Hiring top talent, I believe, is one of the most difficult things a founder/CEO will face. Iām currently facing a hiring issue which I hope to get advice from anyone here. What is the best way to hire a good CTO?
Iām at the early stage of my startup, where my idea has been formulated and ready to start execution. Finding my CTO is a huge pain in the ass. Iāve tried posting on Startupjobs Asia, my FB, FB groups, got about 5 guys replying me but all of them are overseas (Iām based in Singapore). ā> itās so damn difficult to find talent in Singapore!!
I also asked around my friends and recently got introduced to this tech guy, letās call him X. So X has been a senior web engineer in some big firms, (similar to Groupon type), and has the experience of leading his own dev team of about 5-6 engineers. We decided to meet up for coffee and explore options.
I pitched my idea to him, which he sounded pretty interested. But one bottleneck Iām having is, how do I convince him to leave his current job (pretty well-paid, and stable) to join me as my co-founder and CTO?
