Bring in a senior technology leader part-time — to set architecture, hire and steer your engineers, and own delivery — without the cost of a full-time CTO.
You get an operator who has shipped and scaled real products — leading architecture and engineers from week one, not learning on your budget.
Two days a week or two weeks a month — the engagement flexes with your roadmap, so you pay for leadership, not a full-time seat you don't yet need.
Every candidate is screened on real technical leadership and run through a structured work-style assessment, so the person matches how your team actually works.
A fractional Chief Technology Officer only works if they slot into how your team already operates. Every leader we put forward is screened on track record and run through a structured work-style assessment — powered by JobCannon, our own live assessment platform (1,500+ skills, 2,500+ career profiles). You see how a person actually leads and decides before you hand them a function. Fewer expensive mis-engagements, faster yes/no.
See JobCannon →Fractional CTO engagements are billed as a monthly retainer scaled to the days per week you need — far below a full-time CTO salary plus equity. We confirm the exact rate on the first call.
Often. Many fractional CTOs start part-time to set direction and hire the team, then either stay fractional long-term or transition to full-time as you scale. You're not locked in.
Yes. If you need someone to step in during a gap — a departure, a fundraise, a turnaround — we place interim CTOs on the same vetted basis, full-time for a fixed window.
We reply within one business day with a shortlist plan and typically match 2–3 vetted fractional CTOs within days.
Need the work done rather than staffed? We don't just place people — Make It Real also runs the work end to end. Same team, two ways in.
We reply within one business day with a match plan. Monthly retainer scaled to the days you actually need — no full-time exec comp, no long search.
