Hiring Developers and Finding a CTO

Jun 10

I'm grateful for the opportunity to partner with Dan Kwon, Vertex Labs, and DC Tech & Venture Coalition (DCTAV) on this workshop at the MLK Library. I was able to provide the perspective of being a recruiter and talent acquisition partner with over 6 years of experience who has worked agency-side, in-house, to starting my independent headhunting practice with Hippogriff Consulting.

Despite the rain, we had a great turnout of folks who attended the event. I hope everyone got value from the educational presentation on hiring, developers, CTOs in the startup ecosystem. Thanks to all who attended for a great evening.

We went over a variety of topics during the discussion including.

1. Domestic vs. International Candidates
2. Benefits of offshoring
3. Sourcing strategies to find developers and CTOs.
4. Do you need a CTO or do you need a Lead/Founding Developer
5. Best practices for vetting developers.
