be just the thing for you.
