No matter what shape the employment market is in, searching for qualified technology and engineering leaders presents unique challenges. Practically every company has become a tech company today; this is imperative to remain competitive. And with cybersecurity needs rising and AI enablement accelerating, finding leaders with the right combination of technical expertise, strategic thinking skills, and strong leadership capabilities is more challenging than ever.
Additionally, the post-COVID, return-to-office trend has shrunk the search universe. As both employers and tech employees prefer a hybrid work environment, an increasing number of companies are focusing their searches closer to home, making it more difficult to find elite talent. At SPMB, our extensive connections and in-depth knowledge of the product candidate community allow us to identify executives who favor hybrid work or are open to relocation quickly. This ensures that our clients consistently have access to the best talent available, regardless of the circumstances.
SPMB Executive Search is the #1 executive search firm serving the technology industry. No matter what sector your business is in, we’ll tap a vast network of top leadership talent across enterprise technology, consumer technology, cybersecurity, and AI & machine learning to fill your technology and engineering leadership needs.
Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) not only stay on top of the latest technical trends and advances, they also create visionary technology strategies that align with business objectives. Furthermore, CTOs must be able to communicate complex processes and ideas to other company executives and board members to promote innovation that helps the company maintain a competitive edge. Therefore, it’s critical they collaborate closely with other functional teams — including product, sales, and marketing — to manage data, streamline processes, and cut costs, while bringing new ideas to life and to market.
SPMB has assisted hundreds of companies, from start-ups to publicly traded industry leaders, hire the technical leadership executives who have driven them to greater achievements. We’ll conduct a comprehensive search to find exceptional candidates with the right blend of tech expertise and leadership skills to elevate your technology discipline to an elite level.
As turnover can be common in technology and engineering, executives must be great leaders, providing mentorship and growth opportunities to employees at all levels. Leaders must foster a work culture that supports continuous learning, fearless risk-taking, and inclusivity to build talented, devoted technical and engineering teams.
We’ll tap our diverse talent pool to offer candidates at the CTO, Vice President and Head of Engineering levels who have a track record of bringing fresh perspectives and personable approaches toward retaining and growing top engineering talent.
