Talent as a service
When it comes to talent selection at a price and speed that matches your business needs, we’ve done the leg work so you can onboard with confidence and hit the ground running.
Three steps to your new fractional C-Suite:
1
Profici has assembled and vetted a network of senior leaders who know what it takes to build a successful business because they’ve done it before. Representing a wide range of industries and functional disciplines, our leaders have the skills and experience to integrate seamlessly with your existing team to find solutions to pain points, craft a dynamic growth strategy and deliver noticeable results.
2
We take time to understand your business needs and identify talent gaps, whether that’s finding a respected CFO to help lead the business through scale-up, a dynamic CMO for a new product launch or an experienced COO who can streamline operations. Some fast-growing businesses may need one or more appointments in order to build a leadership team that has the depth and breadth of skills and experience to deliver. We take into account your sector, your organisational culture and the existing C-Suite dynamics to make sure our talent suggestions align with your vision, goals and culture.

When you have selected your preferred candidate(s), we help guide you through the process of onboarding. It typically takes five to ten working days, but we can move faster for urgent placements. With no long-term contracts and flexible pricing, you can build the C-Suite that works for you. Whether it’s one day a week or a longer-term contract, you’re in control.
