Nacho's process
Hiring our entire network is easier than 1 person.
Tell us what's on your plate.
We start with a free 30-minute phone call where we learn about your business, what you need handled, who you're looking for, and how we can help. No job description required.
Plan your delegation.
For $300, we build your Strategic Delegation Plan. It's exactly what to delegate and the talent mix to do it. Not quite right? We'll revise it, and it's yours to keep either way.
Meet your match.
We hand-pick 1-3 candidates from our vetted network and introduce you. You talk to them before you commit. If it's not a fit, we go again. You're choosing a person, not a profile.
Work with your new team.
We handle all the contracts, payments, and ongoing check-ins, while your new team members work right inside your own tools and systems, so they're ready to be productive from day one.
Flex as you grow.
Your needs shift, and we shift with you. Scale hours up or down, add or swap talent as priorities change. The relationship grows with your business, not against it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you may be wondering.
What does "fractional" actually mean?
You get a dedicated, experienced person for a fraction of their week (5, 10, 20+ hours) instead of a full-time salary. Same commitment and context as an employee, sized to your actual need.
What kinds of roles can I get?
Fractional Executives (CMO, CFO, COO, CTO, Head of Sales, People), Executive Assistants, and Specialists across bookkeeping, marketing, design, recruiting, and ops. See the Talent section for the full picture.
Can 1 person cover more than 1 need?
Yes. Many clients start with an EA who pulls in a Specialist or Executive from the same network when a project calls for it. 1 relationship, with the whole bench behind it.
Where is your talent based?
Every single person in the Nacho network lives and works in the U.S. No offshore teams, no exceptions.
Do I manage them day-to-day?
They work with you like a team member, but we manage the relationship, not just match it. You get a dedicated point of contact on our side, plus a weekly report summarizing the work completed and how much of your Talent Budget was used versus what's left. No surprises.
How fast can I get started?
Most clients meet their first match within a week of the discovery call, and many start the same week.
What does it cost, and how does billing work?
You set 1 flexible monthly Talent Budget and spend it across Executives, Specialists, and EAs. Starting rates are EAs from $35/hr, Specialists from $50/hr, and Executives from $95/hr, with a $1,000 monthly minimum. Billing is flat and monthly, unused hours roll over so nothing you pay for goes to waste, and your weekly report keeps usage visible the whole way through. Book a call for exact numbers with no surprises.
Is there a long-term contract?
There's a short initial term so your match has time to get real traction, and after that it's simple month-to-month. Scale up, scale down, pause, or add talent as your needs change.
What if it's not a fit?
We re-match you free under the Nacho Guarantee until the fit is right.
