Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Here are the ones we get asked most often. Not finding what you’re looking for? Drop us a line and we’ll help you get to the bottom of it.
JoinWhat are fractional professionals?
Skilled pros in different fields who bring their unique talents to the table, working with one or many companies. They usually rock it on a contract or project basis, giving them the flexibility to give businesses the expertise they need, just typically not on a full-time basis. It’s a new-school approach to work that more pros and biz owners are warming up to – and for good reason!
Who is this platform for?
Forteh is more than just a platform – it’s a revolution in how we approach work. We’re for skilled pros looking for more freedom and flexibility in their careers, and for forward-thinking businesses who are ready to scale up, without the need for an entire roster of full-timers.
We’re for companies across industries and biz stages, but find that our model works especially well for start-ups in the tech space.
As for pros, we welcome savvy leaders in marketing, operations, accounting, finance, procurement, and beyond. Our fractional pros range from specialists to seasoned C-suite level execs – because variety is the spice of life!
Do fractional pros pay to be on Forteh?
Heck no! You heard right – leave your credit card out of this and join Forteh for free.
How much does it cost for businesses to use Forteh?
Our token-based system charges biz owners for connections, not for placements. Our transparent recruitment service is here to keep it real, helping businesses build their dream teams (without breaking the bank).
More senior roles cost more tokens, and you’ll get bonus tokens for doing things like creating a job post or hiring a candidate from the platform. Some old-school recruiters might think that’s crazy, but we think it’s a no-brainer.
Do I get a cash refund for tokens that I don’t use?
Sadly, no. On the upside, you’ll get the chance to cash in your tokens with connections anytime, as they’ll never expire. If a pro doesn’t accept your connection request, you’ll get a refund on those tokens automatically.

Do I have to own my own business or be self-employed to be fractional?
We suggest fractional pros keep their own gigs going. But if you and a company hit it off, joining their payroll is an option, too. It’s all about finding the right fit for everyone. Just remember, if you go in-house full time, your pay might be lower to make up for things like benefits and taxes – which the company takes on as your employer.
Why can’t I upload my resume?
We’re mixing things up. Instead of condensing a person’s professional journey into a static doc, we’re more interested in learning about the specialized skills that you bring to the table in a specific niche market. We’ve also integrated fun flourishes, like a video intro, to help you stand out from the crowd.
Why can’t I upload my LinkedIn profile?
Forteh is different from other platforms. Our user prompts and features are strategically designed with a focus on creating authentic relationships between fractional pros and expanding co’s. We are all about efficiency, but taking shortcuts just isn’t our thing. Trust us, you’ll thank us later.
What if a candidate doesn’t work out?
If you and a pro don’t hit it off (we hope that doesn’t happen), we are unable to process token refunds. By charging only for connections, Forteh helps companies dodge the steep placement fees that other recruitment agencies charge. Besides, you never know what the future holds – you just might want to save those missed connections for a rainy day!
What browser works best for Forteh?
Some browsers are bullies. To make the most of your experience on the platform, we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome.
