For founders and CTOs hiring for their own company.

Where are you in the hiring decision?

If the role is unclear, compare a founding engineer, lead and CTO. If you are ready to hire, work through the profile and assessment. If you are choosing a search partner, separate the candidate’s compensation from search scope and fees.

These materials provide templates and illustrative scenarios. They do not replace technical assessment or confirm that a company is ready to hire. The inquiry asks about your own company, role and timing so the next discussion can be specific.
