You might consider hiring a full-time CTO in the following situations:
The success of your business as a whole depends on extensive technical skills and knowledge. You will not start any serious product or business development without a technical co-founder, who will step into the CTO role.
Your organisation has reached a size that justifies a full-time CTO and you have the funds to pay for one.
You are replacing a CTO who has left your organisation.
We provide services in the following areas:
Recruitment: We support you and your HR department with defining selection criteria, finding candidates and selecting the right person. We also prepare you and your team for possible requests that might come from a suitable candidate. For example, excellent CTOs often request equity and will only join your team if you give them significant decision-making power. They want to know that they are not only asked to do their job, but also get access to the required resources.
Development: It will be very difficult to find the perfect candidate and also meet your budget needs. With our support, maybe you can train someone in your existing team to take on the CTO role. We also help your new CTO to integrate quickly with the rest of the team and augment his skills and knowledge with what is relevant for your specific situation.
