If your startup is growing, you’re hiring. And if you’re hiring senior-level talent, you probably need an outside recruiter.

Taking on an engineering leadership role can be disorienting for fresh recruits from the engineering ranks and seasoned veterans alike.

I once worked with a first-time CEO who needed to hire a VP of sales. He wanted to take charge of the hiring process—then I learned he was preparing by Googling “How to interview VP’s of sales.”. As a recruiter, I see too many companies jump into interviewing candidates before they know what they want.

Charity once said an off-hand sentence that became a mantra for my transition into the VP of Engineering role: “Directors run the company.” My priority number one had been to “run engineering well.” A successful startup engineering team has to say no to tantalizing opportunities constantly.

Start with an influential manager you trust and recruit them as an ally. I was originally approached by an engineering manager at a company with several hundred engineers and about 45 software teams. The engineering manager found my thoughts about scaling insightful, so he introduced me to his VP of Engineering.

He was losing sleep about his company’s challenges arising from: Poor vendor management A hodgepodge of tech that wouldn’t scale Inability to keep up with new leads Stagnant R&D Lack of focus A week later I found myself in a similar conversation, this time with a VP of Engineering looking for an outside perspective.

But for engineering and team leaders without an ML background, this can also feel overwhelming and intimidating. I regularly meet smart, successful, highly competent and normally very confident leaders who struggle to navigate a constructive or effective conversation on ML — even though some of them lead teams that engineer it.

Frankly, I don’t know a single CIO, CTO or VP of Engineering or Operations that would disagree with me. By the time you’ve calculated all the re-engineering, loss of capital depreciation, and operating costs of a public cloud migration you are likely wondering why anyone would ever make a move to the public cloud.
