Fraction (previously known as fraction.work) is a technology services provider that specializes in helping companies hire software developers, product managers, and others on a fractional (long-term, part-time) basis, enabling employers to tap into talent that would otherwise be unavailable in the job market. The firm focuses on connecting businesses with experienced employees based solely in the United States. Fraction uses a subscription-based monthly pricing model similar to SaaS companies.

Business model and services
Consultants working with Fraction often have full-time employment, but have spare time in which to engage on either a quarter-time or half-time basis with a client. While unemployment in the Information Technology sector is below 2% as of July 2023, the vast majority of professionals engaged in remote work are open to additional fractional work. Fraction has similarly found that 50% of software developers and those in software product roles are interested in the fractional work concept.

Fraction currently works with software technologists across a range of roles:


 * Senior Software Developers


 * Product Managers


 * Project Managers


 * DevOps Engineers


 * CTOs and Senior Technology Architects


 * UI/UX Designers

Fraction has achieved growth in its business by successfully matching fractional technologists with clients, enabling it to reach profitability within its first year of operations.
