TASK
Advertising platform needed to find a Technical Director due to the departure of the founder
An advertising platform that buys online apps and social media ads has asked for help in finding a CTO. The founder, who was responsible for the product and development, went out of business after the sale of the company.
We were looking for a CTO for a quick dive into the product and development
When selecting candidates, the requirements for experience and skills were taken into account:
— an expert with an understanding of the advertising market
— charismatic leader
— came out of the development sphere and knows how to code
Stage 1
solution
Made a market map to find as many suitable specialists as possible for the client's request
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.
Stage 2
Among 30 candidates, the client chose a specialist for the role of CTO
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.
result
After 1.5 years, CTO continues to develop the product in the company
We managed to close a key position in 3 months. After 1.5 years from the date of taking the position, our candidate continues to develop the product and brings it to new markets.
