Why It Matters

Not every role needs 40 hours, but it still needs guaranteed time

Hourly hiring can leave you waiting when the freelancer picks up other work. A reserved weekly block guarantees the hours exist for you, even in a quiet week.

A Block Reserved in Advance

Hours that exist for you, week to week

The resource sets aside a fixed weekly block for your project, so the hours are guaranteed rather than dependent on what else they pick up that week.

  • 10, 15, 20 or 30 hour blocks available.
  • Hours guaranteed, not first-come first-served.
  • Predictable weekly billing.

Room to Grow When You're Ready

The same person, moved to full time later

Many roles start as part time to confirm the fit, then move to Dedicated Full-Time Resource once the workload justifies it, without restarting the search with someone new.

  • Same person carries context forward.
  • No re-hiring cost when scope grows.
  • Hours adjusted with notice as needs change.

FAQ

Dedicated Part-Time Resource, answered

What does Dedicated Part-Time Resource actually mean?
You reserve a fixed number of hours a week, such as 10, 20 or 30, that belong only to your project. The resource does not juggle your work against other clients inside that reserved block.
How is this different from Hourly Hiring?
Hourly Hiring bills only for hours actually logged, with no guaranteed weekly block. Dedicated Part-Time Resource reserves a fixed weekly block in advance, so availability is guaranteed even in a lighter week.
Can I choose how many hours per week?
Yes. Common blocks are 10, 15, 20 or 30 hours a week, and the block can change with notice as your workload shifts.
Who manages the resource day to day?
You do. The resource reports directly to you for their reserved hours, the same as a part-time in-house hire would.
Can this convert to full time later?
Yes. Many clients start part time to validate the fit, then move the same person to Dedicated Full-Time Resource once the workload justifies it.
What if the resource is not the right fit?
We replace them at no extra recruiting cost during the engagement, with a handover of their in-progress work to the replacement.
