# Blue Lemons for people and companies hiring

If you need senior judgement without a full-time hire, Blue Lemons gives you two routes: book a 1:1 advisory call, or send a brief for consulting or fractional work.

## Book a 1:1 advisory call

Browse the vetted directory of senior professionals and book a one-hour first conversation. No client fee, no subscription — you pay the expert's stated rate.

## Send a consulting or fractional brief

For a short-term consulting project or a fractional role, send a brief and Blue Lemons matches it to a suitable expert personally, normally within one working day.

## Phrasing a good enquiry

A clear brief gets matched faster. Include the decision you are facing, the type of expert you want, and your rough timeline.

Example brief:
"We're a 12-person SaaS company. We need a fractional CFO
 one day a week to set up board reporting before a raise.
 Timeline: start within a month."
```
