FAQ

How do I know the executive is a good fit?

We match you with a leader whose experience, transferable skills (superpowers), budget fit, and way of working align with your needs — and soon, we’ll include cultural fit too. While oolu curates exceptional matches, we encourage you to interview candidates to ensure they’re the right fit for your team and needs.

What industries do you serve?

oolu serves businesses across all industries — from tech, SaaS, and healthcare to construction, manufacturing, energy, finance, and more. While any industry can benefit from fractional leadership, we see the greatest demand from innovative companies, startups and scale-ups, and organizations seeking project-based expertise or mentoring for succession planning.

What if I want to stop the engagement?

You can scale up or down anytime — just give 30 days’ notice to the fractional leader (or payment in lieu) through oolu. No long-term contracts, full flexibility.

Why not just hire a full-time executive?

A fractional executive gives you high-level expertise at a fraction of the cost and hours of a full-time hire — perfect when you don’t need someone full-time. You also avoid the added costs of benefits, source deductions, and severance. Plus, with just 30 days’ notice to end the engagement, you keep the flexibility to scale leadership as your needs evolve.

How long does it take to get matched with a fractional executive?

It depends on the position, but most companies are matched within a few days. From there, the timeline depends on how quickly you move through interviews, background checks (if desired, typically 3–5 days), and signing an offer. Most clients complete the full process within a week to 10 days — much faster than traditional hiring.

Can I hire someone full-time if the fit is perfect?

Yes — if both sides agree, a fractional engagement can evolve into a full-time role, with applicable conversion fees.

What roles can oolu help fill?

We specialize in senior leadership roles across all functional areas — C-Suite, VP, and Director levels — including accounting & finance, human resources, technology, marketing, sales, operations, legal, strategy, supply chain, product development/management, engineering and more.

Do your executives work remotely or on-site?

It depends on your needs. oolu matches executives for on-site, hybrid, or remote work, ensuring the best fit for your team and location.

How much does it cost?

Rates depend on your chosen plan, promotional incentives, and other factors. oolu provides competitive, market-leading rates—your most cost-effective choice for fractional hiring. Standard rates are available in our agreements for your review before joining.
