Scale-up
Hiring the tech leadership of a scale-up.
At this stage, one leadership hire changes the trajectory of the whole organisation. VP of Engineering, Head of Data, Head of Product: we headhunt leaders who have already lived this growth, and can hire the teams that go with them at volume.
Hiring a VP of Engineering
The VP of Engineering runs an organisation of several teams: hiring, delivery, process. We look for profiles who have already grown a team at this scale.

FAQ
Hiring in a scale-up, your questions.
When should you hire a VP of Engineering?
Often when the CTO can no longer both carry the technical vision and run the team day to day. We help you define the right moment and profile.
Can you hire several profiles in parallel?
Yes, through contingency recruitment on several roles, or RPO: a Bluecoders recruiter joins your team, at a daily rate, across the whole cycle.
Can the search stay confidential?
Yes. To replace a leader or create a sensitive role, we approach candidates without a public ad and only reveal your company's name to qualified profiles.
How much does hiring a tech leader cost?
In executive search, a retainer at launch, then a fee when the candidate starts. The amount depends on the role: we give it to you in writing after the first call.
