| Factor | Full-time executive | Hello Fractional |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | Often $250,000 to $400,000 or more once salary, benefits, equity, and recruiting fees are counted.* | About $57,200 a year at a half day a week, or $104,000 at a full day a week. |
| Time to start | Three to six months to recruit, hire, and onboard. | Usually one to two weeks from our first call. |
| Commitment | Long-term employment. Hard to unwind if the fit is wrong. | No minimums. Scale up, scale down, or pause as needs change. |
| Bench strength | One person and their background. | A named Hello World leader, backed by a full design and development team. |
| Best when | The role needs 40+ hours a week, every week. | You need senior judgment now, and the hours to match. |
