The key skills to look for when hiring your next CTO

Hiring the wrong C-suite executive can disrupt your tech strategy. Partner with our specialist team to attract a high-performing CTO with the mindset and technical expertise your company needs.

Your CTO must have a deep knowledge of technology trends, software development, and system architecture, which is essential for shaping and executing a company’s tech strategy. A CTO must ensure the organisation’s technology aligns with its goals and drives innovation.

CTOs lead technical teams and collaborate with other executives. Strong leadership skills are crucial for motivating teams, facilitating collaboration, and guiding the organisation’s tech direction.

A CTO must align technology investments with the organisation’s business objectives. Strategic thinking enables them to prioritise projects, allocate resources effectively, and plan for short-term urgency and long-term growth and scalability.

Acting as a bridge between the technical teams and the senior stakeholders, a CTO must be able to explain complex technical concepts in clear, non-technical language to secure buy-in and align goals across the organisation.

With cyber threats increasing, your CTO must ensure robust security measures are in place to protect company data, systems, and customer trust. Proactively addressing security risks is a vital aspect of the role of a CTO.

Executive Search requires a different approach

Unfilled C-Suite Level roles stall organisational growth and disrupt strategic initiatives. Business-critical positions, such as CTO, CISO or CEO, demand careful consideration, professionalism, and confidentiality during recruitment. You don’t want to increase the risks by alerting your competitors or the exiting executive, causing unnecessary stress. You cannot afford hiring delays or lose your top candidates to your competition. Our team is here to find your next CTO–the professional who will lead your company’s tech projects, drive innovation, and inspire your tech team.
