FRCTNL Guidelines

Welcome to FRCTNL! 

FRCTNL exists to increase the number of high-quality fractional jobs in the world. It’s a space for people working in—or hiring for—fractional, freelance, and contract roles to connect, share insights, and support each other.

You’re encouraged to:

• Share fractional, contract, and project-based roles.

• Ask for advice, feedback, or help with fractional work.

• Discuss topics like personal branding, pricing, finding work, and working with clients.

✅ Job and Project Posts

• Fractional, freelance, and contract roles are welcome.

• It’s ok to include referral links, and it’s ok if you’re making money from a post (for example, a recruiter fee or referral bonus).

• If you’re a recruiter, you need to be posting a specific role you’re helping to fill.

✅ Personal Posts

• You can post about yourself if you’re looking for work or referrals in fractional, freelance, or contract roles.

• This type of self-promotion is limited to once every 3 months.

✅ Discussions & Questions

• You’re encouraged to ask for advice, share experiences, and talk about anything related to building a successful fractional career.

🚫 Full-Time Job Posts

• This community is focused on fractional and freelance work. Full-time roles aren’t a fit.

🚫 General Self-Promotion

• Posts that just promote your business, coaching, newsletter, substack, or productized services (unless directly tied to fractional work opportunities) are not allowed.

• FRCTNL is for conversations and connections — not for selling services or content.

🚫 Off-Topic Links

• Links are fine if they directly help someone get hired or succeed as a fractional worker.

• Links just to personal blog posts, content marketing, or unrelated services aren’t a fit.

Posts that are disallowed will be deleted.

FRCTNL is here to make it easier for talented people to find fractional work — and for companies to find great fractional talent.

This is a place to share jobs, ask questions, give advice, and help each other succeed in fractional work.

Let me know if you want me to make this even shorter or adjust the tone.
