The sort of impact a GRO.TEAM person can have is very well described by George Berkowski in his best selling book “How To Build A Billion Dollar App” (pages 358-359) when he says…

“The change was truly amazing. Much of the shared frustration was removed…we started to feel that we were firing on all cylinders…it was truly a great time at the company.”

The sort of Tech Leadership we believe in is very well described by Simon Edwards in his best selling book “think do show” (pages 87-88) when he says of GRO.TEAM founding team member Rorie Devine...

“Rorie was relentless in his intention to make Hailo a centre of Engineering excellence. Rorie not only wanted to build the best software organisation possible, he also wanted all of Hailo to work closely together…Rorie is the kind of boss you really want to work for, demanding results but always in your corner…”

“GRO.TEAM found us an Interim CIO at very short notice. I liked all of the people on the short list so it was a tough choice but our Interim CIO was fantastic. He was a real breath of fresh air and just what we needed."

INTERIM CTO FAQ​

In this context Interim means an arrangement that is envisaged to last for a relatively short time until a permanent arrangement is put in place. In the past Interim CTOs were seen as “stop gaps” to “hold the fort” between permanent CTO appointments but these days the benefits of deploying Interim CTO expertise that perfectly matches today’s (rather than yesterday’s or tomorrow’s) challenges are better appreciated by businesses that need great execution today.
In this context an Interim CTO is a CTO or Technology Leader that is deployed by a company for a short period of time (usually 6-18 months) to increase the positive business impact of their technology team and spend.
Our commission is included in one simple monthly day rate x number of days worked invoice. We pay the Interim to keep things simple and clean both ways.
Interim CTO can also mean Interim Compulsory Treatment Order under UK mental health regulations. We don’t know much about that here…maybe have a look here for that?
If the stars (diaries) align the actual process itself can be as short as one day with the successful candidate’s existing engagements normally being the limiting factor.
Fundamentally we look across four axes….

1. Technology domain expertise and understanding.

2. Chemistry, cultural fit and ability to work in a team.

3. A business impact output “What” rather than an input “How” focus.

4. Great credentials and a genuine track record of positive business impact.

Many hiring mistakes have been made by focussing solely on technical expertise when hiring Technology Talent…
We really do know all the top CTO and CIOs in Europe and North America.  When he last checked Rorie had over 7,000 LinkedIn connections, the vast majority of which are fellow CTOs and CIOs.
All of the GRO.TEAM leadership team are still client facing Interim C level executives that really do understand their respective areas and know what good, really good and great looks like in their areas.

As a candidate for a C-Level role, I can highly recommend Gro.Team, who manage to be both highly professional and friendly and engaging. With a level of technical expertise that many candidates can only dream about, unlike some recruiters Rorie not only knows his stuff inside-out but also understands what you're looking for, and is genuinely motivated to find a match that suits both business and candidate equally.

We used GRO.TEAM to iron out internal issues with CTOs, they also helped us to revise our way of working and helped us with a very successful growth hacking campaign. They took us through a full consultation assessing what was and wasn't working internally - they also helped with internal mentoring for some of our staff. Overall - exceptionally good service and a fantastic business to work with.
