How getoperators works
Two sides, one rule: verified operators and bookings in the open.
For operators
Join the bench.
Add your seat, the sectors you have run inside, your rate, availability and CV. We verify your LinkedIn against it before anything goes live, usually within one business day.
Switch on when you're taking calls.
Available now is a toggle in your dashboard. It stays on for 90 days at a time and we remind you twice before it expires, so the green badge is never stale.
Take the call, keep the deal.
Companies request a booking and you accept or decline within three days. On accept they get your direct contact and you agree terms with them yourself.
Featured is chosen by getoperators and never sold. Reviews come only from companies that booked and hired through the bench.
Once you are listed you can read Open roles, the roles companies post themselves. A brief is only shown to operators on the bench because it names the seat a company cannot fill and what it will pay.
For companies
Browse the bench.
Filter by seat, sector, country and how they work, or start from what each fractional seat covers and costs. Every profile is LinkedIn-verified with a CV on file, and Available now means they are taking calls this month.
Request a booking, or post the role.
Book an operator directly in two minutes and your details go to them alone. Or post it on Open roles and let verified operators apply to you. The board is fractional and interim work; a permanent hire runs through Retained instead.
They reply within three days.
On accept you get their direct contact and contract with them directly. If nobody replies inside three days the request expires, we tell you, and we put three comparable operators in front of you.
Operator Search: nothing to start, 10% if you hire
Can't find the person, or don't have the time? We run the search for you. There is no engagement fee and none to see the shortlist: three operators, researched and assessed against your brief, in five business days. The fee is 10% of annualised value only if you appoint one, with a minimum of £3,500. Every number agreed before anything starts.
Start a search →Hiring full-time instead? We find permanent executives too, through an experienced search team, and the fee is published on the page rather than quoted on a call. That runs separately from the bench, so it is open now. See what a full-time hire costs.
