Transitioning from start-up to scale-up demands experienced technical leadership to drive enterprise-grade innovation.
Grasp HR
Engineering Excellence at Scale
On the cusp of Series A funding and with several enterprise clients already secured, Grasp HR recognised the need to strengthen their executive team. Their focus turned to appointing an experienced CTO who could build and lead an engineering function capable of delivering world-class software at scale, marking a crucial step in their growth journey.
The Challenge
Grasp HR operated with a hybrid model of in-house engineering talent and outsourced technical operations. They needed a CTO who could evaluate their current product and platform whilst crafting a robust, long-term technology roadmap. The ideal candidate would need to bridge two worlds: understanding enterprise-level software delivery complexity whilst possessing the agility to scale a technology business from its early stages.
The Solution
We initiated our search within our established network of senior technology leaders with start-up experience. Our approach delivered a diverse shortlist ranging from seasoned CTOs to ambitious first-time candidates. As the requirements crystallised, it became clear that deeper experience would best serve Grasp's needs. Through a comprehensive and rigorous selection process, we helped identify and secure a CTO with the perfect blend of expertise.
The Results
The successful CTO appointment has positioned Grasp HR for their next phase of growth. Our partnership continues as we support them in building out their engineering team, contributing to their ongoing success and expansion.
