How Frec hires

Truth index

Stale roles

Reposted roles
0%

Frec scores B on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 3 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 100% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Frec brings direct indexing to retail investors, buying the underlying shares of an index so losses on individual positions can be harvested for tax. It also offers portfolio-backed lines of credit at rates tied to short-term benchmarks. The service targets people who would otherwise hold index funds in a taxable account.
