Stage 1
Stage 2
Made a market map to find as many suitable specialists as possible for the client's request
Among 30 candidates, the client chose a specialist for the role of CTO
A CTO with knowledge of the advertising industry is a rare combination, there are only 15-20 such specialists on the market. There are even fewer professionals with strong managerial experience. At the same time, just a few of them are ready to move to a new position in a limited time frame.

We have compiled market maps - collected relevant companies and the best candidates into a single list. This helped to find all the suitable specialists and not to miss those who can perfectly suit the role, but aren't currently submitting a resume.
In total, we found 30 candidates for the role of CTO, of which, after internal interviews, we presented 15 candidates to the client. He chose 5 people for a personal interview, one candidate received an offer.
