The number one complaint of US companies, setting up shop in Germany, are the number of holidays. Tim Heathcote, Headhunter Here is a little warp-up: The headhunter must:

Understand the company and the values of the company Know what technical skill is required for the role Understand the incentive structure of the company hiring Get familiar with the legal restrictions for an employment contract Set up a hiring process (this step may also be at #7, depending on your CTO and his/her network). What are you testing for How do you test it for How do you measure it

Use the network of your CTO to build the tech team When the tech team gets larger, you need to rely on a headhunter at one point
