Should you hire a full-time COO / Integrator or retain one on a fractional basis? Why would you get a Fractional Integrator instead of hiring someone full-time?
Watch this video to get a quick rundown of this question, what factors go into the decision either way, and hopefully get enough information to help you make a decision on what’s right for your business.
In this video, our founder, Ben Wolf, lays out the most important questions and factors to think about when deciding whether you need a fractional vs. full-time COO or Integrator, including:
- Full-time, right-person-right-seat COO / Integrator is most ideal.
- The question only exists when you don’t have that and are identifying your realistic options.
- The importance of identifying your most burning need (e.g., Integrator? Head of Ops? Project manager? something else?)
- Whether you can afford the kind of full-time, experienced COO or Integrator you need ($250-$300k plus benefits and bonus?
- Identifying whether the core Integrator / COO responsibilities are a full-time job.
- Whether, even if you’re going to hire, you can afford to go without a right-person-right-seat COO / Integrator until you find the right person.
