Hire Executives
How we solve your problem
Some boards want the reassurance of a recognizable name before they'll trust a search. That reassurance has a cost: a retainer paid regardless of outcome, months spent on process, and a shortlist that photographs well but rarely survives the room.
What actually de-risks an executive hire is someone who already knows the market you're hiring into, not the name on the invoice. That's the trade-off worth making when the leadership gap is real: scaling engineering, fixing operations, or steering the business through what's next.
Trust
The difference at Doghouse
No retainer fee
Paid only when someone starts.
Saves you time
No padding, no assessments nobody asked for.
No performance theater
No DNA workshops, no five-year vision decks.
Same recruiter, start to finish
The recruiter you speak to is the recruiter who runs the search.
The wrong CTO now costs more
Every SaaS product rests on a layer AI can now replicate. Boardrooms and PE portfolios are already asking the same question: once the product itself is easy to copy, what still protects the valuation? Rarely a technical leader on their own, and rarely a commercial one the profile that actually defends it is scarce precisely because it has to be both.
Real cases
Hear from the clients and candidates we’ve helped. Take RTL for example. Since 2020 we've been partnering with RTL to help them hire for their technology teams and leaders. That's what made the partnership worth it.
